Whether he’s the captain of a pirate ship, a peculiar chocolate factory owner, a crazed barber shop demon, or a man with scissor hands, only the exceptional Johnny Depp can execute such madcap characters, and so well.
Presently, Johnny Depp is one of our top 10 actors in our ‘My Picks’ application. Those with J.D in their ‘My Picks’ will be alerted for such films as ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,’ ‘Blow,’ ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ ‘Sleepy Hollow‘ and more.
Depp has certainly built some what of a repute and auteur status. His range of roles has made him one of our most treasured actors and most loved (not to mention most handsome!)
But when will these off-the-wall roles ever end? Is there anything he can’t perform? Well here are a few things he’s been working on, and you can decide…
John Dillinger is his name, a bullet proof, charming 1930’s gangster, charismatic and untouchable (much like the gorgeous Depp himself!) Depp has been cast as one of the most notorious Chicago bank robbers of its time in the new true to life film ‘Public Enemies.’
This latest action thriller is an adaptation of Bryan Burrough’s ‘Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34.’ The film is apparently not exactly historically accurate with a few twists created for the narrative structure, but critics have rated it highly for its ‘charismatic Depp performance’ and ‘weird twilight zone between docu-style reality and gorgeous mythmaking.’
If you’re a fan of J.D and are looking forward to more alternative roles then watch out for the 4th instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean as there’s word of production in the pipeline. Captain Jack ahoy!
And Tim Burton’s weird and wonderful movie, ‘Alice in Wonderland’ is now in post-production and due for US and UK release in March 2010. It comprises of J.D playing the infamous ‘Mad Hatter.’ With this in mind, I don’t think Depp will ever cease to amaze us with his distinctive, atypical character roles.
