Johnny Depp has united with 'The Martian' filmmaker Ridley Scott for a unique story, promising to stand out amid the remakes and sequels.

According to a Variety report, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star has signed on a new graphic novel property titled "Hyde," said to be based on the Robert Louis Stevenson novella, 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.'

The novel property has been co-owned by Depp, Scott, and the production company, Mechanical Cake. It will be launched later this year, beginning with a graphic novel series on Halloween.
