It would seem that a natural progression for Johnny Depp after modeling
Jack Sparrow after a flamboyant, slightly effeminate classic rocker
would to be to actually play a flamboyant, slightly effeminate classic
rocker. And, according to The Independent, that's exactly what he may be
doing in the not too distant future.
Depp's apparently been approached about ****traying Queen frontman
Freddie Mercury in a biopic being developed by Robert DeNiro's company,
Tribeca Productions.
Queen guitarist, Brian May, recently confirmed that the film is in
active development, mentioning "Discussions are at an early stage" and
had this to say about Depp possibly playing Mercury: "He would be a
worthy counterpart for Freddie on screen. I don't think I can say any
more right now." Oooh, very cryptic.
In any case, the role seems tailor-made for someone of Depp's
sensibilities. What do you guys think? Hit the above link for more

Sparrow in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END.
