Actor Johnny Depp honored guest at Comanche Nation Fair

Image
01 October 2012 DANA ATTOCKNIE, Native American Times LAWTON, Okla. Anticipation and excitement is exploding throughout the Comanche Nation headquarters near Lawton, Okla. People are snuggled as close to the road as possible waiting for the 21st annual Comanche Nation Fair parade to begin. No one seems to care about the rain. The only forecast theyre interested in is when honorary tribal member Johnny Depp is coming. The road was lined with hoodies and umbrellas, Regina Brannock, Comanche Nation tribal member, said. Its sprinkling/drizzling, but no ones spirits or enthusiasm are dampened. Most Comanche members learned of Depps visit to the fair late this summer, and Saturday Sept. 29, 2012 couldnt have come sooner. Three SUVs came driving by and a rear passenger window was open with an arm out waving Johnny Depp. No warning, no announcement, just a drive by, Brannock said. Since weve been waiting so long, they decided to give us a tease to appease us. Depp cruised through the parade...

Johnny Depp is Not in Wes Anderson's Upcoming 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'

Image
Well, thanks for breaking our movie-loving hearts, Wes Anderson . The wonderfully eclectic director has murdered joy by refuting reports that quirky wonderperson Johnny Depp would be starring in his upcoming film, The Grand Budapest Hotel . In an interview with The Huffington Post , Anderson explains how the rumors came to be: "You know, the Internet has a way of announcing things on its own [laughs]. You will find that even though I'm very aware of the cast that has been announced on its own devices, you'll never find me saying who's in the movie. Or, as far as I know, anybody else. I really don't know where it all comes from. In fact, Johnny is somebody who I would love to work with at some point, but he's not going to be in this movie." So much for all our character ideas ! Harumph. And while movie fans sigh at the prospect of waiting even longer for the destined-to-work-together (we hope!) duo, Anderson did confirm one bit of casting news: Bill Murr...

Johnny Depp Leads Parade With Indian Tribe As Honourary Member

Image
Wenn Johnny Depp, who is famed for his weird and wonderful range of interests, yesterday enjoyed some downtime with the Comanche Indian tribe, of which he's an honorary member. The megastar managed to keep a low profile at the 21st Annual Comanche Nation Fair in Oklahoma, thanks to the tribe's lack of publicity surrounding his appearance. He served as a Grand Marshall in the tribe's parade, keeping a low profile until word began to spread that he was in the area. According to a video obtained by TMZ , Depp rode in a black Mustang convertible with red stripes, waving and smiling to his fans and wearing a western-style cowboy hat. He kept with the tribal theme by wearing a long-sleeved white button down shirt, teamed with a vibrant vest. Guards surrounded the vehicle as it slowly made its way through the hundreds of screaming fans. The narrator of the video begins to scream as the Pirates Of The Caribbean star comes towards her, exclaiming: Johnny Depp is coming down the road...

Screening Room Home Video: October 2nd Releases

DARK SHADOWS RUSS The eighth collaboration between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, the satiric comedy Dark Shadows, is a somewhat schizophrenic comedy based on the horror TV soap opera from the 1970s. SHAWN Director and film provocatureTim Burtoneven at his worst is always interesting, except for that Planet of the Apes movie. Once again he teams with his go to guy Johnny Depp and the results are more mixed than a bag of nuts. RUSS Depp is terrific, demonstrating the deft comic timing weve come to expect from him. But the movies blend of humor and horror seems a bit awkward and belabored this time out.Depps charisma helps a lot, but Dark Shadows isnt the campy fun it should have been. SHAWN I agree. The blend of humor and horror never worked and the movie seemed to be missing a bit of swagger. Should have been so much more fun and intense. A lot more intense and serious.Instead it almost seems like an extended SNL skit. The only extra material on the DVD release will be a a single feature...

The saga of the "West Memphis 3" has been detailed in documentaries, notably the Paradise Lost films by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, which exposed serious questions about the death sentence and life sentences for three teenagers accused of murdering three boys in 1993.

In 1993, the lives of three young teenagers Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin were changed forever when they were convicted of a crime they didn't commit: the brutal murder of three boys in West Memphis, Arkansas.

Depp shares 'ink' with Echols

2012-09-13T00:03:09Z Depp shares 'ink' with Echols The Associated Press The Associated Press The man Johnny Depp helped release from Arkansas' death row has become like a brother to him, right down to getting matching tattoos.

It's one of my all-time favorites, and it means quite a lot to me," Depp told The Associated Press before the premiere of the documentary, "West of Memphis," about Damien Echols and his two co-defendants.

Johnny Depp links ink to tragedy

Johnny Depp told The Associated Press that he and Damien Echols, the man he helped free from Arkansas death row, now share a bond forged by matching tattoos. Its one of my all-time favorites, Johnny said, motioning to the area on his chest where the ink resides. It means quite a lot to me. Damien and two other defendants were falsely accused of murder in 1993. Dubbed the West Memphis Three, they came to prominence after being featured in the documentary Paradise Lost. Johnny, Henry Rollins, Natalie Maines and Eddie Vedder all contributed to the trios legal fees to help them get out of prison. Hes become like a brother to me, said Damien, who designed the tattoo they both share. No one is quite sure exactly what the tattoos look like, but we are guessing Pruno Forever was off the table.
