Variety reports that Johnny Depp is in advanced negotiations to star as the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa in the bopic Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers.

Johnny Depp to Play Pancho Villa?
Cinematical —
If there's one actor working today who is worth waiting for, it's Johnny Depp. Unfortunately, not all filmmakers have the luxury of being able to postpone a project long enough to fit the busy star in. His many commitments have, for instance, forced Terry Gilliam to replace the actor in his second attempt to make The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (Robert Duvall claims to be Depp's substitute on that one).
Yet Serbian director Emir Kusturica, who last collaborated with Depp on the underrated and under-seen Arizona Dream 16 years ago, is holding off production of his latest, titled Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers, until 2011 in order for Depp to play the title role. According to Variety, the ...
Johnny Depp Goes Spanish In "Pancho Villa"
Dark Horizons - General Feed —
Johnny Depp is in advanced negotiations to star as Mexican revolutionary hero Pancho Villa in the Spanish-language biopic "Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers" reports Variety.
Based on James Carlos Blake's biographical novel, the story follows the early 20th-century bandit who became a guerilla fighter and a hero to the poor and later an iconic historical figure.
Depp will act in Spanish in the film, as will Salma Hayek who is also in advanced talks to co-star
Gordan Mihic adapted the script and Serbian director Emir Kusturica is set to helm, but filming won't begin until 2011 due to Depp's busy schedule.
Johnny Depp To Play Pancho Villa
BuzzSugar —
Johnny Depp is in talks to star in an upcoming biopic of Pancho Villa, titled Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers. Villa was a Mexican Robin Hood of sorts, a thief to the rich and hero to the poor. I can easily see Depp in this part, but here's the twist - he'll be acting in Spanish.
Depp can pretty much ...

Johnny Depp In Pancho Villa And The Woman With Six Fingers Johnny Depp is in negotiations to play Pancho Villa.

Variety says the Pancho Villa movie in question is a biopic called Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers . According to my sources this may be the coolest title for a biopic ever. Wait, yes, Ive just confirmed it. This is indeed the coolest ever title for a biopic. Take that Walk the Line ...
Johnny Depp Circles 'Pancho Villa' Biopic
The Playlist —
[image] Johnny Depp is in "advanced negotiations" to join Emir Kusturica 's " Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers ," a biopic about the famous revolutionary. Depp, who previously worked with Kusturica on the excellent and underrated " Arizona Dream " way back in 1993, would play the lead role, and would act in Spanish. Depp's " Desperado " co-star, Salma Hayek , is being courted for a role as well, probably as the six fingered woman. The film, scripted by longtime Kusturica collaborator Gordan Mihic , is an adaptation of the novel " The Friends of Pancho Villa " by James Carlos Blak in which "Villa and his compadres had a ...

The Spanish language movie (yes, Depp will act in Spanish) is being directed by Emir Kusturica, a Serbian filmmaker who has some Cannes glory in his past (try and find his film Underground ). Depp and Kusturica worked together on Arizona Dream , a movie I can't say I've seen. Salma Hayek is also in talks to star in the movie, which is being adapted from James Carlos Blake's novel The Friends of Pancho Villa , which Variety says recounts how Villa and his compadres had a great time fighting and robbing the ...
ROBERT DUVALL IS SPANISH, JOHNNY DEPP MEXICAN
FilmDrunk —
Jesus, I spent way too long trying to make that Photoshop work and it totally wasn’t worth it. Kind of like your parents’ marriage. Anyway, story is that Collider has the scoop that Terry Gilliam wants Robert Duvall to play Don Quixote in his famously cursed Don Quixote movie. The film’s still in the process of securing financing, but it sounds like director and star are in agreement. Meanwhile, Variety reports that Johnny Depp is in negotiations to play Pancho Villa in “Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers.”
The Spanish-language biopic is to be shot partly in Mexico, where Villa — an early 20th-century bandit who became a guerilla fighter and a hero to the poor — is an iconic ...
Depp in talks for SEVEN FRIENDS OF PANCHO VILLA AND THE WOMAN WITH SIX FINGERS
We Are Movie Geeks —
Johnny Depp is in talks to start in the Pancho Villa biopic which is being helmed by Emir Kusturica. If they come to an agreement the film will start shooting in 2011 due to Depp’s previous commitments(PIRATES 4?). The script has been completed by Gordan Mihic, so everything is essentially just waiting on the man himself.
I think this would be a tremendous role for Depp to really show off his acting chops which we have all seen many times before. Not sure about the ridiculously long name though, but with Depp in, you are almost guaranteed a hit. Thanks to Variety for the heads up.
Johnny Depp to Star in Pancho Villa Biopic with a Long Title
Film School Rejects —
Serbian director Emir Kusturica is ready to make a movie about Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa. He’s given it a ridiculously long title — Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers (dear God, I hope they change that) — and he’s out on the town, looking for talent. Luckily, he appears to have found some major talent in the likes of Johnny Depp and Salma Hayek.
According to Variety, Depp is in “advanced negotiations” to star as Pancho Villa. He would join a legion of actors who have played the iconic revolutionary (who oddly, ...

Depp & Hayek might do Pancho Villa
KillerFilm —
Johnny Depp and Salma Hayek are both in talks for possibly being in Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers. That is a rather long title for a shorter titled novel adaptation that’s originally called The Friends of Pancho Villa that was written by James Carlos Blake. Depp is looking into being Pancho Villa, the title character in this picture. The Spanish-language biopic is to be shot partly in Mexico, where Villa — an early 20th-century bandit who became a guerilla fighter and a hero to the poor — is an iconic historical figure (Variety). If Depp does get accepted for the role, ...
Johnny Depp Will Be Pancho Villa for Director Emir Kusturica
/Film —
When I see that Johnny Depp is in talks to play Pancho Villa in Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers, I don’t get terribly interested. Then I see that the film is planned as a Spanish language production, and that Depp would act in Spanish. Finally, there’s the director: Emir Kusturica, who directed Depp in Arizona Dream, one of the actor’s early feature starring roles. (An odd piece of film that, I think, has never had a proper DVD release in North America.)
With all those details in place, the project is a lot more ...

Whether you consider Poncho Villa a criminal, a Robin Hood, or "Quick Draw McGraw's sidekick?", his story is undoubtedly an intriguing one (and one I won't go into in detail here, because that would require a lot of research to fill in my fuzzy notions of anything he did). The important thing is Poncho Villa is a pretty good story, and thus our premier Mexican actor, Johnny Depp, will be portraying the man on screen alongside Salma Hayek: ...

Johnny Depp Might Take on Pancho Villa
Latino Review —
... Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers is based on the novel The Friends of Pancho Villa, a biographical novel by James Carlos Blake that recounts both Villa's life as a fight and as a lover.
If Depp were to sign on to the role, filming wouldn't begin 2011 thanks to his prior film commitments. Kusturica will also be hard at work filming Cool Water, a black comedy about a Palestinian stripper who returns home when her father dies.

Johnny Depp as Pancho Villa?
Total Film News —
Johnny Depp is in advanced talks to star in a biopic focusing on Mexican bandit Pancho Villa. The somewhat hilariously titled Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers will lens in 2011, once Depp's other projects have cleared the way. According to Variety, the film will be shot in Spanish. You can't say Depp isn't up for a challenge, but considering his shaky mastery of accents (From Hell's mockney horror, anyone?) we're actually a little worried about this, but clearly he's confident enough to give it a go. The film is based on the novel The Friends ...
