Leave it to Johnny Depp, he’s a very smary guy. Back in 2008, ne purchased the rights to Nick Tosche’s book “In The Hand of Dante,” which is about two intersecting stories based upon the legendary Italian writer Dante Alighiei’s masterwork, “The Divine Comedy.”

Depp himself will play the Nick Tosches “surrogate” character, rumor has it, in the joint story line. The narrative will swings back and forth between modern-day New York City and 14th century Italy. Depp’s character will travel to Sicily, where many mysterious and dangerous shenanigans ensue. Schnabel and Depp? We here at Vimooz are definitely in.
