In Depp’s latest venture he plays a college professor who discovers that he is terminally ill. Determined to live out his remaining days as fully as possible, Richard embarks on a journey of reckless abandon fuelled by drinking, women, smoking, and a sharp tongue that spits insults every which way.
Directed by Wayne Roberts, the film is a natural choice for Johnny Depp who is no stranger to playing roles that spotlight a wild, animated character with a distinctive personality. From Captain Jack Sparrow to Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka to the Mad Hatter, Depp creates an electric vibrancy on the silver-screen.

As of right now the exact locations for filming are unknown but once he is spotted it will be sure to cause a stir. Be sure to mark your calendars for a chance to see Johnny Depp in the flesh this summer!
