“Waiting for the Barbarians” to Premiere at Venice Film Festival

“Waiting for the Barbarians” is to premiere at this month’s Venice Film Festival in Italy.

It’s said that for almost 20 years film-makers struggle to get investors interested in a film adaptation of Waiting for the Barbarians, JM Coetzee’s novel, dealing with a complex tale of immigration and integration.
Finally, the film, starring Mark Rylance, Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson, is receiving its world premiere at this month’s Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy.

All the actors were motivated by a desire to convey the “message” of the film, as well as explore its “artistic component,” said Andrea Iervolino, one of the producers.

“Another production company was trying to do this movie for 20 years. Then they proposed the idea … to me and Monika Bacardi, my business partner. We loved [it] right away because this movie, like the book, speaks about integration and immigration in a world of division,” Iervolino told the Observer.

“Now all governments try to push away immigration, so immigrants are not really welcome. But this movie will show how important and beautiful integration and immigration can be …

The Professor – New Stills + Promotional Images

New posters, promotional images and movie stills for The Professor have been released.

Edit: I intended to publish this post yesterday already along with the post about the personalized jacket by Sandersson for Johnny, but apparently it wasn’t published.

Well, as the title reveals, new posters, movie stills and promotional images for Johnny’s upcoming movie The Professor have been released, which can be found in our photo gallery, of course. The poster is the one for the Netherlands, that’y why it still contains the former movie title Richard Says Goodbye, which was changed to The Professor in the United States.

Cannes First Look: Johnny in “Minamata”

Exclusive Cannes First Look of Johnny as war photographer W. Eugene Smith in “Minatama”

Johnny Depp is joined by Japanese actress Minami (Battle Royale) in this exclusive still from Minamata, which was revealed exclusively in Cannes.

For those who don’t know yet, the drama – being directed by Andrew Levitas – sees Johnny as acclaimed war photographer W. Eugene Smith. Levitas directs from a screenplay by David K. Kessler, who adapted the book by Smith and his wife, Aileen Mioko Smith. Bill Nighy, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tadanobu Asano, Ryo Kase and Jun Kunimura also star.

The redemptive thriller sees Smith (played by Johnny) take on a powerful corporation responsible for poisoning the people of Minamata, Japan, in 1971. With the glory days of World War II far behind him, Smith has become a recluse, disconnected from society and his career. But an old friend and a commission from a Life magazine editor (Bill Nighy) convince him to journey back to Japan to expose a big story: the devastating annihilation of a coastal community.

Johnny is producing via his Infinitum Nihil banner,

[RUMORS] Johnny Spotted in Lacock for Fantastic Beasts 3

Johnny was spotted in Lacock, Wiltshire, England for Fantastic Beasts 3.

Apparently, the production of Fantastic Beasts 3 has begun. As the title already says, Johnny was spotted in Lacock, Wiltshire in England to reprise his role as Gellert Grindelwald in the third Fantastic Beasts installment.

Fantastic Beasts 3 is scheduled for release in November 2020, continuing the pattern of the first film (November 2016) and its sequel (November 2018) but nothing has been confirmed yet. There are two more sequels to come, which means 5 Fantastic Beasts movies in total. We don’t know yet whether Johnny will appear as Grindelwald in the fourth and fifth movie though.

As the headline says, I marked this post as a rumor since it has NOT been confirmed whether Johnny’s stay in Lacock is connected to the start of production of Fantastic Beasts 3 or whether he was really seen at all. The news website reporting his appearances is Wiltshire Times.

New Sneak Peek of Johnny in “Minamata”

As the title says, a new image of Johnny as W. Eugene Smith behind the scenes of Minamata has been posted by photographer Greg Williams on his official Instagram account. The caption of the photo said:

#johnnydepp having wrapped for the day on the film #minamata in #montenegro where he plays the greatest photo essayist of all time (in my humble opinion) #WEugeneSmith while documenting the mercury poisoning of the Japanese city in the 70s
Wonderful Eugene Smith
Having finished the day shooting a scene in an outdoor bath he was driven home in a dressing gown to keep him dry and warm, see the water drops still in his face
Shot in the back of a car and lit with the shitty L.E.D. light you get above a car door, impossibly slow shutter speed, his prosthetic beard still on

We added the photo of Johnny to our photo gallery. Enjoy!
