Infinitum Nihil, the production company from Oscar nominee Johnny Depp, has partnered with Yellow Bird Productions ("The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo") and Emmy-winning writer-producer Tom Fontana for a scripted series based on the plays of William Shakespeare, according to Deadline.com.

Randall Fontana will pen the project, which is described as "a modern take on the plays of The Bard, building on the existing characters and plots from several of [Shakespeare's] most notable plays."

Infinitum Nihil, which is run by Depp's sister Christi Dembrowski, will executive produce alongside Yellow Bird Productions and Tom Fontana.
