Johnny Depp To Helm Keith Richards Film

Johnny Depp, Hollywood star, pirate of the Caribbean and Rolling Stones super fan, is to make a film about Keith Richards.

Happy will mark Depp's first foray into directing for more than a decade, reports The Playlist. "Now that I'm wiser, and that enough time has passed, I can experience directing again," he told Serbian publication Politika. "Already next week I'll start working on a Keith Richards documentary. While I'm in Drvengrad, my editor is already working on kilometers of archive footage and footage of his concerts. I'm very touched that Keith agreed to show up in front of my cameras."

Depp has often cited Richards as the primary inspiration for his box-office crushing rogue of the seas Jack Sparrow. The Rolling Stones' talismanic guitarist appeared alongside Depp in the third part of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise in 2007.
