When you start talking "condescending" and "pompous," look no further than Damon & Affleck. Only reason I'd buy a ticket to anything they were in would be if Depp were in it. And I'm glad he's passed on Black Mass, especially since they're trying to set him up to be the fall guy. Bulger deserved LESS attention, not more.

When he signed on to do Charlie and the Chocolate factory , he tried to get paid in red gummy bears , am I really suppose to believe he walked away from this movie because of a pay-cut ?

None of this "news" has been validated. The internet spreads rumors without bothering to see if there is any truth involved. They print the rumor and the hate comments commence. Johnny Depp has done plenty of films for practically nothing. Whatever the reason he left this project, I doubt the details have been thrown out for the gossip sites, or, if you want to get technical, "movie sites." It would be so nice if these sites would do more than quote The Hollywood Reporter,, which is only a step about gossip tabloids.

Maybe Depp doesn't want to work with Joel Egerton. Getting along well with the co-star is important. Fire Edgerton's ass and beg Depp. It's the only way to save the movie.

I hope that with this decision they advance a little faster with the Pirates film.

He can't sell a movie without whiteface, and everyone's waiting for the Affleck &Damon project anyway. No loss to the movie going public.

I don't believe the money thing at all. If Johnny really liked the role he would do it. The more I read about Bulger the more I really don't care for him he is a real piece of work.

I don't get the stupidity of these producers. It isn't Depp's problem that they advertise that they can finance the thing when they can't. I'm almost certain Depp doesn't always work for 20 million. I'm almost certain some of the issues has to do with the movie itself, rather than about the money.

I look forward to Affleck and Damons version. But that film is at least beyond 2015, perhaps even as far away as 2016.

Good news. I'd rather see an Affleck/Damon version of the Bulger story.
