Is it wrong that when I read this article from IMDB.com, the only thing I can think of is Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space?*

Ironically, Johnny Depp played the infamous director in his 1994 biopic. I'm intrigued. Part of me thinks that this can't end well, and another part of me thinks that CGI is amazing these days...
*Widely recognized as the Worst Movie of All Time** because of a lack of continuity (day turns into night into day in the span of 2 minutes in the same scene), stiff dialogue, and ridiculous plot, Plan 9 From Outer Space was Bela Lugosi's last film. He died in the middle of filming and, instead of re-shooting the whole movie, Ed Wood, the director, merely replaced Lugosi with a much younger, thinner actor. In order to camouflage that Lugosi was no longer in the film, Wood directed the replacement actor to hold his cape over his face throughout the movie. It did nothing to disguise that Lugosi was no longer in the movie.
**I think Plan 9 is not the worst movie of all time, but the most awesomely bad. It's a laugh riot and I heartily recommend it. Just don't see My Father the Hero, that is an unmitigated piece of crap. (Sorry Gerard Depardieu!)
