An Admirers' Site Dedicated to Johnny Depp and His Work
Contact Music – JOHNNY DEPP has missed out on the chance to star alongside ROLLING STONE KEITH RICHARDS, because the rocker’s schedule is too busy.
The CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY star had been looking forward to Richards making a cameo appearance as his dad in 2006’s PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST.
Depp says, ” It doesn’t look like it will happen now. Keith is on tour so it’s hard to fit into the timeframe we’re working to.”
LOS ANGELES – The Associated Press – The hands that were replaced with cutlery in “Edward Scissorhands” and wore gloves in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” are now immortalized in concrete.
Johnny Depp signed his name and placed his handprints and footprints in wet concrete in front of the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.
“So this is weird,” Deep said as hundreds of fans watched the ceremony Friday. “I mean, to say that this is overwhelming is probably the understatement of the millennium.”

“So this is weird,” Deep said before hundreds of fans who lined up to see the actor. “I mean, to say that this is overwhelming is probably the understatement of the millennium.”

Johnny Depp told SCI FI Wire that he never paid attention to the box-office performance of his films until his recent blockbuster hits Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
“I’ve learned to sort of condition myself to not have any expectations in terms of box office or result to that degree, because, as you all well know as well I do, that kind of thing escaped me for many, many years,” Depp said at a small press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival. “So it’s relatively a new experience to have more than a few people go and see my films. But it’s very exciting.”
The whole box-office game is foreign to him, Depp said in Toronto, where he is promoting his voice work in director Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. He said he called his agent recently to ask how Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was doing. “She said, ‘Yeah. It looks like it’s going to cross the $200 million mark domestically,’” he said. “I didn’t know what that meant, and I said, ‘Well, is that good?’ She said, ‘Yeah. It’s very good.
Johnny Depp told SCI FI Wire that he’s already having separation anxiety about leaving behind his Pirates of the Caribbean character, Captain Jack Sparrow, as he wraps the second and third films in the series.
“It’s weird, because sometimes separation is more emotional than others,” Depp said at an intimate press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival, where he was promoting Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. “I remember after [Edward] Scissorhands, and I really feel like a dunce having to say this, but it’s the truth, … I remember the last day of that movie, it had been 89 days or something, and I remember after we did the makeup, I looked into the mirror and thinking, ‘Well, this is it. This is the last time I’ll see you.’ So it becomes very emotional.”
Johnny Depp has said he didn’t set out to be ‘captain weird,’ but his affection for off-kilter, misfit roles seems to fit the Hollywood rebel perfectly – By Sherri Wood – Toronto Sun.
In Toronto at the Film Festival this week to promote his newest role in Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, the animated movie that opens today, Depp looked perfectly the oddball part. He channeled a style somewhere between a homeless beatnik thespian and Hunter S. Thompson in a haphazard outfit, complete with ragged, handmade accessories, fedora-like hat, bulky, dark rimmed glasses and gold teeth.
Despite his own eccentricities, Depp said the inspiration for his offbeat characters comes not from a hidden inner weird well — but from outside sources, specifically, other oddball celebs.
LOS ANGELES Zap2it.com – Downtown Toronto was still in the grip of premieres, parties and photographers midway through the city’s 30th annual film festival. Here’s the latest update of what the stars were up to when not giving interviews – By Hanh Nguyen.
Johnny Depp – Still sporting scraggly hair and gold-capped teeth for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequels, Depp made a quick stop by the Luxury Lounge at the Park Hyatt Hotel to pick up two pairs of sunglasses for his sister. Although his visit was brief, the “Corpse Bride” actor found time to sketch a picture of a bleeding heart that will be auctioned off for Katrina relief.
Others contributing to the celebrity sketches include: “Brothers Grimm” director Terry Gilliam, “X-Men’s” Iceman himself Shawn Ashmore, “Ice Princess” Michelle Trachtenberg and “CSI” wiseguy Eric Szmanda.
Just a few years ago, Tim Burton had to butt heads with studios to get them to agree to casting Johnny Depp as the lead. Everyone knew that Depp was a great actor. He had countless terrific performances to prove that, from Edward Scissorhands to What’s Eating Gilbert Grape to Donnie Brasco and Ed Wood. Box office draw was the title he had somehow avoided. All of that ended in the most unlikely circumstances, headlining a long-thought-dead genre, the pirate movie, and creating an endlessly entertaining character named Jack Sparrow – by Jeff Otto for IGN.
