Directed by Gore Verbinski, the action adventure stars Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.
The July 3 release is a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.

Only a few weeks before Johnny’s 50th birthday, a 505 million-year-old fossil with “scissor hand-like” claws has been named after the Johnny Depp.
Kooteninchela deppi (pronounced Koo-ten-ee-che-la depp-eye) was named by the researcher David Legg after Johnny because of his starring role as Edward Scissorhands.
Mr. Legg can be forgiven – who can evade Johnny’s impact?
“In truth, I am also a bit of a Depp fan and so what better way to honour the man than to immortalise him as an ancient creature that once roamed the sea?”

Though still a rumour, there is already an audition and casting information for “Into the woods”, being shot in the United Kingdom, read the announcement here for more info.
“Into The Woods” intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales such as from “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel,” “Cinderella”, etc., and follows them to explore the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. The plot tells the story of a baker and his wife who desperately want children and in attempt to lift a family curse, they decide to strike a deal with a Witch who cast the spell on them. She promises to give them a child if they can bring her the cape of Little Red Riding hood, the milky-white cow of Jack (of beanstalk fame), the slipper of Cinderella, and some of Rapunzel’s golden hair. In order to do so, the baker must travel into the dark and mysterious woods and battle a Giant (again of beanstalk fame) who threatens to destroy the entire village.

I was in attendance the other night at an event with Stephen Sondheim and he, at least, confirmed Johnny’s participation in Into the Woods as the wolf. He said rehearsals were to begin this summer with filming to begin this fall in London as mentioned here earlier.
We have yet to see, how this will work with Black Mass also waiting to be filmed.
