Work with Serbian director Kusturica

Please add the infos about his corporation with Emir Kusturica in 1995 - movie Arizona Dream as well as arrival of Depp to Serbia in Kustendorf these days and statute made after him in Drvengrad http://www.rferl.org/content/Depp_Gets_Statue_In_Serbia/1929700.html Thank u! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.93.52.174 (talk) 23:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Depp had a part in the film "Kiss of the Spider Woman" Wrigpet (talk) 11:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

A while ago, I saw the film "Kiss of the Spider Woman" (a Brazillian American Film) It was directed by Argentine-born Brazilian director Héctor Babenco and starred William Hurt & Raull Julia. It was set in a jail with a number of other characters, one of these characters was a very effeminate transvestite who liked to dress up like a woman and put on a show for the rest of the male inmates. I am certain that this character was acted by Johnny Depp, because he was so outrageous and 'pretty' that I took note of who the actor was. However I could be mistaken, so if this can be verified by some one else who knows the film, I would appreciate it. This could also be added to Depp's film credits. Wrigpet (talk) 11:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you're wrong. I know that film and Johnny Depp was not in it. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:23, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

add,anyone?

also its worth mentioning that he already collaborated with kusturica once and they are making another movie together. i would have added it already but my keyboard isnt working properly, for example i cant use 'shift' and 'caps lock' so it wouldnt be easy to edit —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.244.158.75 (talk) 01:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We don't usually include each time that someone builds a statue or the like. When the film with Emir Kusturica gets closer to production or hits the main trade papers, it will be included. Currently, it is just listed as "in development" on both pages on IMDB, one of 15 for Depp. Thanks. Sara's Song (talk) 01:58, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

dead?

There are reports that the actor's dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrypmgaga (talk • contribs) 14:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And the reports are being attributed to CNN? Look at this [1] The page says CNN but the URL is "angelfire.com". Check out the spelling and grammar mistakes. Not exactly what we hope to read from a CNN reporter. Keep reading the article and without explanation it switches to discussion of British cavers in Mexico. A little odd. Now check out this [2] This is the genuine CNN article about the cavers. The Johnny Depp death story has been put on the front of it so that it looks legitimate at first glance. If it's true, there will quickly be legitimate reports of it, but for now it looks like a hoax, and that's what we should assume. Rossrs (talk) 14:21, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I was just researching this myself when I saw this somewhere else. I don't know what happens but a search seem to appear that he is alive and well and working hard. It is strange though, two stories merged like that. I wonder if someone highjacked the CNN logo and made the changes or something. I don't know this kind of thing well enough to say. --CrohnieGalTalk 15:45, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
These reports are now being widely being denied by various sources, may I add. Routerone (talk) 15:47, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That link is a blatant and obvious forgery and attempting to use it on wikipedia should simply be treated as vandalism (albeit we are not the target); anyone who added this in good faith is probably not skillful enough to edit wikipedia at all.

4Chan fails again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.64.154.24 (talk) 16:18, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The first I heard of this was logging onto twitter so its clearly had quite a wide coverage but unless the spoof itself became heavily picked up on in reliable sources it has no interest for us. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs 17:19, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The date on the article (and I use the term loosely) is: Thursday, March 25, 2004 Posted: 8:21 PM EST (0121 GMT) So yeah, it's a hoax, and a very old one apparently. No need to panic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.17.200 (talk) 18:21, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs 19:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Roman Polanski

Depp came out in defense of Roman Polanski do you think this should be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.7.61 (talk) 01:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'd put it in there just after his upcoming adoption of Dakota Fanning. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um I don't think he's adopting Dakota Fanning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.7.61 (talk) 00:12, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

minor grammar issue

I would have corrected it myself but the page is protected now....

In the Music section it says "...He is a friend of The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, and performed on MacGowan's first solo album. As well, he was a member of P, a group featuring "

It should either be "...He is a friend of The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, and performed on MacGowan's first solo album as well. He was a member of P, a group featuring....."

or else change to "...He is a friend of The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, and performed on MacGowan's first solo album. He was also a member of P, a group featuring......"

The Tourist

What i would like to know is when the movie the tourist is coming out i know depp and jolie are in it together, i hear they have a very steamy part in the movie. i wanna see how well they work together in the movie.

depp fan 2-18-10 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.104.6.59 (talk) 06:23, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It hasn't even begun to film yet. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:53, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i thought that johnny depp wanted to get out of that movie, because of angelina jolie . . . was that some false news?? 75.220.46.155 (talk) 21:12, 20 May 2010 (UTC)curious person[reply]

Vineyard

Could someone at all please look at the facts, in regards to the ownership of vineyards by Johnny Depp. He has denied owning vineyards on the Friday night with jonathon Ross show here in the uk. can anyone substantiate weather this is true or not. thanks steve —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.85.230 (talk) 18:31, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He bought it for his girl, not himself. That he said he didn't own one may be true, but there's nothing that says she doesn't own it. Wildhartlivie (talk) 18:39, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


i watched a interview with tim burton and johnny depp on the Jonathon ross show and Johnny clearly stated he didnt have a vineyard —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.166.85.85 (talk) 00:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, duh. See my reply above your post. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He clearly stated in the interview he doesn't own one, because the French don't want to him to own one. Also, British tabloids are hardly a reliable source of news. We've had words from Depps own mouth which we should accept as the truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sepmix (talk • contribs) 09:19, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Once again folks, the article states that he bought the property for Vanessa Paradis, not for himself, this it would be entirely true that he does not own one, but he didn't say that she doesn't own one. Get a grip here, the statements are supported by references from reliable sources like the San Francisco Examiner. Did it ever occur to any of you that he may have deliberately obfuscated the real story for his and her privacy? Sheesh. Wildhartlivie (talk) 18:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

please!!

can somebody change this picture —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.161.196 (talk) 21:24, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There should be a link to Winona Ryder in this article. She is mentioned under "Background - 1990s and 2000s" but not linked to. The page is protected, so I can't change it. Thanks! Ecologygirl (talk) 22:04, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Her name is wikilinked twice already in the article. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Add Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Though there is a warning in the edit page that says to do not add this film because it only has been announced, I think is time to add it because Disney had even put a release date in its movie page which is May 20, 2011 and if you enter the article Pirates of the Caribbean (film series), you can check a verifiable source that says they will begin shooting this film on June 7th and finish on November, so I think the film is in pre-production. It's not a rumor anymore, is a fact. Disneyfolly2 (talk) 18:09, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The bottom line is that we do not add films to the table until they have entered some active phase of production. Films in development or pre-production aren't included. On Stranger Tides has not started filming, so it does not belong in the article there. You skipped that part of the warning and it is the key. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well you they have already started filming it now so . . . . 75.220.151.113 (talk) 19:05, 19 May 2010 (UTC) informative person75.220.151.113 (talk) 19:05, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well you it needs a reliable source. Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:55, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

well my father works with thw movies, and he says that you hear the people talk about what they are working on, and he hears alot of movies, and one of them happened to be fourth pirates of the caribbean! 75.220.46.155 (talk) 21:01, 20 May 2010 (UTC)informative person[reply]

Sorry, your dad isn't considered a reliable source. "My dad told me so" just doesn't cut it. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:11, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i could care less if you put it on there or not anyways. besides i just wanted to let the other person know that they are filming it now, and not till june. 75.220.46.155 (talk) 22:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC)informative person!!!![reply]

And once again, there needs to be a reliable source besides "Daddy told me" to put it in. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:36, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I could care less if it's in or not!!! It doesn't matter to me!!!!75.231.121.196 (talk) 00:10, 21 May 2010 (UTC) informative person75.231.121.196 (talk) 00:10, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cry-Baby

Should a mention of Cry-Baby be mentioned in the article about Depp after he left 21 Jump Street, since Cry-Baby was a deliberate parody of his teen idol image, to make fun of all of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.44.78.194 (talk) 00:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Based on what speculation? That isn't a valid description of John Waters' work, nor is it a valid description of the film, which was a parody of movie musicals. Had nothing to do with 21 Jump Street, and Depp wouldn't have done it based on parodying what he left for the same reason. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Anderson (fencer)

{{editsemiprotected}}

"Anderson who also trained Errol Flynn, another famous Hollywood pirate..."

Please add {{cn}} here. Bob Anderson was in his early teens when Errol Flynn was buckling swashes in Captain Blood (1935 film). It's not absolutely impossible for Flynn's later roles, just unlikely. I think the only opportunity would have been The Master of Ballantrae (film), for which Anderson is credited by the IMDB as a stuntman, not a fencing coach. 192.91.173.42 (talk) 06:07, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reference provided there did not seem to support the claims. All quotations require a reference. Thus, I removed the following;

Anderson who also trained Errol Flynn, another famous Hollywood pirate, described in the film Depp's ability as an actor to pick up the sword to be, "about as good as you can get."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/reviews/Reclaiming-the-Blade |title=Reclaiming the Blade |first=Bill |last=Gibron |publisher=Filmcritic}}</ref>

If the facts can be referenced (or if I missed something), I'm sure someone will correct me.

Excellent source of acheivements

From the Actor's studio: [3] Please take it into consideration. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 15:27, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Take what into consideration? We cannot publish YouTube links that contain copyright violations. Any broadcast that is copyrighted falls under that. Depp's achievements are listed in this article already. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Depp's status as a major star was solidified with the success of the 2003 Walt Disney Pictures film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,[26]

I'm not an expert, but this statement seems bizarre at best, and wrong at worst. Mr. Depp was obviously a major "star," as defined by American culture, far before this film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madglee (talk • contribs) 04:37, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why it doesn't make sense to you. Yeah, he was a star, but he was not considered an A-list star who could write his own ticket until the success of the Pirates films. He also became a very highly nominated and award-winning star. Look at the filmography. There were a smathering of nominations and wins - 12 by count for all the films prior to the Pirates films, and it exploded after that. 13 for the first Pirates film alone, including first Academy Award nomination. It's clear that the role lifted him into the stratosphere compared to the smaller, less stellar career that went before. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:10, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ozzy Osbourne Film

Johnny Depp is also considering a request from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne to play as Ozzy in a biopic in production. The movie is a definite go right now, but Depp has yet to say yes. I believe this should go under the "Film Roles" section. An example of an article on this topic is presented at this link: http://www.hollywoodnews.com/2010/06/02/ozzy-osbourne-cast-johnny-depp-in-my-biopic/

banjo999 (talk) 23:31, 8 June 2010

That falls under WP:CRYSTAL. A possible future role in a possible future film. We don't include things like that. Nothing's certain and it is, after all, just something Ozzy wants. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:03, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

The new Pirates film is filming right now. If you need a source, here it is: http://www.realtvaddict.com/2010/06/14/weekend-roundup-january-jones-jenny-mccarthy-chris-meloni-and-more/ So, if someone could put that the film is in production, that would be great. 75.90.105.234 (talk) 22:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
