1905 Movie Network News According to foreign media reports, Johnny Depp will direct a film called "Modi". Recently, photos from the set of the film were exposed. Depp is leisurely directing the film on the set, and his co-stars are Hollywood A-list stars like Al Pacino.
Previously, Pacino had collaborated with Depp on "The Traitor". This time, he will play art collector Gunnart in the film. The film is a biopic of the famous Italian painter Amandio Modigliani, adapted from Dennis McIntyre's stage play "Modigliani". Italian actor Riccardo Camacho will play Modigliani, and French actor Pierre Niney will play French painter Maurice Utrillo. Modigliani (1884-1920) was an artist like Van Gogh: he was poor when he was alive, he was popular after his death, and he died suddenly at the age of 36. The movie "Modi" will intercept 48 hours of an important turning point in his life, and use this slice to peek into his life, love and career.
This is Depp's first directorial film after the divorce scandal. After the divorce, he went to Europe and starred in "The Countess du Barry". As the divorce settled, he himself was cleared of most charges. Depp has long been one of Hollywood's top male stars. In 2016, he ranked fifth among Forbes' top ten highest-paid actors in the world with an income of US$48 million. Throughout his career, he has received a total of 3 Oscar nominations, 9 Golden Globe nominations and a Golden Globe Award.
