Washington, Dec 5 American actor Johnny Depp and American film director Tim Burton are teaming up once again for the big-screen adaptation of the popular Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows.

Hollywood producer Richard D. Zanuck has confirmed rumours that the duo, whose next project Alice in Wonderland is slated for release in 2010, will be making their eighth film together.

"I'm doing next summer - with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp - Dark Shadows, which is an old '70s soap opera (that aired) here in the United States," Contactmusic quoted Zanuck as telling Collider.com.

And starring in the film will be a dream come true for Depp - who was obsessed with the spooky programme as a child.

"(Depp) was obsessed, as a young person (with Dark Shadows). He used to sneak out of school to get home to turn on the television set. It was a very popular show for about four or five seasons," Zanuck added. (ANI)
