Johnny Depp Is Adapting A Classic Work Of Russian Literature, And I'm So Here For It

Johnny Depp as Edward Ratchett in Murder on the Orient Express.

One thing I definitely did not expect to see news about today was an announcement that Johnny Depp plans to adapt the classic Soviet-era book The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. According to a new report, the book-to-screen adaptation could begin filming next year with Depp producing and possibly starring in it. It’s a bold choice for anyone to try to adapt this wonderful novel, but it’s one of my favorite books, and I can’t wait to see it play out in a film.
