Those who have been with us for the last 9 years of course knew it: yesterday’s news about the Costume Test for Black Mass was our 2013 April Fools Joke. Thanks to Nadine for the great photoshop manipulation (who can find the original pic?), and remember, this is how it really could look. I hope, they don’t show the old Bulger in the movie!
Remember we had the Mad Hatter pic first?
Now we are happy to announce, that we got – exclusively – by our internal source – a first Costume test pic of Johnny as Whitey Bulger in Black Mass, the time when Whitey Bulger was arrested age 81. Unexpectedly, they did the costume test for the “old Bulger” before the Trancendence shooting even started. Maybe, because they will only have Johnny’s voice in Trancendence, or the character is also hair-less, so they already did/will do the next days some Bulger scenes? We don’t know any more details yet, but we hope we can provide you with more info very soon.
Here the pic:

As its title suggests, Son of Rogues Gallery isn’t the first overstuffed collection of what it dubs “Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys.” The first Rogues Gallery compilation, dreamt up by the Pirates of the Caribbean team of Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski, came out in 2006 with the help of an all-star cast; Nick Cave, Sting, Richard Thompson, Bryan Ferry, the actor John C. Reilly, Bono and countless others contributed to a dark, strange, profane and occasionally impenetrable glut of music.
The Album will be available February 19, 2013.
In a video interview that Alice Cooper gave last week, he reports that he’d just come from working with Johnny in a studio for two days.
Disney and Johnny Depp may be getting ready to set sail again as the Mouse House has tapped “Catch Me if You Can” scribe Jeff Nathanson to pen “Pirates of the Caribbean 5.”
Jerry Bruckheimer is producing with Depp set to return as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Plot details are unknown, and it’s not clear whether thesps from past installments, like Geoffrey Rush or Keira Knightley, would return to reprise their roles.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise has grossed more than $3.5 billion worldwide with the 2011 “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” grossing more than $1 billion worldwide.
Nathanson is also writing the script to the DreamWorks adventure “The 39 Clues.” He is repped by UTA and Ziffren Brittenham, Branca, Fischer, Gilbert-Lurie, Stiffelman & Cook.

Tarantino was on Charlie Rose recently and the talk show host asked about how he came to work with DiCaprio and then segued into another question: he was suprised that Tarantino’s never worked with actor Johnny Depp, who like DiCaprio, is one of the biggest name actors in the world. Maybe not so surprisingly, Tarantino said he and Depp have discussed working together in the past and hope to do so some time in the future.
“We would love to work together. We’ve talked about it for years,” Tarantino said of Depp. “Not that we get together and talk about it for years, but from time to time. We’re obviously fans of each other. It just needs to be the right character. I just need to write the right character that I think Johnny would be the right guy to do it with. And if he agrees, then we’ll do it. And then it’ll be magical. I haven’t written the perfect character for Johnny Depp as of yet. Maybe someday I will, maybe someday I won’t. We’ll see.”

Since it was first heard on an American ship in 1885, “Leaving of Liverpool” has been adopted several times by sailors and non-sailors alike (including Bob Dylan, Anita Carter, the Pogues and the Dubliners). Now, 127 years later, it is the first single off Hal Willner’s Son of Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys, a sequel to his 2006 compilation Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys.

The jokes can get pretty random on Family Guy (see: any episode), but this week there will be some high-powered star wattage powering one such gag: Johnny Depp. The film star makes his debut on the animated comedy by voicing one of his most memorable and sharpest characters from the big screen, Edward Scissorhands.
