As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! After his intense legal tussle with ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp is ready to captivate us once more with his upcoming film projects! The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the much-anticipated movie, Modi – Three Days on the Wing of Madness, where Riccardo Scamarcio portrays Bohemian artist Amedeo Modigliani and Al Pacino brings to life real-life French art collector Maurice Gangnat, is set to premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival!

According to what I’ve learned, this intriguing project, penned by the brilliant duo Jerzy and Mary Kromolowski, unfolds as a gripping narrative about art, love, and heartbreak. It chronicles a tumultuous 72-hour journey through the war-ravaged streets and bars of Paris during World War I, filled with chaos and turmoil. As I find myself on the run from the authorities, my intention to wrap up my career and depart from this city seems insignificant compared to the passion burning within me. However, my fellow Bohemians refuse to let me give up so easily. The stakes are raised significantly when I cross paths with a collector who could potentially alter the course of my life forever.
