The story – originally a comic book from Dark Horse – is a quest for the Holy Grail told as a murder mystery. It is set in the year 1933, in an alternate history Europe, where magic is real, feudalism persisted, and the Protestant Reformation was crushed by a still politically powerful Roman Catholic Church. Depp purchased the rights to the comic book back in 2006. What can I say, the dude has a lot of money – he also purchased an island a while back, right? But you know what he can’t buy? Your love.
