Me, Annie and Sal would like to wish all our visitors, Johnny’s fans and Johnny himself a great holidays season, with peace, harmony, health and happiness. Enjoy this season with your family and friends, and have a great new year.

I’ve found an old photoshoot that I didn’t see in the gallery.

And also a new (old) picture of Johnny at the UK DMC Press Conference.

Robert Pattinson to play Jack’s little brother?

ET goes straight to the source to find out if rumors that Robert Pattinson will star in the next ‘Pirates’ movie are legit.

As internet rumors and some published reports have speculated, Rob is supposedly lined up to play Johnny Depp’s little brother in the fourth installment of the movie franchise.

A rep for Disney, however, says flatly, “It is not true.”

Most of you have probably seen these already but to those who haven’t, here are few pictures of Dolls made by Noel Cruz.

As the Dec. 9 DVD release of “The Dark Knight” approaches, fans have casting picks for director Christopher Nolan should he create another Batman film. According to a survey conducted by Blockbuster Inc., movie fans are hoping to see Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie play starring roles. The villains that fans would most like to see Batman take on are The Riddler and The Joker’s therapist turned girlfriend Harley Quinn.

“Both Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are actors who can bring a Batman villain to life in the complex, realistic style that have made Nolan’s films so popular,” said Keith Leopard, director of film product for Blockbuster Inc. “It would be exciting to see what they could do with The Riddler’s compulsive clue-giving and Harley Quinn’s transformation from brilliant therapist to psychotic criminal.”

See the full list here.

I noticed we didn’t have these two stills in the gallery so here they are. Hope they are new to some of you.

This year’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue of People has a full-page picture of Johnny, in a section devoted to “20 Superstars.”

I’ve found some scans from Empire UK. It’s the first look at “Public Enemies”. Thanks to Ewris@Live Journal for them.

Movie bosses behind Johnny Depp’s forthcoming release Public Enemies are facing an additional filming cost from the mayor of the Wisconsin county the crime thriller was shot in – after a local road collapsed as a result of the traffic diversions to accommodate shooting.

The John Dillinger biopic was filmed in Columbus in March (08) after producers were attracted to the area by the governor’s new movie incentives.
But during filming, state highway traffic had to be diverted away from the city centre and onto less congested routes – but the road, in Dodge County, could not handle the extra load and collapsed.

County officials were subsequently left with a $116,000 (£77,850) repair bill – leading to a lawsuit against Columbus city officials.

Columbus Mayor Nancy Osterhaus is now looking to split the cost with executives at movie studio
Universal.

Paramount Pictures has announced that it is seeking licensing partners for its upcoming animated film, Rango. Directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) and featuring the voice of Johnny Depp, the movie is slated for release in March of 2011. The property is now available for licensing in all categories through Paramount Licensing.

Conceived by Verbinski and written by John Logan (The Aviator), Rango is described as the tale of a household pet who sets out on a journey of self-discovery. The title role will be voiced by Depp, who voiced the male lead in Tim Burton’s Oscar-nominated The Corpse Bride. Verbinski’s Blind Wink Prods. is producing the pic, along with Grahm King and John Carls. Paramount’s Nickelodeon Films is also expected to play a role in bringing the film to the screen.

According to ILM, the film will use keyframe animation based on the studio’s proprietary Imocap system which captures data onset and not performance-driven motion capture. Oscar-winning Pirates of the Caribbean veterans Hal Hickel and John Knoll will be the film’s animation director and vfx supervisor respectively.
