To: Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company

This petition is in regard to the erratic and unprofessional United States release of The Libertine.

By signing this petition, Johnny Depp fans worldwide are requesting that The Weinstein Company stop advertising dates of release and then pulling them. We are disgusted, disappointed and angry at the way this movie has been handled. You have insulted Johnny Depp and his fellow crew members that worked so hard in making this film.

We feel your business decisions used in the management of The Libertine, not unlike your other distributions of previous Johnny Depp films; show an appalling lack of respect for him and his exemplary talent.

Please do your duty as a movie distributor, fulfill your obligations to us and all concerned and release the Libertine in the United States NOW.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

In a truly exciting moment for Depp fans, last night Johnny was once again crowned the People’s Choice Award as Favorite Male Movie Star for the second year in a row. Robust cheering and clapping in the Shrine Auditorium welcomed Johnny’s acceptance speech via satellite transmission. Depp began his speech with light, witty chatter. “I’m on a distant tropical location shooting 23, 23 1/2 hours a day, surrounded by wild animals and studio executives.”

Johnny then thanked his adoring fans. “We’re all very, very lucky to have such great bosses, which is you, the people. So…I’ll just say thanks again to the people and to my family, who are in fact, people, too. …I may weep, I may break into song; I don’t know what’s gonna happen. But you’ve made me very, very proud, so thank you, thank you very, very, much! Take care!”
