Johnny Depp returns to the big screen
The chameleonic and talented actor of 58 years of age, Johnny Depp, has returned to the news. This time, it was confirmed that he was hired to play a new movie in development.
The filming will explore the life of the former King Louis XV of France whom Depp will be responsible for embodying. Without a doubt, an excellent first for the interpreter after a long and tortuous legal process.
Johnny Depp vs. The Sun: The Cornerstone of Actor's Torment
Both the tabloid and the actor were the protagonists of a case that shocked the entertainment medium. The Sun released an article directly accusing Depp of mistreatment of his wife at the time, Amber Heard.
The wording was published in 2018, being enough for a legal process for defamation to be initiated.
A lawsuit that not only involved the newspaper, but also the publisher News Group Newspaper Ltd. Joint executive Dan Wootton.
Additionally, the text harshly criticized JK Rowling for allowing the actor's participation in Fantastic Animals, the new film from the Harry Potter universe. Likewise, it was based on past statements by Heard, who publicly denounced abuse by Depp in 2016.
In his defense, the former protagonist of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga attributed that they were false accusations. On the contrary, he pointed out that the person who was the victim of mistreatment and abuse turned out to be him.
However, the defense was shielded by up to 14 "substantial evidence" that confirmed the version of Amber Heard. Given this, the designated court found the truth of 12 of them, enough evidence to declare Depp guilty.
Consequences and recovery after the verdict
Although it was reported that the judge's decision would be appealed, no further information has been released in this regard. The truth is that the actor's fall after the verdict was resounding, meaning a dark outlook for him.
Johnny Depp is recognized for his great versatility and adaptability to any role. He enjoys a chameleon-like talent that catapulted him to fame with roles like Williy Wonka, Sweeney Todd, Jack Sparrow, and Scissorhands.
Until recently, he was responsible for the role of Gellert Grindelwald, the main antagonist of Fantastic Beasts.
The new saga set in the Harry Potter universe was forced to do without the actor at the express request of Warner Bros.
Quickly, Depp's prestige declined at breakneck speeds. His name in the United States became part of the slander, living away from future projects where he was taken into account. In fact, there is even speculation with his exclusion for "Pirates of the Caribbean 6".
On the other hand, he was also involved in the payment of debts and lawsuits associated with the loss of the case. And, when everything seemed to be the end, he finally managed to recover with a new opportunity in Europe, specifically in France.
What will your new movie consist of?
Far from the spotlight of Hollywood and the American country in general, Depp will return to the big screen. As already detailed, he will do so by playing King Louis XV of France.
For many it is an interesting project that will gain more value with the "signing" of the 58-year-old actor. They are still in pre-production, but filming is just about to start.
It will be directed by the director of French nationality Maiwenn Le Besco, who will take on the difficult responsibility of guiding Depp on his return.
However, first impressions allege that it will be a simple role and one in which the interpreter knows how to function excellently.
Obviously, the film will navigate through the biography of the happy King. A historical character who ruled for 59 years, characterized by his ups and downs, love and war conflicts.
To enhance the aesthetics, it was found that the shooting will be recorded in the original language, that is, French. A guideline that will not be difficult for Depp, since he has been residing in French territory for several years.
For now, we will have to wait to delve into the subject and witness other components such as the title of the film. The truth is that it will be an opportunity in a million for Depp to reconcile with the entertainment world.
