We take a break from the dramas of Johnny Depp’s personal life to return to his professional career. The actor returned to shoot with the film “Jeanne du Barry”, written, directed and starring Maïwenn, in which Depp plays King Louis XV. Thanks to the film’s producer, Why Not, we now have an early image of Johnny Depp as the French monarch:
The film will tell the story of Jeanne du Barry, the woman who became the last mistress of King Louis XV of France. He will also tell how the monarch’s mismanagement ended up unnerving the population so much that it paved the way for the French Revolution. Maiwenn herself will play the woman who stole the king’s heart, to the scandal of the entire court.
Filming began a month after the verdict in Depp’s favor in the libel trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard. “Jeanne du Barry”, which will be in French, it is registered in Versailles and other palaces in the region. Benjamin Lavernhe, Pierre Richard, Melvil Poupaud, Noémie Lvovsky, Pascal Greggory and India Hair complete the main cast.
When will it be released in Spain?
“Jeanne du Barry” will be released in theaters in France in 2023 through Le Pacte and a year later Netflix will launch it in streaming in the Gallic country. There is still no news on the premiere of him in Spain. This film is Johnny Depp’s first camera work since “The Photographer of Minamata”, which was released in Spanish cinemas in April 2021.
