Deadline reports that Johnny Depp is set to star in Wes Anderson‘s next film, allowing Depp to expand his cinematic horizons from just pirate and Tim Burton movies.
Hot on the heels of his upcoming Moonrise Kingdom, Anderson is moving straight into his next feature, The Grand Budapest Hotel. With any luck Anderson can bring something interesting out of Depp who has been in somewhat of a career holding pattern in recent years, only appearing in bloated, Hollywood junk (The Rum Diary is an exception that, sadly, wasn’t very good).
Depp is currently shooting The Lone Ranger and will most likely squeeze this Anderson movie in before jumping into yet another Pirates Of The Caribbean instalment. Fingers crossed Anderson can remind us of Depp’s glory years.
Discuss: Are you over Johnny Depp or do you still enjoy his schtick?
