Could Johnny Depp be taking some time off?
July 21, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
After a whirlwind press tour for "Public Enemies" and the upcoming "Alice in Wonderland," could Johnny Depp be looking at some time off? Although he has numerous film projects in the works, none of them are in a go-mode at this writing. A few that are in the works:
"The Incredible Mr. Limpet" – Producers are interested in Depp for the title role of Kevin Lima’s remake, but he hasn’t signed on and production won’t begin until next year.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 4" – With Gore Verbinski no longer in the director’s chair, this project has slowed to a crawl. Disney is looking for a new director, and with a smaller budget, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom likely won’t be back.
"The Lone Ranger" – Depp is attached to play Tonto, but the title role still needs to be cast, and no director has signed on yet.
"Dark Shadows" – This Depp-Tim Burton collaboration is back-burnered while Burton finishes work on "Alice in Wonderland," which opens in March, 2010.
Depp is also starring in the Hunter S. Thompson adaptation of "The Rum Diary" and has a supporting role in "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus." Both are scheduled for a U.S. release sometime in 2010.
Still, it will be a while before we see Johnny Depp on screen again. That’s a sad thought. Then again, he could probably use some time off to chill on his boat in the Caribbean.
