For Johnny Depp, working with Angelina Jolie nearly a vacation Why do I suddenly feel hopeless

PARIS – He’s a long way from flashy, gold-toothed Captain Jack Sparrow. The challenge was to portray the ordinary, everyday man. ‘And to see this guy who has no particular highs or no particular lows in his life, he just kind of moves on like any pedestrian, and then to put him in a series of situations that are so radically outside of his hemisphere was great fun.” That’s because, Depp said, “Those people who are considered normal I find the most fascinating because they’re always really weird. ANGELINA JOLIE is calling for a new law to protect celebrities and their families from unscrupulous photographers who get too close to stars’ kids. Angelina Jolie has insisted that she likes having her kids on film sets with her. They have these routines teetering on like obsessive compulsive tics that I find fascinating.” To get into the role, Depp drew inspiration from two men he once knew. When it comes to choosing where to spend Christmas, even the most well-travelled people can find themselves with a dilemma – and this year, that’s certainly the case for Angelina Jolie. She told MTV News: ‘It’s always fun to have family on set. “Oh, of course,” Jolie told MTV News in Paris while promoting “The Tourist.” “I think every actor would be open to that. Because I think at some point it’s going to be clearer that it’s emotionally not healthy.

“If you think about it, Depp’s most successful roles have always had him playing oddballs.” In a caustic review, The Hollywood Reporter film critic Todd McCarthy opined: “Depp never has registered less effectively in his entire film career.” As for Jolie, her most recent outing came in July with the action thriller Salt, a $118 million domestic grosser. That someone turns out to be Frank, a community college math teacher from Madison, Wis., played with as much frumpiness as Johnny Depp can muster. We have our map books out and we’re looking for a country to go to. And they like to pack their bags and have new adventures.’ But the highlight for Jolie on her latest film was having the opportunity to play a ‘real lady’ in the form of English character Elsie Ward. Elise sits opposite him and bowls Frank over. Sony secured cover stories in USA Weekend, Entertainment Weekly, Vogue and Vanity Fair, helping to spread awareness of the film among prospective patrons. It’s hard to know when that script will be ready. ‘We’ve no plans at the moment,’ the actress said. I’d love to work with her.

That would be a good one.” Who do you think should star in Tim Burton’s “Maleficent”? And she discussed how the little ones cope with attention from the paparazzi. The holiday season generally produces a sleeper hit or two.

Frank, in the best Hitchcock tradition, is just another dopey American. She’s very down to earth. Also she’s a great mommy.”
