TORONTO — Johnny Depp really had no intention of being in our faces this fall, not that all that many people would mind – Terry Lawson for Detroit Free Press.
After nearly two decades of mostly fine performances in what might have been considered specialized movies had not the actor’s presence made fans line up to see them, Depp, 42, almost accidentally became a box-office magnet with his portrayal of pithy pirate Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean” and a taciturn Willy Wonka in Tim Burton’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”
More Depp is now about to be served.
“Corpse Bride,” the animated film codirected by Tim Burton with Mike Johnson and starring Depp’s voice, opens nationwide today.
