Ten years ago, I might have thought this was a good idea.
Now, I think it would be a waste of money.
Depp has gotten to the point where directors can't rein in his freakishness.
I agree. This would have been a win before he started Goldbluming or Caging or whatever other formerly-awesome-actor-that-has-become-such-a-parody-of-himself-his-name-is-now-an-adjective. Depp-ing is bad.
I'm sorry but there is no way that Heath Ledger can pull off the Joker. No way. Especially not after Nicholson.

not the same thing at all. Ledger was a young cat that hadn't hit his prime yet. and honestly nobody could have predicted that performance based on his prior work. Depp has passed his prime and become something of a parody of himself.
This is like the difference between good Howard Chaykin and bad Howard Chaykin.

Not that I want to see Russell Brand.
But I think he'd be more interesting.

Most-overused actor since Depp.
