Johnny Depp Joins Ridley Scott For Dark Graphic Novel Inspired By Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
Johnny Depp and Ridley Scott are collaborating on Hyde, a graphic novel inspired by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Actor Johnny Depp is returning to the darker side of storytelling, this time through a creative collaboration with veteran director Ridley Scott. The duo is joining forces for Hyde, a new graphic novel inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's iconic novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The project is being developed under Scott's production company and will debut as a graphic novel series this Halloween. Described as a modern reimagining of the classic gothic tale, Hyde explores the narrative from a sinister new perspective. The story begins after Mr. Hyde has already overtaken Dr. Jekyll, with Hyde now prowling the sewers of London. His malevolent reign is amplified by a mysterious serum that enables him to mutate others into monstrous reflections of himself. The visual identity of the titular character is modeled after Johnny Depp himself, who is also creatively involved in shaping both the storyline and the character's evolution. The series is created by Jesse Negron, CEO of the entertainment company Mechanical Cake. The property will be co-owned by Johnny Depp, Ridley Scott, and Mechanical Cake. 'To build within the world of Robert Louis Stevenson's masterful characters and to be welcomed into the vision of Ridley Scott… and inexplicably having the opportunity to explore, it's surprising to me. And hopefully surprising to him. It's insane and beautiful to receive that trust from Ridley. A master," said Depp, expressing his admiration for the legendary filmmaker. A preview of Hyde will be unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con, where a special panel will bring together Jesse Negron, visual designer Anthony Francisco, and other key figures from the comic and film industries. Discussions will focus on the cross-media ambitions of the project and the vision behind it. While the graphic novel series takes precedence for now, a film adaptation is already in early development, with Depp likely to play the lead role.

Robert Oppenheimer, American theoretical physicist, considered the 'father of the atomic bomb", who was pivotal in overseeing the development the destructive weapon.

It wasn't Barbie Vs Oppenheimer but Barbie + Oppenheimer for them. Nolan knew that this kind of interest would revive cinemas that had suffered beyond comprehension owing to a global pandemic. 'I think for those of us who care about movies, we've been really waiting to have a crowded marketplace again, and now it's here, and that's terrific," the director was quoted as saying by IGN.
