Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp in ‘Day Drinker’
Last week’s Penelope Cruz news is her teaming up with Johnny Depp for ‘Day Drinker’, a Lionsgate thriller with Marc Webb directing. The film is Cruz’s fourth film with Depp and is described by Lionsgate as one in which “a cruise ship bartender” and “a mysterious day drinker” . . . “find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly, and connected in unexpected ways.”
Cruz worked with Depp on 2001’s ‘Blow’; 2011’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’; and 2017’s ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. Penelope Cruz supported Depp in his court drama with Amber Heard, submitting affidavits saying she had never witnessed him engaged in violent behavior.
“Many years have passed and I have not only made 3 movies with him, but I also count on him as a great friend,” wrote Cruz in the court documents. “I’ve always been impressed by his kindness, his brilliant mind, his talent, and his peculiar sense of humor.”
