The worst thing possible would be for the Depp/DS film to be more of a gore fest than hoDS. Some blood and gore certainly has its place - especially in a vampire film - but something a bit more subtle than what was on display in hoDS is much more suited to DS.
That being said, though, there's a huge possibility that the new film will not be marketed to original fans or even to adults but to the same demographic that 99% of films are marketed to these days: 12 to 25-year-old males. I mean, look at how the original cut for Nicole Kidman's Invasion, which focused more on psychological horror, was rejected because there wasn't enough violence/explosions, and so they added that in reshoots (and in most critic's opinions, ruined the film). So, who knows what the Depp/DS film *might* ultimately end up like? The best we can probably hope for is that it will strike a happy medium...
