The comic book is written by Sam Sarkar, who is, probably not coincidentally, an exec at Infinitum Nihil. It’s not known whether Depp will have any role in the film beyond producer, as his availability lessened with the upcoming Lone Ranger and the inevitable Pirates of the Caribbean #’s 5-27.

I’m trying to find an angle here beyond “generic graphic novel adaptation,” but there doesn’t seem to be much to work with other than “Johnny Depp will produce,” which isn’t likely to blow the hair back of most moviegoers. He just doesn’t “wow” in a production capacity like Brian Grazer does. (THR)
