Johnny Depp is producing a musical about Michael Jackson as told by his glove, which was actually a musician alien that feeds on virgin boy blood

[Quad Lasers]

I like how the writer's stupid rape glove idea was a compromise, but he still went with it.

Gotta love the glove.

 

[Deleted member 4292]

What the fuck.

Who comes up with these ideas?

 

[Jombie]

Fuck Johnny Depp. That's my nuanced take.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Imagine being a non native English speaker trying to make sense of that title lol.

 

[AnansiThePersona]

That's the most interesting thing I've ever read

 

[pillowtalk]

Finally. What took so long

Waiting for a movie version directed by John Waters.

I'm all for more transgressive media, but I can't help but think good ol' Johnny is taking the piss, or maybe he was high as a kite when he pitched this.

The writer (Nitzberg) came up with that idea and pitched it, Depp is "just" producing.

 

[FaceHugger]

Fuck it why not. We literally have an illiterate reality TV star as president of the United States. Why not this.

Why not kill me.

Dear lord.

 

[Deleted member 1589]

That sounds incredible

 

[Hesemonni]

Sounds about right.

I absolutely refuse to believe this title and OP weren't created by a neural network, fed exclusively with Weekend Era threads

 

[SlumberingGiant]

Sounds great. Will definitely watch.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

But why.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

The collective whole of humanity: "The 'Bohemian Rhapsody' people doing a docudrama about Michael Jackson has literally got to be the worst idea I've ever—"
Johnny Depp: *crashes through window* "Hey guys! Would you like to hear about the new musical I'm working on?"

 

[Kromeo]

What am I looking for? Something I can't see. I can feel it

 

[MrCibb]

I'm in.

 

[Deleted member 36708]

Can't make this shit up. 🤦🏾‍♂️

 

[Commedieu]

NSFW:

Spoiler

 

[CassCade]

Lol what the fuck, I would like some of Depp's drugs.

 

[Kasey]

I'll take that over a biopic that lionizes a pedo.

It wasn't Depp who pitched this. From the OP:

Nitzberg proposed a solution: "I said, how's this? Everything MJ has been accused of has actually been caused by his glove, which is actually an alien from outer space [and] feeds on virgin boy blood. They laughed and said, 'Can you do the normal version?'"

The playwright turned down the TV network's offer and decided to write the idea for the stage. Nitzberg began working with Depp's production company, Infinitum Nihil, on a biopic of 1960s one-hit wonder Tiny Tim.

Uh.

 

[Cocamantis]

Holy shit

 

[Deleted member 48897]

Horrifying

 

[EdibleKnife]

I, for one, am glad they came up with an offbeat, adorable way of addressing all those innocent young lives he destroyed.

Feel good film of the year.

 

[Prolepro]

sir, this is a wendy's

 

[Khanimus]

How many lines of coke do you have to get through to think this is a good idea?

 

[tsampikos]

aiming to capitalize off of other peoples misery I see

 

[GreatFenris]

...Is this why God abandoned us?

Click to shrink...

No, but this is why the Vorlons are going to planet-kill us.

As a sidenote, a Swedish tabloid rag had a fornt page about Depp the other day which showed him looking very coked up and exclaiming. "Depps friends fear for his safety! -This has gone far enough, he needs help!"
I can see why.
