Prepare for a dark transformation! Johnny Depp is officially embracing his inner Mr. Hyde, signing on to Hyde, ” a brand-new graphic novel property based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novella “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” This exciting project comes from none other than Ridley Scott and the production company Mechanical Cake!
Hyde Unleashed: A New Chapter of Darkness
Depp, Scott, and Mechanical Cake will co-own this thrilling new property, which is set to launch later this year with a graphic novel series hitting shelves just in time for Halloween!
This new take on the iconic character will chronicle the life of Mr. Hyde after he has triumphed over his Dr. Jekyll alter ego. According to a release, the character will “freely explore his dark tendencies with uninhibited abandon.” Imagine that! Hyde will be hiding out in the sewers of London, using a sinister serum to transform other people into even more Hydes.
The character will share Johnny Depp’s likeness, and the actor will provide his input into every part of the property, especially the character of Hyde, a terrifying new venture for Depp and the team!
