One of the most respected and critically acclaimed European directors, Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica, has been developing a project about Pancho Villa for many years now. It seems that he has finally managed to sign in Johnny Depp to take on the challenging leading role. The upcoming biopic "Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers" will also star Kusturica's close friend Salma Hayek.
The film will revolve around an early 20th Century bandit who became a guerrilla fighter and hero to the poor. The story will recount how Villa and his loyal companions had the time of their lives robbing from the rich, partying, dancing, drinking Tequila, and making love. The film will begin shooting sometime after 2011.
Emir Kusturica, who broke records winning the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival two times, has been a good friend with Depp since early 90's when Johnny starred in his movie "Arizona Dream".
Johnny Depp is cool, Selma Hayek is HOT. I'm interested. Still hope Depp's Dark Shadows film happens first, really looking forward to that...more vampire talk.
ReplyDeleteDepp has a lot of movies on his list before he starts with PANCHO VILLA, so you're probably safe :))
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see both Salma and Johnny together again..:)
ReplyDeleteyes, Salma is always a beautiful sight to behold :))
ReplyDeleteWe've seen Selma and Depp in something "similar", haven't we? One of Rodriguez's Desperado movies if I remember correctly. Depp was great as a rotten C.I.A. agent in that movie.
ReplyDeleteI remember Salma as Satanica Pandemonium in one of such movies :)
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp is great, very talented. Love that pic of him, lol, he fits the role.
ReplyDeleteHe is a southerner, like me, he just doesn't have the Dixie accent.

ReplyDeleteLol, yeah...Really thick...Almost like Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama. I suppose it is quite annoying to some people....
