Winnipegsun.com – Louis B. Hobson – Johnny Depp has bowed out of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the true story of magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffered a paralyzing stroke at age 43.
“Everybody wants Johnny these days. We couldn’t hold him to the project, so we’re in the process of casting a French actor to fill the role.
“Johnny really wanted the role but he won’t be available for a couple of years, and we couldn’t wait.”
