Johnny Depp identifies with artist Modigliani\u2019s rebellious streak<\/p>\n

The \u2018Edward Scissorhands\u2019 actor, 61, spoke of his love of the painter as he has just finished directing the film \u2018Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness\u2019 starring Riccardo Scamarcio, 44, as 20th century artist Amedeo Modigliani.<\/p>\n

Johnny told Variety about the movie, which will make its world premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain on Tuesday (24.09.24): \u201cModigliani was, of course, one of the great contemporary artists of all time. But he also represented an era and point of view where new possibilities still existed. His vision fascinates me. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe doggedly walked to the beat of his own drum, and possessed a natural allergy for convention during a time where the norm was being openly challenged across every medium. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be foolish not to admit that everything Modigliani ever stood for, and continues to stand for, resonates deeply within me.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI feel immensely fortunate to be given the opportunity to, along with a sublime cast and crew, capture his world in three days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u2018Modi\u2019 also features actor Al Pacino, who produced the movie, as well as Stephen Graham, Antonia Desplat, Bruno Gouery and Luisa Ranieri. <\/p>\n

\nVariety said Al, 84, first spoke with Johnny about making a film about Modigliani while they were shooting their 1997 gangster movie \u2018Donnie Brasco\u2019.<\/p>\n

\nStephen Deuters, CEO of Johnny\u2019s IN.2 production company, said about the actor taking on \u2018Modi\u2019 after being asked to by Al: \u201cJohnny was quite surprised, humbled and a bit blown away that Al was asking him to direct this.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHe wasn\u2019t expecting anyone to ask him to direct a film at that particular moment. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe had a lot going on at the time \u2013 this was even before Covid \u2013 and we just thought it would be a really positive thing for us to do, a slightly unexpected change of direction and something that he could really throw himself into\u2026. I think Johnny really didn\u2019t believe it was even happening until he landed (on the set.)\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
