Washington Washington. Hollywood stars Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz are reuniting for “Day Drinker,” a thriller from Lionsgate. Marc Webb, who helmed “500 Days of Summer” and the two “Amazing Spider-Man” movies starring Andrew Garfield is set to direct the upcoming film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Day Drinker” is the story of a cruise ship bartender who meets a mysterious day drinker. The two soon find themselves entangled in a criminal's web and become connected in unexpected ways.
The film marks the fourth collaboration between Depp and Cruise after “Blow”, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “Murder on the Orient Express”. Chelsea Kujawa is overseeing the project for Lionsgate. Dan Friedman negotiated the deal for the studio. It is also Depp's most high-profile project in recent memory, following several controversies stemming from his highly publicized divorce from “Aquaman” actor Amber Heard. His directorial debut “Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness” recently premiered at the Rome Film Festival. Cruise was last seen in the 2023 sports drama “Ferrari”.
