An Admirers' Site Dedicated to Johnny Depp and His Work
It has been confirmed, that Johnny – as one of the Golden Globe winners from last year – will be one of the presenters at this year’s Golden Globes.
The winners of the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards will be announced on Sunday, January 11, 2009 at The Beverly Hilton with a live telecast airing on NBC at 8 – 11 p.m (EST).
Title: Public Enemies
Author: Chris Nashawaty
Publication: US – Entertainment Weekly
Issue: January 2009
YOU COULD SAY being an outlaw runs in Johnny Depp’s blood. After all, his grandfather ran moonshine on the back roads of Kentucky during Prohibition. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the actor jumped at the chance to play John Dillinger in Public Enemies. “Dillinger was one of those guys, like Charlie Chaplin and Evel Knievel, that I was fascinated with at a young age,” says Depp. ‘And because of my grandfather, the character was pretty easy for me to connect to. In a way this movie was a salute to him.”
Based on a book by Bryan Burrough, Enemies is a cat-and-mouse thriller about the early days of the FBI, and one agent’s pursuit of the Depression-era bank robber whose dizzy reign of stickups and near escapes ended in a hail of bullets outside of Chicago’s Biograph Theater in 1934. Dillinger lived fast, died young, and left not only a handsome corpse but a legacy as one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century.
Directed by Michael Mann (Heat, The Insider), and costarring Christian Bale as the dashing federal agent Melvin Purvis, Public Enemies might sound like a blood-soaked chapter of ancient history. But the film’s themes couldn’t be more timely: Dillinger was sticking up banks at a time when people weren’t exactly rooting for them.
We know, Johnny does not care about it. But don’t we admirers get a little smile on our faces when Johnny wins one of these votings with the thoughts “Do you see, magazine? People love Johnny Depp!”.
You can support those who do care with voting atVanity Fair for the Best Dressed Man and the Best Dressed Couple
And we cannot see Johnny having only 1/7 of that guy on first place, can we?
So voote!!

Johnny is on the first place in The Fandango Hot List: The Top 10 Sexiest Men in 2009 Movies,according to women and on the second,according to men. Of course,according to j-d.org,he is the eternal number one!
1. Johnny Depp: Public Enemies
Let’s face it: women love Johnny. Depp previously led Fandango’s 2007 Hot List for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and as long as he has a new movie coming out, he’ll be a hard man to beat. After a string of colorful roles where Depp mastered a variety of English accents, he finally gets to play a Midwesterner, legendary criminal John Dillinger, in the summer gangster epic Public Enemies. Depp fans are also curious to see how his brief performance will factor into Heath Ledger’s last movie, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, currently seeking an American distributor for a 2009 release. Depp-mania continues to rule the Internet, with recent announcements that he’ll star in a fourth Pirates movie, a Lone Ranger remake, and as the Mad Hatter, a role that he was born to play in Tim Burton’s live-action Alice in Wonderland, due in 2010. Now the only question that remains is this: when will Johnny get his long-overdue Oscar?
During a recent interview, Alan Rickman has let slip some more details about Tim Burton?s upcoming film Alice In Wonderland. Rickman will play the Caterpillar, starring alongside Burton regulars Johnny Depp and Helene Bonham Carter as well as the likes of Anne Hathaway, Michael Sheen and Crispin Glover.
Here?s what he had to say:
?I?m a voice, but I have been filmed because it?s my face who will be on the end of something that will be the caterpillar. So it?s the first time that they?ve mixed three disciplines, I suppose ? live action, animation, and stop motion. I think I?m part of the animation bit, and I saw Helena [Bonham-Carter] and Crispin Glover yesterday. They?re a mixture of the two, actually, because there?s Helena in a costume and in makeup but her head is going to be made three times bigger than it actually is on top of the costume.?
?I don?t know what it (the Caterpillar) looks like, so I?ve only done the first stage of it, which is them recording me saying these lines quite badly. Then, somewhere down the line, they?ll have animated it and I?ll redo it.?
Johnny-Depp.org has been honored to have been granted an exclusive interview with the director of Gonzo the film, Alex Gibney. This film is of course about Hunter Thompson, Johnny’s very close friend. If you have not seen the film yet since it was released only in limited place, you can now rent the DVD in the United States! The film will also be premiering across the globe on Friday December 19th, 2008. This is a must have for your collection and we hope that you will all see it and enjoy learning about a special individual in Johnny’s life.
