Johnny Depp as Satan? This crazy director imagines him as a devil in a comedy

Terry Gilliam, who recently gave us the beautiful 4K re-release of Army of the 12 Monkeys, is preparing to return to the set. At the age of 83, the director of Crazy World wants to make a comedy: Carnival at the end of days.

he asked varietyTerry Gilliam said he wants to work with Johnny Depp again on this project. After starring in the cursed films The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and The Imaginary of Doctor Parnassus, the Brit wants to offer the actor the role of Satan, that’s it!

“It is a simple story in which God destroys mankind because he destroyed his beautiful garden, the earth. There is only one character who tries to save mankind and that is Satan, because without humans he has no job.”Terry Gilliam pointed out.

“He’s a timeless character, so life without a job is scary. He meets young people and tries to convince God that these young people are the new Adam and Eve, even if God comes to destroy humanity. It’s a comedy.”– explained the director.

As The Carnival at the End of Days is still in early development, we cannot confirm that Johnny Depp will be portraying Satan. However, Terry Gilliam confided in his enthusiasm about the project that he should be able to carry it out.

His last feature film, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, was released in 2018. Unfortunately, it was a commercial failure grossing $2 million worldwide on a $17 million budget.

In turn, Johnny Depp directed Modi, a biographical film dedicated to the famous Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani. His role is played by Riccardo Scamarchio. He stars alongside Al Pacino, who portrays wealthy art collector Maurice Gannett. This is his second collaboration with Johnny Depp, 26 years after the gangster film Donnie Brasco.
