Johnny Depp presents City of lies, a film that was "kidnapped"
(Deauville) Johnny Depp presented Sunday evening at the Deauville festival City of lies which narrates the investigation into the death of rapper Notorious BIG, a film that was "kidnapped" for several years according to the American actor.
"I am very honored to be invited and we are very proud of this film, kidnapped for three years, because there were people [...] in Hollywood... For three years the film was dead. We found the film, "explained the actor in a somewhat hesitant French, in reference to the difficulties of broadcasting the film. Presented on Sunday for the first time in France, this feature film, produced in 2018, has not found a distributor for a theatrical release.
City of lies takes the viewer to the 1990s and the shot deaths of two of America's greatest rappers, Tupac and Notorious BIG, against the backdrop of the musical rivalry between the West Coast and the East Coast of the United States.
Inspector Russell Poole, played by Johnny Depp, dives back into this case twenty years after the murder after an alcoholic journalist, Forest Whitaker, solicited him. Mixing fiction and some archival images, the film shows an investigation sloppy by the Los Angeles police, gangrenous by corruption, and infiltrated by gangs including that of powerful rap producer Suge Knight.
The film directed by Brad Furman brings more questions than answers about the circumstances of the murder while the culprits of the two homicides have never been found.
Throughout the day, Johnny Depp, 58, was able to measure that his popularity rating was intact with his French fans while a recent judicial saga opposed him to a tabloid against a background of accusations of domestic violence.
About 300 people participated in a meeting with the actor, whose third appearance at the Normandy festival after 2001 and 2019. Many admirers of the actor, mostly women, tried to snatch an autograph from him.
Asked about the reasons for his love for France, Johnny Depp triggered the viva of the festival-goers in the projection room by answering: "people, culture, happiness, the appreciation of each day... Every day is adoration, every day is a celebration and I only find that in France and so thank you for that! ".
