12 Monkeys Director Wants Johnny Depp as Satan the Savior in New Movie after “God wipes out humanity”
Johnny Depp is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time due to his diverse range of roles and distinct, eccentric characters. From the iconic Jack Sparrow to Willy Wonka, Edward Scissorhands, and the Mad Hatter, Depp has proven his versatility time and time again.
It comes as no surprise, then, that filmmakers want him to star in their projects. The latest director to express his desire to cast Depp is Terry Gilliam, known for films like Brazil and 12 Monkeys. Gilliam recently revealed his plans for his upcoming film, Carnival at the End of Days, in which he wants Depp to play the role of Satan, who is also the protagonist.
This is not the first time Gilliam and Depp have collaborated; they previously worked together on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
Despite the film’s departure from Depp’s usual projects, it is believed that he would excel in the role of Satan, given his track record of portraying unconventional characters. Carnival at the End of Days presents an intriguing concept, with the story revolving around a world devoid of humanity, destroyed by God. Interestingly, Satan becomes the sole advocate for saving the human race.
Contrary to expectations, Gilliam insists that the film will be a comedy, offering a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the age-old battle between good and evil. With Gilliam’s renowned talent for visual storytelling and Depp’s impeccable acting skills, Carnival at the End of Days promises to be a captivating cinematic experience. Fans eagerly await the official announcement and the opportunity to witness the collaboration between these two extraordinary artists.
