Film Industry Shocka! Johnny Depp Plays Another Weirdo

You know what would be really novel? If Johnny Depp played someone normal. You know, like a regular guy. A dad. A car salesman. An accountant. Anything that doesn’t involve huge piles of black eyeliner, a bad Anna Wintour bob, razors as murder weapons, scissors, or shaving his head and acting like he’s taken LSD and PCP with a hit of heroin, would be a massive stretch for Mr. Depp.
We’re out of luck. He’s already signed up to be the Mad Hatter in an Alice in Wonderland flick, and the newest news coming across the wire is that Johnny boy is up to be the Riddler in the next Batman flick; Phillip Seymour Hoffman is being courted to be the Penguin (though methinks Danny Devito did a fine job in the last go-round). Of course, Angelina Jolie is clawing the walls to play Catwoman. That’s another one that’s unbelievably hard to imagine.

You are not keeping up with Depp’s movies. He just finished ” Public Enemies” as Dillinger, with short hair, no liner and 30’s clothes. He paid his dues and fans welcome the Mad Hatter role but I think his plate is too full to consider a supporting actor role in Batman 5 . Johnny rocks
