Black Mass is a 2015 American crime film directed by Scott Cooper and written by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth, based on the 2001 book Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. The film stars Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Bacon, Jesse Plemons, Peter Sarsgaard, Rory Cochrane, Adam Scott, Dakota Johnson, and Corey Stoll.

The film follows the criminal career of infamous Irish-American mobster Whitey Bulger (Depp). Principal photography of the film began on May 19, 2014 in Boston, and wrapped up on August 1, 2014. The film had its world premiere at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival,[7] and was released by Warner Bros. worldwide on September 18, 2015.[8]

Plot

The film depicts the true story of James "Whitey" Bulger, a prominent leader of organized crime in South Boston. Whitey is the brother of Massachusetts State Senator William "Billy" Bulger. Following a string of violent acts, he becomes an FBI informant for 30 years in order to take down a Mafia family invading his turf. The film focuses on the period of the late 1970s and early 1980s, as Whitey was solidifying his position as leader of the Irish-American Winter Hill Gang.

Production

Development

The idea for a film adaptation of Black Mass: The Irish Mob, The FBI and a Devil’s Deal has garnered interest intermittently since 2000. Even before its published release, the book's film rights had already been sold to Miramax when Harvey Weinstein was still part of the company. According to co-author Dick Lehr, Weinstein had never exercised the film option for unknown reasons, and the rights presumably expired.[17][18] At one point, shortly afterwards in 2002, filmmaker Robert Greenwald had planned to adapt Black Mass into a 4-hour miniseries for USA Network, but the project was never developed.[19] Eventually in 2006, film producer Brian Oliver, head of Arthaus Pictures at the time, acquired the film rights for Black Mass, and set to produce the adaptation with CP Production partners Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters.[18][20]

After Oliver's acquisition, Jim Sheridan was attached to direct the film. In 2009, Sheridan had finished writing a draft of the adapted screenplay with Nye Heron, and principal photography for the script was reportedly scheduled to begin in April 2010.[21][22] However, in December 2010, while discussing the troubled production of his 2010 film Dream House, Sheridan hinted at his detachment from the Black Mass project.[23] Brian Oliver's then-newly founded Cross Creek Pictures film production company took over financing for Black Mass, and Sheridan's exit was confirmed when Russell Gewirtz was hired in 2011 to write another draft for the adaptation, and Barry Levinson was attached to direct instead.[18][24][25]

Barry Levinson was set to direct a film based on Whitey Bulger, the Boston crime boss.[24] The film Black Mass (script by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth), is based on the book by Boston Globe reporters Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill, and is said to be the "true story of Whitey Bulger, FBI agent John Connolly and the FBI's witness protection program that was created by J. Edgar Hoover."[26]

Later in January 2014 Cooper attached to re-write and direct the film.[27] On February 27, 2014, Warner Bros. picked the film's worldwide distribution rights eyeing for an October 2015 release, and the studio will also co-finance the film with Cross Creek.[28]

Casting

Johnny Depp's involvement with Black Mass dates back to February 2013 when he was attached to star in the film, while Barry Levinson was still slated to direct and principal photography was scheduled to begin in May 2013. Depp briefly exited the project shortly after its sale at the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival because of a salary dispute with Cross Creek Pictures. He later rejoined, however, at around the same time Scott Cooper was attached to replace Levinson as director, and his signing for the film was made official in February 2014.[27][29][30][31][32] Jesse Plemons and Juno Temple joined the cast to play as Kevin Weeks (a cohort of Bulger) and Deborah Hussey, one of Bulger's victims, respectively, during talks in April 2014. Plemons had reportedly prepared for his role by hiring a dialect coach and studying video of the actual Kevin Weeks.[33][34]

Benedict Cumberbatch replaced Guy Pearce as William "Billy" Bulger on May 22, 2014.[9] On June 10, it was announced that Jeremy Strong would be starring the film.[16] On June 14, James Russo joined the cast of the film to play Scott Garriola, an FBI agent, one of the agents who took down Bulger.[14] On June 26, Kevin Bacon was added to the cast to play Charles McGuire, the FBI Special Agent in charge of the Boston field office and John Connelly's boss.[11] On June 1, David Harbour was added to the cast of the film to star as John Morris, a corrupt FBI agent along with fellow FBI agent John Connolly.[13]

The roles of John Connolly - who was Whitey Bulger's FBI handler - and his first wife Marianne were filled by Joel Edgerton and Julianne Nicholson, respectively. Scott Cooper chose Nicholson for the part after her performance as Sally in Sam Shepard's off-Broadway play Heartless (before Claire van der Boom succeeded her for the play's two-week extension). Edgerton developed his portrayal of John Connolly by studying past footage of the FBI agent before his imprisonment, some of which include his appearances in talk shows and in courtrooms. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Edgerton revealed that he declined trying to meet with the actual John Connolly, reasoning that Connolly "has one version of events and the film has a different version".[35][36][37][38]

In preparing for his role, Depp similarly studied surveillance and police audio footage involving Bulger. The actor was adamant in depicting the Boston gang leader's criminal and personal life as would be ultimately portrayed in the film. To achieve that, Depp had attempted to meet with Bulger himself, but was declined a meeting and instead consulted Jay Carney, Bulger's attorney. Carney appeared on the set during filming a few times to provide feedback on Depp's performance.[37][39][40][41] Sienna Miller was cast and filmed scenes as Catherine Greig, but her scenes ended up getting cut from the film due to "narrative choices".[42][43]

Filming

Principal photography commenced on May 19, 2014 in Boston;[28][44] actors were spotted filming scenes in Dorchester.[45] On May 23, some shots were also filmed at Polish American Club (altered to recreate the Triple O's Lounge, Whitey's infamous South Boston hangout), on Cambridge Street in Cambridge.[46][47] On May 27, the filming was taking place in East Boston where Johnny Depp and Jesse Plemons were spotted together on the set.[48] Next day on May 28, Joel Edgerton was spotted in the shape of John Connolly during the filming of a scene on Silver Street in South Boston.[49][50] On June 4, Depp was spotted in Lynn during the recreation of 1982 murders of Brian Halloran and Michael Donahue by Bulger.[51] On June 6–7, Depp was spotted filming scenes at Copley Square in Boston.[52]

On June 9, Depp's 51st birthday, he was spotted filming scenes on location in Quincy,[53][54] where actress Johnson was spotted in Back Bay during the past few days; she is playing Whitey Bulger's longtime former girlfriend, Lindsey Cyr.[55] On June 11, shooting was underway in Lynn, where the crew was filming scenes in which Bulger and Stephen Flemmi pick up a prostitute named Deborah Hussey (played by Juno Temple) from the police station, Temple was spotted on the set.[56][57] On June 16, Depp and Plemons were spotted on the set of the film in South Boston.[58]

On June 20, news posted some photos from the set of the film, which features some classic cars from the film set in South Boston.[59] On June 23, Cumberbatch and Depp were spotted during the re-creation of Saint Patrick's Day parade scenes in Lynn.[60][61] On June 24, film was shot at the Harvard Club in Boston.[62] On June 26, Cumberbatch was spotted with crew while filming around Ashmont Grill in Dorchester.[63] On June 29, the pavement outside South Boston High School had graffiti readings "Stop Forced Busing" and "Press Print the Truth."[64]

On July 2, Depp and Cumberbatch both were spotted together filming some scenes in Boston.[65] On July 7–8, the filming was set to take place on Gilson road in Quincy.[66] A four-story building on 6 Gilson Road was transformed to resemble the Princess Eugenia apartments in Santa Monica, California where FBI agents arrested Bulger on June 22, 2011. Arrest scenes were filmed there on July 7 and 8, Sienna Miller was spotted dressed as Catherine Greig.[67][68] From July 8–10, they filmed scenes on Revere Beach for the film so that portion of Revere Beach remained closed, and July 11–12, Revere Beach Boulevard was remained closed for shooting.[69] Revere Beach was transformed into Miami Beach, Florida, as live palm trees had been planted in the sand and a pizza restaurant was transformed into a Cuban cafe on Revere Beach Boulevard across the street from Beach.[70] Depp as Whitey Bulger and Miller as Catherine Greig were spotted on the Black Mass set on the Revere Beach on July 10, 2014.[71]

On July 15, Cumberbatch wrapped filming for his part in the film in Boston.[72] On July 21, Depp filmed some scenes for the film at the former Anthony's Hawthorne restaurant, located at Oxford Street and Central Avenue in Lynn.[73] Depp's wife Amber Heard visited Depp on the set of the film on July 21, the last day of filming for Depp's role.[74]

Director Cooper told The Boston Globe that filming had still to be taken place for two more weeks in Boston, and focus on the FBI's role in the Bulger story.[74] On July 25, Kevin Bacon was spotted in Boston for the filming of some remaining scenes for the film. Depp had reportedly completed his role while some actors and crew were filming last scenes.[75] According to The Boston Globe, the filming for Black Mass wrapped up on Friday August 1, 2014, in Boston.[76][77]

Release

On June 30, 2014, Warner Bros. set the film for a September 18, 2015 worldwide release.[8] It was selected to be shown in the "Fuori Concorso" section of the Venice Film Festival. It was also shown at Telluride Film Festival the next day, and in the Special Presentation section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.[78]

Marketing

On April 23, 2015, the first trailer for the film was released, followed by a second trailer on May 22.[79][80] A third trailer was released on July 30.[81]

Reception

Critical response

Black Mass has received generally positive reviews, with particular praise aimed at Johnny Depp's performance. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a rating of 76%, based on 143 reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Black Mass spins a gripping yarn out of its fact-based story – and leaves audiences with one of Johnny Depp's most compelling performances in years."[82] On Metacritic, the film has a rating of 68 out of 100, based on 39 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[83]

Johnny Depp's portrayal of Whitey Bulger received critical acclaim, with many critics applauding it as one of his best performances to date.[84][85][86] Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy, in addition to praising the film, hailed Depp's performance as "fully convincing and frightening", arguing it to be "very welcome at this point in his career and one of his best."[84]

Similarly, Indie Wire's Eric Kohn praised the cast, but highlighted Depp's performance and Cooper's directorial efforts to depict "the haunting legacy of Bulger's criminal deeds, and the lingering sense that no justice can erase their impact."[87] Admiring Black Mass as an "elegantly understated crime drama", Variety's Scott Foundas positively compared Depp's performance in the film to his earlier roles with Tim Burton.[85]

TheWrap's Alonso Duralde praised Depp's performance in Black Mass, but was less positive towards the film's pacing and short onscreen appearances of some supporting characters.[86] BBC Culture's Nicolas Barber found some of the subplots to be unnecessary (specifically mentioning Benedict Cumberbatch as Billy Bulger), and argues that "the film is never bad, but, given the gob-smacking true story, it's disappointing that it’s not great".[88] In a negative review, CraveOnline's Fred Topel labeled Black Mass as a "black mess". He criticized the screenwriting and argued that the film borrows too heavily from Goodfellas, writing: "...it’s clear that the filmmakers wanted to turn this into Goodfellas and tried to shoehorn this story into a similar kind of seductive, funny, shocking gangster tale. ...Several scenes seem to want to be like the “How am I funny?” scene in Goodfellas, but it's blatant".[89]
