What the possibilities boil down to, besides head spinning, is that there are projects with momentum that Depp has not signed for, and projects he has signed for that don't have a lot of momentum.
In other words, it's a very 2009 phenomenon brought on by a star's choosiness on the one hand and studios' increasing caution on the other. (In what might be an emerging mini-trend, Will Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio happen to find themselves in similar situations.)
The result is that Depp could face a year or longer without appearing on the big screen.
One could say that he could easily just take a vacation before the start of a rather hectic period when all of these movies start taking traction on production. It's not as if he needs the money! :)
Still, there are some very juicy projects here that may have a lot of already-established fan base (have you seen just how many cult-like "Dark Shadows" fans?) :)
Zz.
