A friend of mine said he heard the Depp DS project is no more, anyone know any more about this??

No offense to your friend, but he probably read one or more of the ridiculous reports that were posted on a few Web sites a few weeks ago. It all started with a misleading report in Entertainment Weekly:

The October 10, 2008 issue (#1015) of Entertainment Weekly states on page 11

that was subsequently dispelled by an interview with Tim Burton:

Tim Burton did with a blogger from the LA Times

and a personal encounter with Barbara Steele:

I attended the Chillertheatre convention in New Jersey today and met Barbara Steele

I have no idea if this photo is real. Somehow I doubt it is (it seems more like some DS fan tried his/her hand at image manipulation.  [hall2_wink])  But IF it is, how appropriate would the tattoo be for the future Barnabas?  [hall2_smiley]

The photo is definitely a fake.  Johnny does indeed have a number of tattoos, and the ones you can see on his arms in that picture are real.  But the photo was taken in 1995 by William Maser, when he had no tattoos on his chest:
http://www.deppography.com/Depp/item.php?q=1995-00-00-PS-Maser_04911

Now, he does have one tattoo on his chest- in 1999, he got one of his daughter's name, Lily-Rose, as can be seen in this photo that was used for the cover of Rolling Stone earlier this year:
http://www.deppography.com/Depp/item.php?q=2008-01-00-PS-Rolston_01784

but no "Fangxious" :)

I do wish we would hear some word about the status of DS, but I suspect there won't be anything newsworthy for them to announce until the script is completed.  So, I will cross my fingers for that to happen soon!

The Depp/DS film is referenced as part of a Twilight article and how vampires in general are currently competing "to get their fangs into fans."

MB that was a very nice article you posted above this one.

John August answered a question at his website on how long it should take a script to be written. In part he said:
"I’m hesitant to give a firm number for how many weeks it should take to write a script. Every project is different. Big Fish took me the better part of four months, while Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was three weeks. But part of the reason Charlie was only three weeks was because that’s all the time there was. There was already a release date, and sets were being built." You can see the entire article at his website  www.johnaugust.com

I lost track of time but I still say the DS script has been completed months ago although I could be easily wrong.

That was a good article however, I think it's great Madonna was a fan.  Like her or not, no one can deny the ideliable mark she has made on POP CULTURE, let alone the music scene.    Seeing her live just proved to me that I doubt I will ever see this kind of "ARTIST" in my lifetime again.  [santa_grin]

Some good news and some bad news regarding the DS film.  The good news is that a new Variety article continues to assure us that the film is still on tap, and confirms (?) Johnny in the role of Barnabas.  The bad news is that the Variety article announces yet another upcoming project for Johnny's production company, in which Johnny will likely star:  "The Hand Of Dante."  Further bad news (for DS fans anyway, not for Depp fans) is that the article confirms that The Rum Diary will start filming in March.  This follows the voice work that Johnny is doing in January for the animated film Rango.  So in other words, there's still a lot on Johnny's plate, and although DS is mentioned, there is no new information on it.  But I'm very pleased that it's still being mentioned.  And remember that it still has a 16 month lead on The Hand Of Dante, which will need to now find someone to write the script, yadda-yadda. 

See the article:

I think the really bad news is that Shantaram is officially back on Depp's schedule (there had been some speculation in the media that the project was on shaky grounds) and that is going to be a very long shoot. It's probable that Depp is going to film Shantaram prior to DS. I am not that excited as this article's writer:

Although Shantaram is mentioned in the Variety article, I noticed that unlike DS, there was no mention of Johnny starring in Shantaram (nor the other projects that were listed).  Of course, I guess we won't know for sure until/unless something is announced, but it's possible that Johnny is no longer interested in starring in the movie, only in producing it.  It would certainly be a huge commitment compared with other potential projects, and now Mumbai is not a safe place to be right now.  So I still take the article (cautiously) as a good sign with regard to DS.

Woo-hoo, the man has spoken!!   [santa_smiley]   [santa_thumb]   [santa_cheesy]  The timing seems just right- just after The Rum Diary.  And what's best is that Zanuck volunteered the information.  Very cool!!!  Now we can start speculating about the story, the characters, and the cast!

It'll be nice to see a printed news item as confirmation, but Richard Zanuck's word is about as good as it gets!!   Boy, this is really starting to hit me now, and I'm really excited!!
