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!

Johnny Visiting Dr. Keen in Beverly Hills

Dentist Dr. David Keen, D.D.S., M.S. in Beverly Hills, California, posted a personal image of himself standing holding a child and standing next to Johnny in his clinic on his Instagram account. Apparently, Johnny paid a visit to the doctor, as he wrote on March 07:

Always fun when Johnny Depp is in the office! @johnnydeppofficial

Just so you know, the Instagram profile linked is NOT Johnny. He does not use any social media platforms. We added the image to our photo gallery.

By the way, a question to our visitors: Are you actually interested in seeing personal posts such as this one? While there are no Johnny news around, I like to post more “random” stuff like this (provided that something is posted on social media or so). Let me know in the comments below if you’re interested in seeing personal stuff or not.

Johnny Officially Dropped from Pirates of the Caribbean Series

Unfortunately, the rumors have been confirmed: Johnny Depp will not return as Captain Jack Sparrow in the coming Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Johnny’s tenure as Captain Jack Sparrow has officially come to an end, following a Disney executive’s confirmation that the actor will no longer be a part of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

The studio’s production chief, Sean Bailey, was speaking about the previously announced reboot – set to be written by Deadpool‘s Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese – when he was asked whether the series could survive without Johnny.

Rather than deny the reports, Bailey told The Hollywood Reporter:

“We want to bring in a new energy and vitality. I love the [Pirates] movies, but part of the reason Paul and Rhett are so interesting is that we want to give it a kick in the pants. And that’s what I’ve tasked them with.”
