JOHNNY-DEPP.org

Hey everyone. 🙂 I’d like to say that this is definately one of the best Johnny Depp communities that I have come across so far. Wonderful forum. I’ve been reading the topics for a while now but I finally decided to register and join you guys after my experience today.

Well, obviously…I adore Johnny Depp. I’ve loved him since I was a little girl, when I saw his movies Private Resort, Crybaby and Edward Scissorhands. I finally saw him in person today in Hollywood at the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory premiere. My best friend Amy and I got to the theater around 5:30 am and there were only about 7-10 other fans who were there already. I guess it’s safe to say that we were the first group of people there. Since we were there so early we got to watch the crew members set up for the premiere which was going to take place at 3:00 pm.

So anyway, we got lined up against the barricade to stake our spots (first row…front and center which we THOUGHT would have been a great spot, but not really eh ) and more and more fans started showing up around 9 am and random people and tourists also filled the street a couple hours later. We were all lined up across the street. We waited…and waited…and waited for HOURS. Finally, the stars showed up (the kids from the movie as well as Tim Burton…gotta love him!) Tim came across the street to greet the fans but he only stayed in one spot….basically,

NASSAU, Bahamas — Move over George Hamilton. Johnny Depp is dark. Mahogany dark, like a light-roast coffee bean in the sun. By JIM SLOTEK — Toronto Sun.

::In this excerpt Tim Burton and Johnny Depp talk to Jim Slotek about giving the Willy Wonka character a persona in their upcoming movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory::

Both Burton and Depp tell almost identical stories about how the Wonka characterization came about, inspired by, according to Depp, “guys like Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans and local guys like Uncle Al, and how odd it was the way they spoke, this bizarre musical rhythm and cadence to their speech pattern — ‘Good morning children …’

“I tested it on Lily-Rose to see if I was going in the right direction with the sound of this voice. A lot of times what happens is you come up with these ideas and you never get to try them until a read-through. So with Lily-Rose, I was talking to her one day. Many times we’ve played Barbies where she says, ‘Daddy, don’t use that voice.’ And what happened was we were playing and I started to use the Wonka voice, and she kind of lit up a little bit, like, ‘Where’s that coming from?’ And I thought, ‘Awright, I think I’m on the right track here.’ ”
