"In the exciting new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on news stands Friday, Johnny Depp opens up about his new role as legendary gangster John Dillinger". From the new 'Harry Potter' to 'Terminator Salvation' and 'Public Enemies,' Entertainment Weekly has a preview of the hottest movies to come in '09, and ET has an exclusive look!
I went to see the screening of Public Enemies, on Wednesday night. The new film by Micheal Mann starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. The movie is about the "public enemy era" of the 1930's during the great depression, and focuses on the famed gangster / bank robber John Dillinger, played by Depp, and the man sent to capture him Melvin Pervis, played by Bale. The movie also included a vague side story of how the FBI was formed into what it is today.
The excitement and anticipation watching Johnny filming Public Enemies in Chicago with Director Michael Mann, which stars Johnny as the infamous John Dillinger in Public Enemies, with an all star cast from Marion Cotillard to Giovanni Ribisi. The sad news of Heath Ledgers death saw Johnny along with Jude Law & Colin Farrell stepping in to complete Heaths final movie and donating their salary to his daughter Matilda.
“He’ll have to audition like everyone else!” Matt also added: “Johnny is very friendly and a good laugh.”Little Britian USA with Matt Lucas and David Walliams is available to watch on HBO, visit Little Britian USA Website
"Shantaram is shelved for the moment. The writers strike happened just a month before we were supposed to start work on Shantaram and we had to stall the project. I will be glad if the project is revived, but it is not really in my hands. Johnny Depp, who is the producer and actor of the film, has since taken up other projects. and is busy till 2011."
Denise Chamian (Hancock, Pirates of the Caribbean)is attached to cast Rango, an animated feature starring Johnny Depp as a household pet who goes on an adventure to discover his true self. The project marks a reunion for Depp, director Gore Verbinski, and screenwriter John Logan (Sweeney Todd). Shooting dates have not yet been announced.
A recent survey by Fandango shows Johnny topping the hot list for 2009. Female respondents chose "Public Enemies"' Johnny Depp as the sexiest man in 2009, male respondents said "Wolverine"'s Hugh Jackman deserves the honor with Johnny Depp coming in at No2.
“I’m a voice, but I have been filmed because it’s my face who will be on the end of something that will be the caterpillar. So it’s the first time that they’ve mixed three disciplines, I suppose — live action, animation, and stop motion. I think I’m part of the animation bit, and I saw Helena [Bonham-Carter] and Crispin Glover yesterday. They’re a mixture of the two, actually, because there’s Helena in a costume and in makeup but her head is going to be made three times bigger than it actually is on top of the costume.”
"Basically the movie is finished, apart from about 600 special effects shots, that are not quite there yet. We're in the final stages of development. Some of the effects have to be reshot because of Heath's passing. He's never computer-generated in the film, but certain other things have to be changed. We had to change the script in certain ways. It was also partly due to the schedules of Johnny [Depp], Colin [Farrell] and Jude [Law] – who were cast after Ledger's death to portray transformations of his character – because they were all involved in other projects and we had to shoot very fast. We literally had Johnny for a day-and-a-half and I had a lot of work to do."He also stated that he used every inch of film with Heath Ledger and managed to rewrite the script in a couple of days.
"It was a matter of making a decision and going for it. My original thought when we got the news about Heath was to close the movie down. But everybody around me said that would betray Heath and his work so it was suggested we get another actor to do the rest of the film. There is no way one actor can replace Heath, so I got several. Johnny, Colin and Jude all knew Heath and they all loved him. They said they would do whatever was necessary."
"The problem is that it has been tied up in legal. We finally managed to unravel it and got the script back and we are now rewriting it because having not seen it for seven years, what we thought was perfect isn't. I think this film has had the most publicity of any film before its release."

In an artlice on MTV's Movie Blog Anne was quoted as saying “I have a couple scenes with Johnny Depp,” she gushed. “I wish I could be so cool about it and say like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s just Johnny.’ But I am such a huge fan, I felt really embarressed. He would catch me staring at him and I would have to look up, but we were shooting on green screens so there was nothing to look at. I’d be like ‘Oh look, a bit more green wall. Did you notice that? No? Good.’”Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” is currently scheduled to hit theaters March 5, 2010. Anne has also been rumored to play along side Johnny Depp as Victoria Winters in the Upcoming Dark Shadows due to film next year. Not sure how reliable this is so we will just have to wait and see.
1. Johnny Depp Mr. Depp now claims the top spot on the IMDb's STARmeter for the fifth year in a row -- even though his biggest appearances of the year were on the red carpet of the Oscars (where he was nominated for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) and at the MTV Movie Awards, where he snagged trophies for both Sweeney Todd and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. And fans couldn't stop talking about his upcoming roles in Michael Mann's Public Enemies (as John Dillinger) and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (as the Mad Hatter), as well as salivating at the concept of him playing The Riddler in the next Batman flick. Check back with us next year to see if that comes to fruition -- we're sure he'll be somewhere at the top of this list again!

Thompson,” released November 18th 2008. She mentions one of the enjoyable aspect of this soundtrack is the excerpts of the documentary wedged between most the tracks.

Infinitum Nihil Blog has reported that Johnny's production company, Infinitum Nihil, has bought the screen rights to the modern-day mystery novel, In the Hand of Dante, by Nick Tosches. The book, published in 2002, revolves around the same theme of the afterlife and hell's fiery inferno as The Divine Comedy, with parallel storylines involving Dante in 14th-century Italy as he tries to complete the work, and a contemporary plot involving a fictionalised version of the author, named simply Tosches, who is asked to authenticate what might be Dante's original manuscript.
Johnny donates his portrait of Patti Smith to the Katine Christmas Wrapping Paper Project. The artwork, painted on a page of the Guardian by Johnny will be auctioned to the highest bidder.
