Johnny Depp to Play Whitey Bulger in Black Mass

It almost seems redundant after the Departed.

good to see Johnny Depp doing something different for once though.

 

This could be interesting. While it does have similarities to the Departed, I can see how they'd approach this differently, and Bulger evading the FBI for over a decade is an interesting story in itself. It should be a good film for Depp though.

 

I didn't know Plemons was on this. What happened to him?



Depp and Sienna Miller:

 

Is that...Joel Edgerton??

 

I don't see him in either picture

 

Who's the big guy on the beach?

 

Jesse Plemons.

 

Aka Todd aka Bad Matt Damon from Breaking Bad.

 

I like the Meth Damon name that someone coined better.

 

Steven Weintraub of Collider from CinemaCon.

It'd be nice to see Depp actually act again. Hopefully this is it.

 

Exactly my thoughts.

 

Ironically I think his last serious performance was another gangster, John Dillinger in Public Enemies.

 

Yeah

Didn't like that movie too much though. I was really hyped for it but it was boring as hell to me

 

He was in Transcendence, actually.

 

Yea but that tanked hard so it barely counts.

 

I liked it, and Tourist too

Okay, can't deny, Depp looks pretty badass right there.

 

Looks like a bad ass version of his character from fear and loathing to me there

 

EDIT: wrong thread

 

Damn.

I hope to finally see Depp give a damn about acting. He looks great here.

I hope RDJ would do the same.

 

Looks great. And agreed, I really hope Cooper got a performance out of him. I love Depp too much to keep seeing him fail. What's worse is that he's a great actor and not only has he had all these consecutive flops, his just isn't inspired anymore.
