will work in Modigliania biographical drama about the Italian artist Amadeo Modigliani.
Based on the play of the same name by Dennis McIntyre and adapted for the screen by Jerzy and Mary Kromolowski, Modigliani takes place in Paris in 1916 and It is about the history of the painter and sculptor originally from Italy.
According to the film’s release, Modigliani, “Long considered a critical and commercial flop by himself, he sails through a turbulent and eventful 48 hours that will become a turning point in his life, ultimately cementing his reputation as a artistic legend”.
Al Pacino is producing the film alongside Barry Navidi and IN.2, the European arm of production company Infinitum Nihil, will back the project.
“It was a life of great difficulties, but finally a triumph: a universally human story that all viewers can relate to”, says Depp in a statement.
This project would be Johnny Depp’s latest effort to restart his career after his highly controversial libel trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
