Along with the first Johnny Depp movie in three years, Jeanne du Barry, premiering at the Cannes Film Festival next week, the actor also just made major moves regarding a film he’ll direct. Depp is currently putting together the cast for Modi, a biopic of the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, and reportedly Al Pacino is among the actors on board.
Al Pacino and Johnny Depp previously worked together on 1997’s Donnie Brasco along with sharing credits on the 2011 Adam Sandler comedy Jack And Jill. Per Deadline, Pacino has been cast in Depp’s first feature directorial effort since co-writing, starring and helming The Brave in the ‘90s, which co-starred Marlon Brando in one of his final performances. Italian actor Riccardo Scamarcio and French actor Pierre Niney are also among the Modi cast.
