Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz Set to Star in DAY DRINKER From Director Marc Webb
Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz will star in their fourth film together for a Lionsgate project titled Day Drinker, which will be directed by Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, 500 Days of Summer, and the upcoming Snow White).
Depp and Cruz previously co-starred in the films Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Murder on the Orient Express.
In Day Drinker, “a cruise ship bartender meets a mysterious day drinker—only for both of them to find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly, and connected in unexpected ways.”
Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said in a statement: “Day Drinker combines a highly commercial concept with wildly outrageous twists and turns all set in an incredible world, and there is no better filmmaker than Marc or two more perfectly cast actors than Johnny and Penélope to bring that world to life.”
The film is produced by Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, who produce the John Wick franchise for Lionsgate, and Adam Kolbrenner, producer of The Tomorrow War, Free Guy, and Prisoners, and Zach Dean, who also wrote the original spec screenplay.
Dean previously wrote Fast X, The Tomorrow War, Deadfall, and the upcoming film The Gorge.
