"The Tourist"

Johnny Depp plays a regular guy who travels across Europe in the hopes of getting over a broken heart, only to find himself ensnared by super spy Angelina Jolie in some crazy international intrigue.

This Trailer for Johnny Depp's "Rango" Looks Seriously Dope

Johnny Depp is Rango, a chameleon going through an identity crisis, who accidentally becomes the hero and then sheriff of a small desert town. Written and directed by "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Verbinski, the film comes out March 4.

Johnny Depp's forthcoming re-imagination has found a director who may bring to bear on the film more originality than Depp will know what to do with.

Edgar Wright ("Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," "Shaun of the Dead") has been hired to direct Depp in an adaptation of the "The Night Stalker," reported Deadline.

Back in the '70s Darren McGavin starred in a made-for-TV move about investigative reporter Carl Kolchak, who starts to believe that a serial killer the Vegas cops are after is actually a vampire. The "film" was so popular it spawned a sequel and eventually a series.

We've had our fill of Depp and his wasting of his own talent, but we loved Wright's "Scott Pilgrim," and his involvement in the project gives us hope. We just hope it doesn't distract him too much from "Ant Man" and "The World's End."
