As a lifelong cinema enthusiast who has weathered many storms in the industry, I can certainly empathize with Johnny Depp‘s feelings of his life becoming a “soap opera.” The trials and tribulations he’s faced, especially those that have been splashed across headlines and screens, are undeniably overwhelming.
Johnny Depp’s first directorial effort in 27 years, Modì – Three Days on the Wing of Madness, makes its world premiere today at the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival in Spain, and ahead of its release, Depp took time to reflect on recent events that he says turned his life into a “soap opera.” Per Variety, the 61-year-old star didn’t specifically mention Amber Heard by name, but it’s clear that the highly-publicized trial that took place between the two was weighing heavily on his mind when he was asked at a press conference to compare his own experiences with those of Modi’s protagonist, Amedeo Modigliani.
Sure, we can say that I’ve been through a number of things here and there, but I’m alright.
In further discussion, Depp referred to his life as resembling a “daytime soap opera” due to his ongoing legal disputes with his ex-spouse. These conflicts have been extensively covered in various books, films, and documentaries, including a Tubi original movie and a Netflix docuseries. It’s clear that the trial brought an extraordinary amount of attention to Depp, beyond what one might typically expect, which is why the comparison to daytime drama seems fitting for his real-life struggles.
It seems that each of us has encountered several situations over time… Although your experiences might not have escalated to the level of a dramatic TV show, we all face and navigate through our personal journeys.
Will Johnny Depp Direct More Movies After Modi?
After the unfortunate incident with the filming of “The Brave” in 1997, Johnny Depp didn’t feel inclined to direct another movie. However, a discussion with Al Pacino sparked his interest in taking up the director’s role for “Modi“. Compared to his past experience, he found the process of making “Modi” much more enjoyable.
[Modi] gave me the opportunity to truly perceive and enjoy the fact that… essentially, I was able to act like a large child, and to grasp that when creating a movie, at the minimum, it should always be enjoyable.
The movie portrays three days in the life of Bohemian Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, nicknamed “Modì,” set against the backdrop of war-stricken Paris in 1916. This type of role seems perfectly suited to Depp, given his own bohemian inclinations and diverse interests in film, music, literature, and art. Despite enjoying the experience of making this biographical film, he doesn’t plan on revisiting such a project soon. However, during the press conference before the premiere of “Modi,” he expressed, “‘I’ll never do it again. Never again,’ but then quickly backtracked, saying, ‘I might. I’m sorry. I apologize. I might.’
As a passionate cinephile, I can’t help but express my excitement for Johnny Depp’s impending return to the silver screen! In Terry Gilliam’s upcoming masterpiece, “The Carnival at the End of Days,” Depp will be stepping into the enigmatic role of Satan. Keep an eye out for updates on this intriguing project, such as trailers and a U.S. release date, as they become available. Stay tuned for more on “Modi” as well!
