If you didn't know, Heath Ledger was in the middle of filming a Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus when he died of an accidental overdose on January 22, 2008. To complete the film after Ledger's death, Jude Law, Colin Farrell, and Johnny Depp, volunteered to step in to take on different incarnations of Ledger's character.
Even with the buzz of Ledger's recent posthumus Oscar win, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the film is running into some issues finding a domestic distributor as some have described the movie as "too unusual to find a wide audience."
So, I know next to nothing about the film so far, but "too unusual" and "Johnny Depp" do sound right up my alley! You can read more about this developing story on the EW website.
You're right..."too unusual" sounds like any film that Depp has been in. Personally, I like unusual films - something to take the mind off the Paris Hilton's of the world. So, like you, I hope it does well!
