Johnny Depp is to play Satan in a new film directed by Terry Gilliam – opposite Jeff Bridges as God, it has been revealed.
In an interview with Premiere magazine, Gilliam said that he had cast Depp in his next project, entitled The Carnival at the End of Days. Gilliam had previously pitched publicly for Depp, describing the film while appearing at the Red Sea film festival in December as: “God wipes out humanity and the only character who wants to save them is Satan, and Johnny Depp plays Satan.”
