has joined Tim Burton's upcoming adaptation of the popular vampire soap opera Dark Shadows says THR
McDonell, soon to be seen in the teen dramedy Prom on April 29th, will play the young Barnabas Collins, the classic vampire patriarch set to be portrayed by Johnny Depp.
Based on the cult TV Series the spooky soap-opera featured gothic horror staples like vampires, ghosts and zombies.
I will say this if they ever decide to remake the Pirates of the Caribbean films McDonell could fill Depp's boots as Jack Sparrow just on looks alone
Jackie Earle Haley, Eva Green, Bella Heathcote, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter star.
Michael Sheen may take a supporting role
Seth Grahame-Smith has penned the script while Depp, Graham King, Richard Zanuck, Christi Dembrowski and David Kennedy are producing the pic

I am probably one of Dark Shadow's biggest fans. Can't wait to see who plays the awesome Angelique!!
Angelique will be played by actress Eva Green in the film.
