CURTIS COURTS NEW VERSION OF SHADOWS
"FANS OF THE GOTHIC 60s SOAP DARK SHADOWS SHOULDN'T GET TOO EXCITED, BUT A DARK SHADOWS SCRIPT HAS BEEN TURNED IN TO FOX FOR CONSIDERATION. THAT BEING SAID, KEEP IN MIND THAT NETWORKS RECEIVE SCADS OF SCRIPTS, WITH ONLY A LUCKY FEW BEING MADE INTO PILOTS FOR A POSSIBLE SERIES. THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET WITH THE DARK SHADOWS SCRIPT, PENNED BY SERIES CREATOR DAN CURTIS. THE SHOW'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE, SHADOWGRAM.COM, REPORTS THAT CURTIS AND A "COLLABORATOR" WROTE THE SCRIPT. DARK SHADOWS FANS ARE LEGION, AND HAVE BEEN BUZZING FOR YEARS ABOUT A PRIME-TIME RETURN OF THE SHOW, WHICH ORIGINALLY AIRED ON ABC FROM 1966-1971. NBC AIRED A SHORT-LIVED PRIME-TIME DARK SHADOWS FROM JANUARY TO MARCH 1991 WITH STARS BEN CROSS AND JOANNA GOING."
I contacted the reporter, Michael Starr of the NY Post Starr Report by email, and told him about the shadowgram.com error-he replied that he will steer any fans to the appropriate site if any was to contact him.
Let's hope that this proposal becomes reality.
