Celeb / Film Johnny Depp Is in Megan Griffiths's New Movie

Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 3:56 PM

This has been rumored for quite a while now, but it looks like it's confirmed, according to E Online:

Johnny Depp is currently filming the upcoming flick Lucky Them in the Seattle area, and he surprised small-town fans when he serenaded locals in the town of Carnation while taking a break from work.

Congratulations to Lucky Them director Megan Griffiths for landing Depp for her movie. I'd like to think Griffiths's Stranger Genius award helped make this possible, although I have no idea how that could possibly be.

Hm, he's not on the IMDB cast list, or the SAG-AFTRA Station 12 Clearance List, so either it's just a cameo, or a small, uncredited role...

I'd like to see Johnny Depp in a smaller film, in a more low-key role. I really have no idea what that might look like anymore.

The local FB pages with pictures of him in Carnation last week were asked to take the shots down and delete comments that he was in town, so yeah, he's a surprise cameo in the movie ala Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. Shhhhhhh- too late for that!

I've seen Johnny Depp in cameos and uncredited roles. In a French film and This American Life. Lucky Them has already wrapped.

Yep, he was also in Hugo.

W.T.F. I live maybe 5 miles from Carnation. I can't believe I wasn't there for that! ARGH! HATE!!!

I'm guessing this may have something to do with Matt O'Leary, who appeared in both Megan Griffiths' Eden and Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger. Or not. But it's an interesting coincidence.
