‘Modi’ Producer Barry Navidi on His Journey From Tehran to Tinseltown and Johnny Depp’s Comeback: ‘It’s Just a Matter of Time’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Producer Barry Navidi's journey from Iran to Hollywood, collaborating with Brando, Pacino and Depp, continues with 'Modi' premiering at San Sebastian.
For producer Barry Navidi, Johnny Depp ‘s directorial comeback “ Modi, Three Days on the Wings of Madness” marks a full-circle moment in an unconventional career. Navidi’s early career trajectory took an unexpected turn with “Divine Rapture,” a 1995 production starring Brando, Depp, Debra Winger and John Hurt, which collapsed mid-shoot in Ballycotton, Ireland because of a downturn in the fortunes of the financing company. As “Modi” readies for its festival debut, Navidi is wrapping production on another long-gestating project: “Lear Rex,” starring Pacino in the title role.
