You just gotta respect Johnny Depp. The guy is a huge talent, carries a style unmatched by most, and honestly carries a swagger that almost resembles humility more than arrogance. Very rare. Word running through the web is that Depp has decided to produce and star in a new project called Shantaram. Coming Soon describes the project this way:
Depp would play the novel’s narrator, a young Australian man who escapes from a prison Down Under and goes on to build a new life for himself in the slums of India before going to fight with insurgents in their struggle against the Russians in Afghanistan.
Ok, to me this sounds like a great idea. I have no idea how Depp finds the time. He’s already working on Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Corpse Bride and a couple of others. The man must like his work.
