Many believe that the latest project in Hollywood marks Johnny Depp's return to the big screen after a long time. However, this actor has not been completely absent from the film industry. Before accepting that offer, he had been actively working on equally interesting projects.

One of Depp's achievements last year was his role in the French-language drama titled JEANNE DU BARRY. This film not only marks the expansion of his career into the international arena but also showcases his continuously evolving acting abilities.

In addition to acting, Depp also demonstrated his talent behind the scenes by directing an independent film titled MODI: THREE DAYS ON THE WING OF MADNESS. This work received attention at the Rome Film Festival, affirming his courage to experiment in the film industry. With the various projects he is working on, Depp proves that he remains active and creative even amid challenges.

2. The Fourth Reunion of Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz

A delightful collaboration has once again formed between two Hollywood A-list stars, Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz, in their latest project titled DAY DRINKER. This meeting marks their fourth reunion on the big screen, following the success of their previous trio of films: the crime drama BLOW in 2001, the pirate adventure PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES in 2011, and the murder mystery MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS in 2017.

"There are no two actors more ideal than Johnny and Penélope to bring this story to life." said Adam Fogelson, head of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.

3. Synopsis of Day Drinker

The film DAY DRINKER marks an important moment for Johnny Depp's career, which had previously declined. According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter on October 28, the film centers around a cruise ship bartender who becomes involved in a tense mystery after meeting a heavy-drinking man full of secrets. This unexpected encounter then drags them into a whirlpool of dangerous criminal underworld.

Behind this grand project, Marc Webb has been entrusted as the director, while the screenplay is written by talented writer Zach Dean, who recently received acclaim for his contributions to the blockbuster FAST X. However, as of now, there is no information regarding when DAY DRINKER will be released, so fans will have to be patient while waiting for further news.
