Descrizione:

By all accounts Johnny Depp was late for the City Of Lies red carpet so when he did arrive he was rushed through to the photo call, press zone and then into the building to present the film and take some official photos of the occasion. Johnny then returned to the fans waiting on the red carpet and spent a considerable time patiently chatting, signing and taking photos.

FROM THE DAILY MAIL:

Here's Johnny! Cheerful Depp returns to the red carpet at the 47th Deauville Film Festival... as he is cleared to proceed with $50 million defamation suit against Amber Heard

By JASON CHESTER

Johnny Depp was centre of attention for all the right reasons on Sunday evening as he attended a screening of his latest film at the 47th Deauville Film Festival in France.

The beleaguered Hollywood star, 58, was back in the spotlight following a high-profile and highly acrimonious libel battle against British newspaper The Sun and ongoing legal proceedings with ex-wife Amber Heard.

However the negativity that has surrounded Depp over recent months did little to deter his die-hard fans as they gathered for a glimpse of the fabled American actor in northwestern France.

Depp was on hand to promote City Of Lies, a retrospective drama based on the unsolved murder of '90s rap giants Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G, out of competition at this year's ceremony.

Greeting onlookers with a disarming wave, the enigmatic star looked delighted to be back on a red carpet after a year beset by court action and the rapid global spread of COVID-19.

Between obligatory photo opportunities Depp ensured there was time to chat with fans and oblige them with autographs ahead of his latest screening.

The much-delayed City Of Lies first premiered in 2018, out of competition, at the Noir in Festival in Italy.

It received a limited release in Italy and was initially intended to be released in the US in September 2018, before being hit with delays and ultimately getting a release across streaming platforms in March.

The film offers its own version of events into the drive-by shooting of Christopher Wallace - better known as the Notorious B.I.G - in 1997.

Depp plays a retired detective who is convinced the crooked Los Angeles Police Department played a part in the rapper’s murder.

City Of Lies is directed by Brad Furman and based on the book, LAByrinth, by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Randall Sullivan.

The appearance comes after Depp was cleared by a court to proceed with a $50 million defamation suit against Amber Heard.

Last month, a Virginia judge ruled that he can proceed with the litigation, based on a 2018 Washington Post op-ed she penned saying she was a domestic violence survivor.

She did not mention Depp in the story, though she publicly accused him of abusing her in their 2016 split.

The actor is trying to clear his name after losing a defamation suit against The Sun after the paper branded him a 'wife-beater' amid allegations of domestic abuse.

His suit, filed in Fairfax County, Virginia, accuses Heard of creating a 'hoax' account; Heard had requested the libel suit against her, filed in March 2019, be thrown out, claiming the ruling in the UK case should swing any new cases in her favour because they both relate to domestic abuse allegations against Johnny.

But Judge Penny Azcarate ruled the statements made by The Sun and Amber were 'inherently different.'
