Less than a week after outlets reported Johnny Depp's first film role in three years, the actor has another project lined up - this time, behind the camera. On Aug. 15, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Depp is set to direct "Modigliani," a biographical drama about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. It will mark Depp's first time directing a movie in 25 years. He last directed himself and Marlon Brando in 1997's "The Brave," which marked his feature directorial debut.
"Modigliani," coproduced by Al Pacino and Barry Navidi, is based on writer Dennis McIntyre's three-act 1980 play of the same name. The story, which takes place in 1916, follows the life of the painter/sculptor, who, according to The Hollywood Reporter, "long considered by himself a critical and commercial failure, navigates a turbulent and eventful 48 hours that will become a turning point in his life, ultimately solidifying his reputation as an artistic legend.
