Johnny Depp's New Movie (My American Lover) - Blu-ray Forum

Hey,

So it looks like Johnny Depp will be teaming up again with Lasse Hallström (Previously did Chocolat) which I thought was a great film. Perfect for a date movie

This is some interesting casting. The Playlist found a new quote from Johnny Depp where he talks about a new project he's involved in with Swedish filmmaker Lasse Hallström (who last directed Dear John as well as Chocolat, An Unfinished Life, and many other films). Apparently Hallström has cast Depp and his real life girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, who last starred in a French comedy called L'arnacoeur (or Heartbreaker in English), in his new film called My American Lover, about the story of French feminist philosopher, writer and theorist Simone de Beauvoir and American novelist Nelson Algren.

"It's called My American Lover," Depp said. "Vanessa plays the French feminist Simone de Beauvoir and I play her lover Nelson Algren who is real macho." The Playlist thinks this is an adaptation of de Beauvoir's book "A Transatlantic Love Affair: Letters to Nelson Algren," which is a collection of correspondences sent in the late 1940s. The two popular individuals held a transatlantic love affair and later traveled together throughout Latin America in 1949. Hallström is next supposed to direct the sex-change feature The Danish Girl starring Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow and will most likely start on My American Lover after.

What are your thoughts on this?

Enjoy.

Has his wife (I'm going to call her that because they're practically married) ever acted before?

She has weird teeth lol.

And Lasse was responsible for that nonsense that came out recently, Dear John. What's Eating Gilbert Grape was mediocre.

Haven't seen any of her recent movies. But I have seen Chocolat, I thought it was nicely done/told story.
