“What made you want to tell this story?“Lozano consulted,” Depp friendly explained. “One day the phone rang and it was Al Pacino (imitating Pacino’s voice) and he said, ‘I think you need to direct a movie about Modigliani.'” I didn’t understand what he was saying, but I said, “Yes.” Some say yes to Al Pacino! And it turned out to be a great idea! It was an epiphany and a blessing in disguise for me,” the actor and director said of his latest project.
“How did Riccardo (Scamarcio) come to embody the role of Modi?” the communicator continued. “I’m not a fan of casting. I want the actors to have a kind of intuition and feel something. We had a meeting and candidates were presented to me. I saw a picture of this guy and I knew he was the right person to play him,” Depp revealed.
Scamarcio commented on what his first virtual meeting with the coach was like. “I was told I would have a Zoom with Depp at 7, and at 6 it was postponed to 10. I had to drive my daughter from Rome to southern Italy, so I had to stop at a gas station to use Zoom.” I asked the guy at the gas station to give me a private room so I could have some privacy.

You just have to give 100 percent of your heart,” she added of developing the role.
About the shooting of Modigliani, 3 days in MontparnasseDepp said it lasted about two months and maintained a great working environment, adding, “We were always tempted.

“If I were a doctor, I would recommend them,” Depp added with a laugh, referring to the film, which depicts three intense days in the life of Italian painter Amadeo Modigliani in Paris in 1916. “For me, this was an opportunity to look back on three days in an artist’s life, where there are many turning points, and talk about his passion and reason for living. If you don’t have a purpose, you lose motivation and wither away. I don’t like the word ambition, but I like to have fun, and there are not many rules in movies, there is passion and fun, and maybe I’m a weirdo, I might even be accused of being a weirdo… It’s been a very strange and bizarre journey,” he concluded with a laugh.
