Is this true or just a rumor?  

When I want to know information on what my favorite star is doing in the movies or look up movie trivia, I usually always go to www.imdb.com for the information. Of late, this site has started to charge for anything beyond basic information. Sooooo, it looks like what you have heard is possibly the case. I googled "dark shadows new movie" and got a quite a few sites that discuss the very same thing. It appears it is still in the planning stage, so we will see!

I liked it when they had the last series out of dark shadow's. It was so good. That was back in the late 90's I think when that was on TV. I liked the man that played Barnabas in that. And the young lady that played Julia was just so pretty.
