Johnny Depp is set to direct his first film in 25 years, about an artist who died broke. The actor, 59, is making a movie about celebrated Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani alongside Al Pacino.

Depp is also producing the movie on the artist who died impoverished in 1920 aged 35, but became renowned for his masterpieces of nudes with elongated faces and limbs.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp has his friend Al Pacino, 82, already cast, after ‘The Godfather’ actor failed to get a Modigliani biopic directed by Martin Scorsese off the ground in the 1980s.

No other casting details have been announced, but as Modigliani died at the age of 35 it is unlikely either actor will be playing the artist unless they intend to use de-ageing CGI as in Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Irishman’.
