Rome Film Fest To Honor Johnny Depp With Lifetime Achievement Award

Buy Me A Coffee

Johnny Depp is about to get a shiny new award for his trophy shelf (because why not?), and it’s kind of a big deal.

The 61-year-old swashbuckling superstar—yes, the one who’s basically the human version of eyeliner—will be showered with a lifetime achievement honor at the 2024 Rome Film Fest. Mark your calendars, because this celebration of all things Depp will take place between October 16 and 27. Maybe pack a pirate hat for the occasion.

But wait, there’s more! He’s not just showing up to awkwardly accept an award and mumble a thank you. Oh no. Johnny’s also unveiling his latest masterpiece of a movie, Modi – Three Days on the Wing of Madness. Spoiler alert: it’s not about a guy’s three-day bender after wing-eating madness, though that would’ve been epic. Instead, it’s about the life of artist Amedeo Modigliani, which sounds artsy and deep, set in the very chill, totally-not-chaotic 1916 Paris. It’s making its world premiere at the 2024 San Sebastián Film Festival because, of course, it is.

Now, despite some juicy legal drama involving his ex Amber Heard back in the U.S., Johnny remains a cinematic golden child in Europe. It’s like the continent took a collective “no drama, just art” stance. He’s so beloved that he even opened the 2023 Cannes Film Festival with Jeanne du Barry, because nothing says “artistic credibility” like a movie title that sounds like a fancy French pastry.

But Johnny’s not the only big name getting love at the Rome Film Fest. Viggo Mortensen, who you might remember as the guy with fantastic hair in The Lord of the Rings, is also set to receive some accolades. Not to be outdone, Francis Ford Coppola—yes, The Godfather himself—will be there too. They’re all bringing their own movies to the party. Viggo’s got The Dead Don’t Hurt, and Coppola’s bringing Megalopolis, which probably involves huge ideas and metaphors none of us are smart enough to get.

So, if you’re into artsy films, epic facial hair, and a bit of celebrity drama with your popcorn, the 2024 Rome Film Fest is your place to be. Who knows? Maybe Johnny will show up in full pirate costume. One can only dream.
