"Now unencumbered by interruptions from his alter ego, Hyde can finally freely explore his dark tendencies with uninhibited abandon. The 2-volume graphic novel series finds Mr. Hyde in his new domain, the sewers beneath London, where he experiments on others, using the corrupting serum to create even more "Hydes." Each volume in the series will contain two chapters with over two hundred pages. Johnny Depp will have input on all aspects of the property and create the character of Hyde.
"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." Depp ponders. "It's surprising to me. And hopefully surprising to him. It's insane and beautiful to receive that trust from Ridley. A master."
"When Ridley Scott, with his instinct for world building, first saw the poster mockup and the concept pitch, understood the potential of Hyde, he said: "It's a no-brainer!"
"This is an incredible opportunity to build a studio-level project that goes directly from the creators to the audience, with no filters in between," said HYDE creator Negron.
