By Johnny Depp’s character in
, looks to be the most tame character he’s played in years. There is no fanciful accent attached, no over the top gothic wardrobe, just Depp playing a regular joe. However, Jolie is venturing into familiar territory, she looks to be playing another woman of intrigue. She may not be a spy, but her role looks close enough that she should slip in very easily. Needless to say, I’m quite excited about seeing these two talented actors join forces for a film like this. With their combined star power, the film could easily be a breakout hit over the Christmas season.
