Johnny Depp’s Darkest Role Yet? The Actor Teams Up With Ridley Scott for a New Horror Movie
Depp and Scott promise a chilling, unforgettable journey into terror.
Johnny Depp’s comeback heats up with a chilling new horror project alongside legendary director Ridley Scott. Hyde reimagines the classic tale where Mr. Hyde has defeated Dr. Jekyll and now spreads chaos through London’s dark underworld.
As Variety reveals, the story plunges into the strange sewers, following Hyde as he experiments with a serum that creates more versions of himself. Depp’s likeness is even reflected in the character’s design, showing his deep creative involvement.
Based on a graphic novel by Jesse Negron and Joe Matsumoto, Hyde promises a raw, unfiltered horror experience. The novel drops this Halloween, just in time for fans craving something bold and unsettling.
Depp is no stranger to horror, having played iconic roles like Glen Lantz in A Nightmare on Elm Street and Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow. But Hyde lets him shape a legendary villain in a fresh, unexpected way.
The actor announced his excitement about collaborating with Ridley Scott on this unique project, praising the opportunity to bring a classic story to life under such a visionary director. He said:
"To build within the world of Robert Louis Stevenson’s masterful characters and to be welcomed into the vision of Ridley Scott… it’s surprising to me. And hopefully surprising to him. It’s insane and beautiful to receive that trust from Ridley. A master."
