Current Talk '23 I / Re: It's official: Dark Shadows returns as a film with Johnny Depp

I know it doesn't do any good to post this, but a few nights ago I was watching a bit of the new Sherlock series on pbs.org and it suddenly hit me that Benedict Cumberbatch would make a perfect Barnabas Collins. The lighting, the coat, the hairstyling for Sherlock all would be ideal for a re-conceptualization of Barnabas. Of course Cumberbatch would have to dial the whole manic genius thing WAY down for Barn but he is clearly a highly skilled actor...
He just seems to have more of "that Barnabas edge" to me than Depp. Of course, I am clearly the only fan who thinks this, so...
I have the feeling that Depp Shadows could very well be "whimsical." Whimsy seems to be a frequent feature of Tim Burton's work.
