Spanish actress Penélope Cruz and American actor Johnny Depp will star together in the movie "Day Drinker," an action thriller directed by Marc Webb, known for his work on "The Amazing Spider-Man." This project marks the return of both actors, who have previously shared the screen in films such as "Blow" (2001), "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (2011), and "Murder on the Orient Express" (2017).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate will handle the international distribution of the film, which will be showcased at the American Film Market in Las Vegas from November 5 to 10. This film is one of the most significant projects in which Depp is involved in Hollywood since his highly publicized divorce from Amber Heard.
In "Day Drinker," the plot revolves around two characters who end up connecting in unexpected ways: one works at a cruise ship bar and the other is a daytime drinker. Initially, the lead female role was intended for Sydney Sweeney, but it ultimately went to Penélope Cruz, who teams up with Depp to bring this intriguing world created by Webb to life.
Adam Fogelson, president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, stated in a release that "Day Drinker" combines a highly commercial concept with dramatic twists, and he highlighted the suitability of Webb, Depp, and Cruz to bring this story to life. The project, announced in March, promises to be a thriller full of emotions and surprises.
In summary, "Day Drinker" represents a new collaboration between Penélope Cruz and Johnny Depp in an action thriller directed by Marc Webb, with Lionsgate in charge of international distribution. This project promises to intrigue audiences with a plot that connects two characters in unexpected ways, making this film one of the most anticipated projects in Hollywood.
