Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s legal drama now seems to be a never-ending cat and mouse chase. With each passing day, new details continue to be found thereby adding another layer to the case. Even after Johnny Depp won the defamation trial against Heard, she doesn’t seem eager to stop soon. It is now reported that the Aquaman actress is preparing to appeal to the court regarding that trial but surprisingly Johnny Depp doesn’t seem to give that much attention as he is fully focused on his upcoming directorial Modigliani.
Johnny Depp doesn’t want to focus on any negativity
With the recent developments around Johnny Depp‘s life, he doesn’t seem to give a damn anymore about these legal troubles and setbacks. Instead, his focus is more on his career and it is evident from the projects he is involved in currently.
The Pirates of The Caribbean star is returning to the director’s chair after almost 25 years with his upcoming Modigliani which will be based on the life of a prominent Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. This is very good progress in reviving his Hollywood career which was affected too much during the legal troubles.
According to the sources, the actor is very excited to return to that director’s chair after so long alongside someone like Al Pacino and also hopes it to be a massive success.
“He’s so grateful that he’s been able to put all his focus into his passion of making music and working on films again. He couldn’t be more excited to be reuniting with Al Pacino on Modigliani (Modi) and he’s hopeful it’s going to be a huge success. Johnny feels so privileged to be working on this film and it really does feel like the perfect project for him.”
Johnny Depp added that he is extremely happy in bringing the chronicle of the Italian painter and sculptor to screen:
“The saga of Mr. Modigliani’s life is one that I’m incredibly honored, and truly humbled, to bring to the screen, It was a life of great hardship, but eventual triumph — a universally human story all viewers can identify with.”
It is also a very noticeable fact that Modigliani and Depp’s life also bears many common similarities. A life full of hardships and misfortunes followed both of their stories.
Johnny Depp’s comeback seems to be spectacular
The Murder on the Orient Express actor is not only limited to a directorial venture but he is also focusing on a ton of other things such as art galleries, films, brand endorsements, and music. Recently he set the internet ablaze with the news of his reunion with the fragrance company Dior. Following that he is also set to return to the big screens as King Louis XV in Jeanne du Barry.
While Johnny Depp doesn’t seem to give up on his career soon, Amber Heard has also reportedly changed her legal team in the process of preparation for an appeal regarding the verdict of the defamation case. After Amber Heard lost the highly publicized case, she had to pay $10.15 million to Depp. Now the actress is preparing to appeal against the verdict of the course as she is reluctant to believe in the results and with all the new revelations coming out, it will be an exciting wait for the ultimate outcome.
