Johnny Depp, Ridley Scott, and Jesse Negro (Mechanical Cake) Innovation Forward
Ingenuity and creative brilliance form the foundation of the entertainment industry. It’s not always about building something new upon that foundation, but about reforming, reshaping, re-crafting, and innovating something that, though familiar, is an utterly new exploration with illimitable promise. This is the case with “Hyde,” a new venture to enter the entertainment sphere under the collaborative efforts of Johnny Depp, Ridley Scott, and Mechanical Cake.
Explored Terrain Gives Way to Innovative Discovery
Hyde is a most recognizable intellectual property born through the imagination of Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson’s work was a thriller, a dive into the dark psychology of humanity, the nexus of good and evil in one single person, that of Dr. Jekyll, who was somewhat of a scientist but very much an explorer, driven by a penchant to separate his darker side from that of the light. He sought a way to control his alter ego, Hyde. When the monster was unleashed, it was uncontrollable. It was a horrifying look at the parts of ourselves that we can’t always control or contain. It was a tale that inspired adaptations in film.
A New Direction
Enter the flipped narrative. When one thinks of adaptations or reworks, they think of the same material simply being remodeled, likely with subtler changes, perhaps in character or maybe even time. The flipped narrative is often a more innovative approach to building off a former concept. It is a much more creative idea to suppose that an original work might have been written with a different stroke of insight. This idea suggests considering how events might unfold if the narrative were flipped, as exemplified by Hyde. According to a press release, “Created by Jesse Negron, Hyde picks up Mr. Hyde’s story from the Robert Louis Stevenson novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and imagines a world where Mr. Hyde has defeated Jekyll.
Now unencumbered by interruptions from his alter ego, Hyde can finally freely explore his dark tendencies with uninhibited abandonment.
Innovative Minds Converge: Collaborative Force Behind “Hyde”
People consider the new property as a unique blended offering, building an “entertainment property” from the ground up. Remarkably, the talented minds of Jess Negron (Mechanical Cake), Ridley Scott, and Johnny Depp are fully committed and equally invested in the project. Given the talent of these three, the promise is inevitable. Depp, with his years immersed in the industry in various capacities; Scott, with his brilliant acclaim in filmmaking; and Negron (Mechanical Cake), known for its original and creative approach to entertainment. “Hyde, like everything Mechanical Cake does, is a bit off the rails, in a positive way,” the release notes. We execute at a whole other level.”
According to the release, Johnny Depp will have input into every aspect of the project and bear responsibility for the creation of the character “Hyde.” Jesse Negron, along with Joe Matsumoto, are credited as writers for the series. Ridley Scott, a master in world-building, is contributing his insight and stamp of excellence to the project.
Preview the Dark World of Hyde at the SDCC
Reportedly, at the San Diego Comic Con, fans will get their first experience with Hyde, and the creative team is enthralled by what awaits the convention-goers. As Negron noted in the release, “The booth takes you into the worlds of our graphic novel series, Modville and Hyde.” That is not all; attendees can expect a few thrilling extras.
