Johnny Depp Teams Up with Sydney Sweeney for 'Day Drinker' Thriller

Actors Johnny Depp and Sydney Sweeney are teaming up for the supernatural thriller "Day Drinker," to be directed by Marc Webb. The film, scripted by Zach Dean, will delve into the dynamics between an enigmatic stranger, played by Depp, and a bartender portrayed by Sweeney, who is grieving the loss of her lover. Set against the backdrop of coastal France, Portugal, and Spain, the story is expected to weave elements of love, friendship, and revenge.

This project represents a significant role for Depp since his highly publicized legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard in 2021. Depp's involvement in the potential reboot of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise remains uncertain, with reports suggesting he may not return to his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow.

While the production timeline and release date for "Day Drinker" have not been confirmed, anticipation for the film builds as it marks a convergence of Depp's return to major roles and Sweeney's rising career trajectory, following her performances in the film "Immaculate" and the series "Euphoria." Further details about the movie are expected to be announced in the near future.
