Johnny Depp: TV Guide News

Ask FlickChick: Depp in Dark Shadows and Mystery Movies Identified! | Ask FlickChick | 3/26/2008
Ask FlickChick: What's up with Johnny Depp's Dark Shadows, and can you name these movies?Question: Is the Dark Shadows movie dead and, if not, is Johnny Depp still going to be in it? -- HCRDFlickChick: Dark Shadows, a joint project between Johnny Depp's Infinitum-Nihil production company and producer Graham King's GK Films, is still in development, but it doesn't look as though a lot has gone on since mid-2007. That's when they secured rights from the estate of Dan Curtis to base a movie on the 1966-1971 supernatural soap opera; Curtis developed the series, made two feature films based on it in the 1970s, and later went on to produce and direct a slew of supernatural films, mostly for TV. At this time, there's no screenwriter attached to the project, but it does have a distributor: Warner Bros. Dark Shadows was briefly and unsuccessfully revised as a 1990s TV series, but there is a loyal fan base who could make a theatrical film successful, if – and only if – it got the... read more
Heath Ledger's Final Film Resumes Shooting | Today's News: Our Take | 3/10/2008
The last film that Heath Ledger was working on before his death, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, is back in production in Vancouver, according to the Reporter. Director Terry Gilliam and producers halted production when Ledger died Jan. 22. Now that the film's back in action, producers have also explained how Ledger's part will be handled, following the addition of three new actors. In a statement, they said, "Since the format of the story allows for the preservation of his entire performance, at no point will Heath's work be modified or altered through the use of digital technology. Each of the parts played by Johnny [Depp], Colin [Farrell] and Jude [Law] is representative of the many aspects of the character that Heath was playing." — Anna DimondRelated:• Depp, Law and Farrell to Replace Ledger? read more
Depp, Law and Farrell to Replace Heath Ledger? | A Beautiful Fraud | 2/15/2008
From Bela Lugosi’s heart attack during Plan 9 from Outer Space and Natalie Wood’s drowning midway through Brainstorm to Brandon Lee’s fatal shooting on the set of The Crow, a number of productions have had to work around the unexpected death of a leading actor. Now it seems Terry Gilliam, the director of Heath Ledger’s last project, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, may have found a most creative way around his own tragic dilemma. According to Ain’t It Cool News, Ledger’s role in the film will now be played by not one but three alternating replacements: Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law.Not much is known about the plot of the film, but Ledger’s character has been described as a man in love with a young woman whose soul has been sold to the devil by her father, the traveling showman of the title, in exchange for eternal youth. No word yet on how the rather extreme differences in the four actors’ looks will be explained.If any one could... read more
Oscar Surprises, Part 2: Blanchett, Mortensen, Hal Holbrook and More! | Ask FlickChick | 1/22/2008
A surprising number of movies had to make do with single nominations in the major categories:Viggo Mortensen picked up a best-actor nom as an icy Russian Gangster in David Cronenberg's brutal thriller Eastern Promises, ditto Johnny Depp for Tim Burton's gothic adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Sentimental favorite Hal Holbrook, 82 (he'll be 83 by the time the ceremony takes place), took a best supporting actor nomination for Sean Penn's Into the Wild, based on Jon Krakauer's nonfiction account of a troubled young man's search for meaning that eventually takes him deep into the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. It was also ignored in all other major categories despite strong reviews for Penn's direction and adapted screenplay, as well as Emile Hirsch's performance in the lead role. Audiences failed to warm to the film. Much-loved veteran character actress Ruby Dee, 83, got the only nomination — for best-supporting actress... read more
