"The saga of Modigliani's life is a saga that I am incredibly honored, and truly humbled, to bring to the screen," Johnny Depp said in a statement.

“This life was marked by great trials, but also by a final triumph – a universal human story that all viewers can relate to,” notes the actor, fresh from a grueling trial with his ex. -woman.
