It looks like Johnny Depp's return to Hollywood after last year's turbulent defamation trail against ex-wife Amber Heard will begin in France.
The Cannes Film Festival announced Wednesday that "Jeanne du Barry," starring the divisive "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor, will open this year's lineup. Directed by and starring French actor Maiwenn in the titular role, "Jeanne du Barry" is a historical drama that follows the life of a working-class woman who quickly becomes the lover of King Louis XV, played by Depp.
"Jeanne du Barry" will make its world premiere at Cannes on May 16 at the Grand Theatre Lumiere, the festival said. The film, Maiwenn's sixth feature, will also be released in French theaters the same day.
