Johnny Depp Says His Life Turned ‘Into a Soap Opera’ as He Debuts First Directorial Effort in 27 Years: It Was ‘Televised, in Fact’
Johnny Depp reflected on his career ahead of ‘Modi’s’ premiere at San Sebastian, saying it “turned into a soap opera.”
Depp was in a reflective mood, and most of his answers were framed in a historical context, calling his recent experience “infinitely more positive” than the one he went through helming “The Brave,” a film in which he also acted and which was dead on arrival with critics and audience when it was released more than a quarter-century ago. After receiving advice from his art dealer and friend, Leopold Zborowski (Stephen Graham), Modi risks everything for a meeting with American collector Maurice Gangnat (Al Pacino), who could transform him from starving artist to global megastar with a word. The review embargo for “Modi” was lifted just ahead of today’s press conference, and the few early reactions that have been published so far have been largely positive, expressing surprise at how much fun the writers had watching the film.
