Calendar Events / Announcements '07 II / Re: Depp to play John Dillinger?

A miracle could happen, but most insiders feel an end to the writers' strike by year's end is wishful thinking - especially considering how this week's latest round of negotiations have collapsed in even more intense animosity than before. But even if that miracle were to happen - or if even a settlement were to be reached sometime in the early new year - the potential is still looming for an actors and/or directors strike when their contracts expire in June '08. So, to me it seems like Depp made a smart decision for himself to take on Public Enemies rather than to sit around doing nothing - and potentially to be doing nothing for quite some time to come. And barring that miracle, I don't see where taking it on should affect the development/production of the DS film at all when the other circumstances in Hollywood these days are factored in. Even without Public Enemies in the mix, heavens only knows when Shantarum and The Rum Diary might get made...
