Johnny Depp’s Co-Star Has A Five-Word Response For Anyone Still Down On The Pirates Star’s Comeback

Johnny Depp's Co-Star Has A Five-Word Response For Anyone Still Down On The Pirates Star's Comeback

As a seasoned gamer who has seen countless reboots and comebacks in the world of video games, I find myself intrigued by Johnny Depp’s recent return to the silver screen. Two years after the highly publicized defamation trial with Amber Heard, he’s back as a director for ‘Modi’.


This summer marks two years since the verdict was reached in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial, and both actors are now trying to move forward. Notably, Depp is moving forward by directing one of the movies set for release in 2024 (at least Italian theaters for now). As Depp and his cast promoted the film “Modi” this week at the San Sebastian Film Festival, one of the actresses in the movie spoke candidly about Depp’s return to acting.

Antonia Desplat is part of the star-studded cast along with Al Pacino and Stephen Graham for Johnny Depp’s long-awaited directorial debut titled Modi. During a conversation about the film at the festival in Gipuzkoa, Spain, Desplat was asked about Depp’s return to acting following his recent legal issues involving Amber Heard. Here is her response:

People need to move on.

During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Desplat expressed her strong backing for audiences providing Johnny Depp another opportunity following their collaboration on the film Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness. Co-star Riccardo Scamarcio (portraying Modi) also noted that Depp was “the most considerate, the kindest, and the sweetest individual I’ve ever worked alongside in my career.

As a passionate admirer, I’d rephrase it like this: I find myself immersed in a gripping tale that traces the footsteps of Bohemian Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani during his tumultuous 72-hour journey through war-ravaged Paris in 1916, evading the relentless pursuit of the authorities. In this captivating narrative, Christoph Waltz embodies Modi’s English lover, Beatrice Hastings. Fate brought Johnny Depp to this intriguing directorial venture when he received a call from Al Pacino, who proposed that Depp should direct this movie about Modigliani after initially planning to do so himself.

Recently, Depp stated, “When Pacino talks, you pay attention,” despite his initial skepticism about taking on another film directing role. With the debut of Modi this week, it’s drawn a range of opinions from critics so far. The Hollywood Reporter labeled it a “dull biopic,” while Variety described it as “supposedly lively” and Deadline found it “tiring” but “not the chaotic mess of self-indulgence that was widely anticipated.

As a gamer, I’ve just learned that Johnny Depp has stepped into another role after his recent high-profile court case with ex-wife Amber Heard. The movie is called “Jeanne du Barry,” where he portrayed King Louie XV. In the trial, Depp emerged victorious on three counts of defamation brought by Heard. However, it’s worth noting that in her countersuit, he was found guilty on one count.

After the premier of Modi at the San Sebastian Film Festival, it’s anticipated for its Italian release on December 5. Stay tuned to TopMob for updates on other upcoming Johnny Depp films!
