Fathom Events & Vertical Set U.S. Release For Cannes Drama ‘Jeanne Du Barry’ Starring Johnny Depp


Historical drama 'Jeanne du Barry' starring Johnny Depp has been set by Fathom Events and Vertical to hit the U.S. in May.

Her lover, the Comte du Barry (Melvil Poupaud), wishes to present her to King Louis XV (Depp) and orchestrates a meeting through the influential Duke of Richelieu (Pierre Richard). Making Jeanne his last official mistress, scandal erupts as no one at Court will accept a girl from the streets into their rarified world. Depp shot the pic near the time of his victory in his U.S. defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, having prior to that lost a UK libel suit against The Sun over its accusations of domestic abuse on his part.
