I have had a few emails asking me what project will Johnny Depp be working on next. The answer to that question is I don't know. So what is on the dance card at the moment for Johnny? Recently he finished filming the Rum Diary in Puerto Rico and some of you may know he is also the producer for this movie but due to Public Enemies his dance card is tied up this month travelling from country to country for Premieres and Interviews for the film. I suspect he will be working with Director Bruce Robinson on Post-Production of The Rum Diary after his publicity stint for PE is completed.
Dark Shadows which is also a production for Infinitum Nihil and Johnny being the producer and also writer along with John Augusts still needs to come together for filming so he probably has a bit of work to do. When will they start filming? well all I can tell you is its all in the hands of Burton and Alice. I did post a month back a post titled Dizzy Over Dark Shadows due to the lack of information coming from Warners Studios and Infinitum Nihil and I mentioned then that all the info we had on Dark Shadows was rather confusing. Here is a screenshot from www.myentertainmentworld.com, showing Dark Shadows filming summer 2009.
However due to Johnny's recent interview stating that they are looking at next year for filming it seems today that we still really do not have a direct start date. What about Pirates and The Lone Ranger? well we know The Lone Ranger is in pre-production and does have a script. With Pirates all we know is that they are working on the script now according to Bruckheimer. Personally I can't see them doing Pirates this year and according to IMDB The Lone Ranger will not start filming till after Pirates.
Lets not forget other productions by Johnny's production company which he is personally involved with although not playing a role he still has a huge amount of work to do and may possibly stick to working on those for the rest of this year. Finally remember he has a family which he probably would like to spend some time with. So i am guessing that Johnny Depp does indeed have a very full dance card and that's without the projects he is attached to and without the involvement of his production company.
