Monday Dec 31 2012 Quentin Tarantino has revealed a "wish-list" of actors he'd like to work with - topped by Johnny Depp. The Pulp Fiction director, who regularly works with a stable of familiar names, widened his talent pool to include Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio in his new movie Django Unchained. And speaking to US talk show host Charlie Rose, he admitted there are a number of A-list actors he'd love to include in future projects. Number one on his list is Depp, who he said he'd discussed working with in the past. "We would love to work together. We've talked about it for years," he explained. "Not that we get together and talk about it for years, but from time to time. We're obviously fans of each other. It just needs to be the right character. "I just need to write the right character that I think Johnny would be the right guy to do it with. And if he agrees, then we'll do it. And then it'll be magical. I haven't wr...

Picture: The Premiere of 'Django Unchained' held at the Ziegfeld Theatre... Quentin Tarantino has revealed that Johnny Depps on his wish list of actors that hed love to work with. Hed have to prise him away from Tim Burtons clutches, of course, but we reckon a Tarantino and Depp collaboration would be pretty awesome. The pair have apparently chatted about it in the past, so perhaps its not just a movie-lovers pipe dream, after all? We would love to work together, Tarantino told talk show host Charlie Rose. We've talked about it for years. Not that we get together and talk about it for years, but from time to time. We're obviously fans of each other. It just needs to be the right character. I just need to write the right character that I think Johnny would be the right guy to do it with. And if he agrees, then we'll do it. And then it'll be magical. I haven't written the perfect character for Johnny Depp as of yet. Maybe someday I will, maybe someday I won...

Picture: Helena Bonham Carter Les Miserables World Premiere held at the... Helena Bonham Carter is often left baffled by the jokes her partner Tim Burton shares with his best pal Johnny Depp , because she doesn't understand their references to American culture. The actress works and socialises with the Hollywood hunk and her filmmaking husband, but admits her British upbringing leaves her confused during their conversations. She says, "I don't actually understand what Johnny and Tim joke about. Culturally, they have had the same childhood and I haven't, so I don't get a lot of the same telly references. They try and explain what the joke is and I just go, 'huh?'" However, Bonham Carter insists she never gets jealous of their closeness, and reveals Depp is hero worshipped by her son, Billy. She adds, "I rejoice in the friendship! Johnny is a marvellous man and a wonderful friend. He is also godfather to our son Billy, and they have a wonderful re...

Armie Hammer was the drool-worthiest part of The Social Network (unless you count that doe-eyed Anthony Perkins doppelganger Andrew Garfield ), and Johnny Depp ranks among the sexiest men ever to hit the silver screen. Does the second Lone Ranger trailer live up to what should be a high composite sexiness? Forgive me for noticing the Disney stamp, the gold-dusted "rustic" cinematography, and the completely uninteresting dialogue, but I'm having John Carter of Mars flashbacks. I'm not suggesting we'll ever see a failure similar to that in the immediate future, but I'm more dubious than thrilled. And where is the hotness? So far I'm seeing saloon costuming and showy special effects. More Wild Wild West ('99) than Clayton Moore , wouldn't you say? Director Gore Verbinski said the movie will be more a showcase for Tonto (Depp) than the Lone Ranger, which is interesting. I'm not immediately seeing the Oscar nomination potential than Jack Spar...

For a man who has played a mascara-sporting pirate, a kooky confection mogul, and a tea-guzzling hatter, there is no film role that is out of the question. It is thus not much of a surprise to hear that Johnny Depp will be taking on the role of a mad scientist whose brain is uploaded to a supercomputer in an upcoming movie about the singularity . Depps character, Will, is assassinated in the movie early on (this is not a spoiler), but his brain survives just long enough for his wife to transfer it to a supercomputer . Will is then able to continue his life virtually, which only accelerates his research. The film, to be titled Transcendence , will perhaps be the first mainstream look at what the world could be like once the ability exists to merge humans with modern technology. Scientist and futurist Ray Kurzweil believes that the singularity the point at which computers reach super-human levels will occur around 2045. He has also made the bold prediction that the human brain will be ...

Theres no getting around the fact that Dark Knight trilogy mastermind Christopher Nolans success has impacted the industry, in terms of blockbuster marketing; not to mention, how other tentpole franchises have begun to borrow from his bag of tricks . Similarly, Nolans Inception has kept the floodgates open for more original big-budget science-fiction entertainment that incorporates recurring themes and ideas from its directors collective body of work (see: M. Night Shyamalans After Earth , Guillermo del Toros Pacific Rim and Joseph Kosinskis Oblivion ). Currently, Nolans Oscar-winning director of photography Wally Pfister is getting in on that same game with his directorial debut: Transcendence , an original high-concept sci-fi project scripted by newcomer Jack Paglen and starring Johnny Depp. So far, insiders are comparing the film to titles like Inception and 2001: A Space Odyssey with Pfister simply (and enigmatically) describing it as a present-day science fiction film.
