Johnny Depp Saddles Up To Ride With Pancho Villa
10 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
One upon a time there was a young actor named Johnny. Johnny was an actor who liked to take risks and star in off-beat films. The major studios were wary of Johnny and they liked to play with more popular actors – people like Tom. Then one day Johnny signed on to star in a film based on a Disney theme park ride. The film was a huge success and suddenly Johnny found himself starring in large budget films and accepting huge pay checks.
It now looks like Johnny Depp may have rediscovered his odd-ball roots as the star is now eyeing up a role as Pancho Villa alongside Salma Hayek in Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers.
Is Depp’s casting as the Mexican revolutionary and the title not strange enough for you? How about the fact the film will be filmed in Spanish?

Johnny Depp: Revolutionary
4 December 2009 4:28 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Johnny Depp has made a name for himself as an actor largely due to his ability to fully take on the character he’s playing, which adds a dimension of believability to his portrayal 0f the role. This talent should serve Depp beautifully in his next potential role, Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa.
While Depp hasn’t officially signed on to play the hero, he is in advanced talks to join director Emir Kusturica on the biopic Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers. This isn’t the first time the two have worked together, having joined forces on 1993’s Arizona Dream. Salma Hayek is also in talks for the film.
The script for Seven Friends is based off of a biographical novel about Pancho Villa, which tells how Villa and his friends were known for their fighting and robbing the rich also spent time dancing, partying and making love. »

Is Johnny Depp the right actor to play Mexican hero Pancho Villa?
4 December 2009 3:26 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Variety reported yesterday that Johnny Depp, one of our recently anointed Entertainers of the Decade, is in negotiations to star in Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers, a Spanish-language biopic of the Mexican revolutionary. Depp is a famous chameleon, able to slip in and out of distinct roles so well that I sometimes have difficulty realizing it’s him (call it a lack of Depp perception - ha!), but does he have it in him to play another nationality in another language? Especially a character as iconic as Villa? I have faith in the actor, »

Johnny Depp Goes From Jack Sparrow To Pancho Villa In New Biopic
4 December 2009 10:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Captain Jack Sparrow isn't the only daring adventurer in Johnny Depp's repertoire, as the actor plans on bringing his own unique spin to the historical Mexican revolutionary hero Pancho Villa.
According to Variety, Depp will star as Villa in an upcoming biopic titled "Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers," which is easily one of the longest, most terrific titles I've heard for a prominent film in the past couple of years.
Depp will share the screen with Salma Hayek, who is in "advanced talks" to star in "Pancho Villa," most likely as the titular woman with six fingers. Does that mean she only has six fingers total, or six fingers on one hand ala "The Princess Bride"? All six fingers are crossed for the latter.
The film comes courtesy of Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica and screenwriter Gordan Mihic, based on the novel "The Friends »

Johnny Depp as Pancho Villa?
4 December 2009 9:03 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
In some circles the name of this new Johnny Depp project is getting trashed, but I kind of like it: Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers. Variety indicates that Depp is in serious talks to star in the film, written and directed by Emir Kusturica, and he'll play the part en Espanol.
I think the title will probably be reduced to just Seven Friends of Pancho Villa because it has apparently secured the attention of The Sexiest Man Alive, who is also a major movie star. There's an opportunity to sell Depp as the revolutionary Mexican leader (and by sell, I mean tickets), so a cutesy title probably won't be allowed to stand in the way of that. »

Alice Goes Sci-Fi In A New Wonderland
4 December 2009 5:25 AM, PST | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
Alice seems to be a hot girl these days. We’re awaiting Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland”, which from early looks appears dependably Tim trippy. Johnny Depp plays the Mad Hatter in this film version so I won’t be missing it. But now we also have a television re-imagining courtesy of the SyFy network. The television version looks pretty Sci-Fi. It has a fantastic cast with Kathy Bates, Harry Dean Stanton, Colm Meaney, Andrew Lee Potts, Caterina Scorsone and Matt Frewer! Man I love Matt Frewer. Alice gets sucked back into Wonderland and this time Wonderland appears to be a modern police state instead of the previous mediveal mess. The new version has a kind of Prisoner vibe to it or at least that is what the below video preview feels like to me. Io9 has seen the rough edit and they are digging it. It airs this weekend. »

Sally Potter: 'There was no such thing as an easy ride'
4 December 2009 1:56 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
More familiar with life on the fringes of British cinema, director Sally Potter finds herself the subject of a BFI retrospective. But she has no interest in looking back
In the late 1980s, Sally Potter was scratching around for funding to make Orlando, the Virginia Woolf adaptation widely considered her finest film, as well as a formative moment in the career of its star, Tilda Swinton. Potter's friend, the visionary director Michael Powell, had secured her a 10-minute meeting with Martin Scorsese, in which she hoped to convince him to extend a helping hand to a fellow maverick.
"Tilda and I went with our producer to meet Scorsese in New York," says the 60-year-old Potter, seated at a table in her east London office. "We walked into his place and nearly fainted with admiration. He then proceeded to spend the entire 10 minutes talking about how incredibly difficult life was for »

Johnny Depp as Pancho Villa?

Johnny Depp is in advanced talks to star in a biopic focusing on Mexican bandit Pancho Villa. The somewhat hilariously titled Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers will lens in 2011, once Depp's other projects have cleared the way. According to Variety, the film will be shot in Spanish. You can't say Depp isn't up for a challenge, but considering his shaky mastery of accents (From Hell's mockney horror, anyone?) we're actually a little worried about this, but clearly he's confident enough to give it a...

Everyone’s favorite actor (at least the 6500 screaming girls at Comic-Con’s favorite) Johnny Depp is going from the lovable pirate Jack Sparrow to playing the revolutionary Poncho Villa, considerably one of the most challenging roles in his career.

Johnny Depp as Pancho Villa? Okay, but What about the Woman with Six Fingers?
3 December 2009 7:36 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
So, here’s another story about Johnny Depp in negotiations to star in another major movie. What’s so special about that? Johnny Depp stars in 40 movies a year, give or take a couple. This one is called “Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers”, and Depp is in talks to play the murdered real-life Mexican revolutionary hero Pancho Villa, though I’m more curious who is going to play the woman with six fingers of the title, and will she actually have six fingers? That’s just so … wow. A woman with six fingers. Imagine the possibilities. I bet she could load guns faster and everything. In any case, Depp is said to be in “advance talks” with Serbian director Emir Kusturica to star in “Pancho Villa”. Besides Depp in the title role, Mexican spitfire Salma Hayek is also in talks to co-star, one presumes »
