Michael Mann, Ronan Benett, Ann Bidermann(screenplay)

Bryan Burrough(book)

Music by: Elliot Goldenthal

Johnny Depp playing: John Dillinger

Plot Summary

Set in the 1930’s depression era, John Dillinger (played by Johnny Depp) and his gang rule the streets as they raid, pillage and plunder the banks of Chicago. Strangely, though, they are loved by the people, as they took revenge on the very organizations causing the darkness of their time. Mann (director) portrays a refreshing honesty in his film, where he follows the deeper stories of that day’s rock stars, folk hero’s and men of the people. Shot in digital, the audience experiences a closeness to the gangsters like never before, as they are taken on a rollercoaster ride of thrill, action, love, pain and triumph. This film, initiating a changed image of cinema, focusses on the humanity of the supposed villains and questions the true identity of crime and the meaning of victory, ironically at a time when J Edgar Hoover’s FBI program is just getting underway…

Vanity Fair, August 2009 – Mad About the Hatter

News by

Title: Mad About the Hatter

Author: Evgenia Peretz

Publication: Vanity Fair

Issue: August 2009

 

After the huge success of Batman {I989], Tim Burton might have gone the route of Hollywood action director, churning through every iconic American superhero. Instead, he has spent the last 20 years on his own candy-colored, cobweb-by path, inventing heartbreakingly peculiar heroes [Edward Scissorhands] and giving a macabre edge to children’s classics [Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]. It would seem inevitable that one day he’d take on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, last seen on film in the bland animated Disney version of 1951. Fifty-eight  years later, the Cheshire Cat and the Red Queen were begging to be reimagined by the living master of cheeky Goth.

It’s inevitable, also, that it would star, as the Mad Hatter, Johnny Depp, whose real-life passion for haberdashery could hardly be better documented. Now on their seventh collaboration, Depp and Burton both grew up as suburban outcasts and admit to speaking a language on set that no one else understands. The film also stars Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Burton’s partner, Helena Bonham Carter, as the Red Queen, Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts, and Mia Wasikowska {In Treatment Defiance} as Alice. The director has employed “’performance capture” technology and 3D—two more reasons it seems destined to be of a rare breed;

Biography by Lizzy

When Edward was wrapped Johnny began on a strange part of his life. He did a short cameo on the new Freddy’s Dead as a thank you for the start in his career . Immediately after this Winona and Johnny’s relationship ended and it ended publicly, which made it harder for Johnny. The press was very unkind and as usual, a lot of news was sread that was totally untrue. Johnny said about this time following in his life, “It was a really lonely time for me, I did feel very lost at times and confused about everything. I poisoned my self by drinking, smoking, I didn’t eat right, no sleep, lots of cigarettes?..I did feel very lost at times, confused about everything.” Another important quote of Johnny’s from that time, addresses his loneliness, ” Being lonely is scary, I’ve been lonely many times.” In the midst of his personal life problems, Johnny began to go back to work and wanted to show his ability and versatility by choosing a role that he felt could become a part of him.

Early Film Career

Biography by Lizzy

Johnny had taken to blowing off steam on the set and also in real life as he has said that “it wasn’t really rebellion, it was just feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and not really knowing where my place in life was” However he was labeled as the rebel and to those not acquainted with him, viewed on as the same. He has admitted to his down fall in his understanding of life as he said in one interview (rolling stone 2008. ) “I was a dumbass,” Around this time his relationship with Fenn faded out and he was seen with a couple other starlets including Jennifer Grey (from Dirty Dancing). There are plenty of stories about his actions on the set of 21 jump street including setting his underwear on fire and making up the script as he went along. He would throw out his own absurd ideas for the script, feeling this was one way to discount the scripts that he was uncomfortable with. Johnny was open about his feelings that the scripts be more “up to date” and dealing more with what the young people were experiencing in their lives at the time. Although these things may have been viewed by others as out in left field, some were deliberate attempts to be outrageous although some others were serious suggestions to bring Johnny’s ideas of important issues to light. He also was not happy about the fact that he was called upon by the show to speak about different subjects that he felt he had no authority to present to the public.

Becoming a Teen Idol

Biography by Lizzy

bio_early12When Johnny got the call for the television show 21 Jump Street, he immediately said no. Johnny didn’t want to sign a contract that would commit him for years and years. Also, he felt that coming from a greatly appreciated film like Platoon, gambling on a new untested television show was a chance he wasn’t willing to take. When asked about the initial call Johnny said, “When they called and ask me to sign onto the show, I said, No, no, no, no, no, no?..I didn’t want to sign some big contract that would bind me for years, so they got someone else to do it. They fired him after about a month and then they called me again and said, ‘Will you Please do it?’ My agents said that the normal lifespan of a television show is thirteen episodes, one season, if that. So I finally said ok.” Part of this decision was a chance at security and a real current income. The first step for the producers was to finish taping the pilot episode. Johnny would play detective Tom Hanson, a police officer who looked too young for the job. Hanson was looked down on by his fellow officers and had something to prove. He is offered a position in the Jump Street program, posing undercover to arrest and protect the young kids in the high schools. 21 Jump Street took off as a huge hit; as it came on the heels of the huge anti-drug campaigns in the mid 1980’s.
