Jared Leto as the Next Joker

[Sephex]

I think to break the mold Depp needs to do a movie under Tim Burton's direction. Burton is also married to Helena Bonham Carter, so she can be in the movie, too. Depp plays an eccentric character that speaks odd and has silly mannerisms. He will have an adventurous job to give his character a bigger excuse to act silly. Inspectors (of the detective type) usually get in wacky scenarios, so we'll go with that. Carter plays what appears to he Depp's love interest at first, but eventually becomes the crazy villain.

The design and color scheme of the movie should be dark and spooky with a little vibrant colors thrown in here and there (but be sure to keep the creepiness factor up) so tons of merch can flood Hot Topic for a month or two. Depp and Carter have to have human-like qualities, but be something weird yet easily recognizable so audiences will feel comfortable with the movie. In this case, they are ghost type characters. The movie will be called Inspectre Ghoulfield.

The movie also needs some playful, bouncy music so Burton would be wise to use Danny Elfman to score the soundtrack. Unrelated, but remember the show Duckman? The ending credit theme sounds like what would happen if Danny Elfman tripped and fell down some stairs. Look it up!

The movie needs a tagline, too. Let's assume the studio goes with a summer release. They are nervous about the film competing with major franchises, hyped up films, and the plethora of CGI children film sequels, so this will be a late May/early June release. Anyway, after the preview has shown the allotted amount of Depp making goofy faces, physical comedy, and Carter acting like she snorted enough cocaine to make an elephant fart to the moon, the preview dude will say, "Coming this summer...BE APART OF THE SPECTRECAL!"

Cut me a f***ing check, Hollywood.

No matter how superficial moviemaking may seem to be from the outside, they generally kind of need a script written before they can greenlight anything. Hopefully that makes sense.
