Johnny Depp Is Documenting Keith Richards

By Josh Tyler
2010-02-02 00:43:28

I’m really tired of hearing about how Johnny Depp based the character of Captain Jack Sparrow on Keith Richards. The character was more fun before we knew where he came from. Johnny though, has parlayed this Keith Richards thing into a cottage industry. Now he’s taken the next step and gone from imitating him to posterizing him.

Pop Sugar says Depp is working on a Keith Richards documentary. Since they’re a celebrity site and mainly concerned with taking creepy pictures of celebrity kids (who exactly is the market for these photos?) they don’t offer any further detail like, for instance, exactly what his role is on this documentary. Is he producing? Playing Keith Richards in a series of unauthorized re-enactments? If it’s the latter, I can’t wait to see Johnny Depp fall out of a coconut tree.

We’ve heard rumors that he may actually be directing. If so, it’ll be the first thing he’s directed since 1997’s The Brave. All I want to know is… where is The Rum… Diaries. Ditch this Keith Richards cockroach and focus on Hunter S. Thompson, Johnny.

He's always copycatting other people. WHo is the real Johnnie? It says here that The Rum Diary (the movie) is coming out 2010 based on autobiographicalThe Rum Diaries by Hunter S. Thompson. It was a good read. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376136/

I like Depp and love Keith, but i tend to find people who idolize keith more keith richards fans than stones fans. These tend to be same people who think Jagger is less than.

He's probably worth a hundred million, but tries to look like a homeless person. Oh well, any Keith project save for the torch singer ballads are ok by me.

Lady Jane and I have the same favorite pictures. I hope the Winos rock out loud and hard whatever this project is. There was a time when the Winos were the greatest rock and roll band in the world.

I'm sick to death of Johnny Depp's Keef-love. If anyone should be shooting a documentary it should be me.

Glad to see Keef carrying his own guitar. Love that shot. Imagine that walking towards you.

Oh LJ, you can't believe how much you made my day with these photos!!!!

There was another thread some days ago about Johnny's KR documentary, but I had no idea he'd start shooting it so fast... Johnny and Keith together.................!!!! And Patti Smith!!!! Shocked

I love it when my obsessions combine Let's go get drunk

And, people, respect for JD, he's not creepy or anything in the likes I read in this thread Shit!

This is going to be a kick-ass documentary!

And yep, our man's got quite a beer belly going on there Ouch!

LJ, we love the same shots too - that coat, that attitude....
And of course Johnny, the second love of my life Grin

agreed fotini - anyone that is doing or has done as he has for the legacies of both keith and HST deserves respect and kudos - more power to him

a man after my own heart

although i thought the movie of the Las Vegas book was, not disappointing, but rather doomed to fail... i have higher hopes for the Rum Diary which should allow him more room to breathe inside the character

and he should have stopped at the first pirate movie but i guess the lure of the $$ was too much...goes to show he's only human

This is all I can find at www.popsugar.com

"Johnny Depp wasn't at yesterday's Grammys, but he was hard at work on a musical project of his own in LA. He joined Keith Richards and Patti Smith to work on a documentary about the legendary Rolling Stones star, with Vanessa Paradis even bringing their kids Lily-Rose and Jack along to check out the scene. Johnny has another rock and roll project in the works, as he's set to team up with singers Nick Cave and Shane MacGowan to record a charity single benefitting Haiti. Johnny loves hitting the stage with his friends, and it sounds like Ozzy Osbourne has another project in mind for Johnny to combine rocking out and acting."
