Projects by Martina

“When You’re Strange” – a story of The Doors (written and directed by Tom DiCillo) will be released at the LA Film Festival is Sunday, June 21.

Here’s a quote from DiCillo’s website:

May 20, 2009. Johnny Depp has recorded his narration. It sounds fantastic. He brings something very personal to the film. We are in the process now of cutting it into the picture. At least a week?s worth of work before it is all put together.

Verbinski turns PotC4 down.

Gore Verbinski turned down and changed his mind on directing PotC4. About that he informed Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer.

“I had a fantastic time bringing ‘Pirates’ to life, and I am eternally grateful to Jerry, Johnny and the rest of the creative and production team,” he said. “I’m looking forward to all of us crossing paths again in the future.”

He will still work together with Johnny on the movie Rango, with Johnny giving voice for the CG-character.

We don’t know yet who will direct PotC4, but we’ll post as soon as we know 🙂

PotC4 is at insiders rumoured to be filmed in Australia and New Zealand

Gilliam Resurrects ‘Man Who Killed Don Quixote’

Projects by Martina

The Thanksgiving weekend was mostly a dead zone, but we reported on some public comments Terry Gilliam made that week about returning to his doomed Don Quixote project, which was the subject of the documentary Lost in La Mancha. At the time, Gilliam said of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, “I was in some way relieved that it did fall apart, because I didn’t have the money to finish it.

“It’s a good thing it went down when it did because I would have got the blame for going over budget.”

There were other problems besides the budget, including injured actors, a disastrous flood, and more.

Empire reports that Gilliam is now hard at work revising the script for his unfinished film, collaborating with his Fear and Loathing writing partner, Tony Grisoni. “I re-read the greatest script ever written and realize we gotta get rewriting! I really wanna knock that one out in the next month or so.”

Because the film was never finished before, the original script was held up for years before the rights reverted back to Gilliam, who now says he has some “very different ideas” for the movie. The director would like to begin filming this year, according to Empire, but it’s all contingent on Johnny Depp’s schedule.

Projects by Martina

Good news!Variety reports that his production company bought the rights for the novel “In the Hand of Dante” and the other projects, The Rum Diary and Dark Shadows will also start to develop next year.Too bad that there is no mentioning of him being cast in “Shantaram”.

Johnny Depp books ‘Hand of Dante’
Actor’s Infinitum Nihil acquires rights to novel

Johnny Depp’s production company Infinitum Nihil has acquired screen rights to the Nick Tosches novel “In the Hand of Dante.” The novel will be developed as a potential star vehicle for Depp.

Depp will produce with his Infinitum Nihil partner Christi Dembrowski. The company, which has a first-look deal with Warner Bros. and Graham King’s GK Films, optioned the book with its own coin.

Book revolves around Dante’s masterwork “The Divine Comedy,” and tells parallel storylines involving Dante in 14th-century Italy as he tries to complete the work, and a contemporary storyline involving Tosches, who is asked to authenticate what might be Dante’s original manuscript. Depp would play Tosches. The novel was published in 2002.

Depp, who is playing the Mad Hatter in the Tim Burton-directed “Alice in Wonderland,” has a dance card that includes toplining another “Pirates of the Caribbean” film, “The Lone Ranger,” and voicing the title character in the Gore Verbinski-directed animated film “Rango.”

At the same time, his production company has become more ambitious, and is getting close to the starting line on its first movie.
