To Mr.Tim Burton & Mr. Johnny Depp: A New Dark Shadows?

To:  Tim Burton & Johnny Depp

We, the undersigned, respectfully submit the following
to Director Tim Burton and Actor Johnny Depp:

Gentlemen: your films Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood & Sleepy Hollow are superb examples of Gothic, fantastic
cinema. We want to see more collaborative efforts
on your parts.

We ask that you both consider doing a big screen adaptation of the 1960s horror themed soap opera
Dark Shadows, with Mr. Burton in the director's chair, co-writing and co-producing the film with Dark Shadows creator Dan Curtis.
We ask that Johnny Depp consider playing Dark Shadows' central character of Barnabas Collins.

We feel that such a collaboration could revive the wonderful, well loved franchise that Dark Shadows is.
We feel that the unique, brilliant vision of Mr. Burton and the breathtaking acting talents of Mr. Depp could not only revive Dark Shadows, but create a new and enduring film classic in it's own right, a modern Gothic masterpiece.

There is a huge audience for Dark Shadows, gentlemen, and we have waited a long time for our show to return to us.
We feel this may be of interest to you both as you have both been reported to be fans of Dark Shadows yourselves, and Mr. Depp has been quoted as saying that he'd like to play Barnabas Collins.

We hope that you will take our request under consideration.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
