Turin, Johnny Depp visiting the National Cinema Museum

Johnny Depp is in Turin these daysfor the filming of the movie on Modigliani in which he is one of the great protagonists, and during his stay in the city he indulged in a visit to the National Museum of Cinema, where the exhibition dedicated to the director who made him an icon of international cinema, namely Tim Burton , is underway (the exhibition, entitled The World of Tim Burton, is on until April 7).

It was a private visit for the American actor, who was welcomed by President Enzo Ghigo, Vice President Gabriele Molinari, Councilor Alessandro Bollo, and Director Domenico De Gaetano. According to the museum in a brief note, Depp was particularly moved by the original letter in which Tim Burton proposed some changes to the actor’s lines in the film The Chocolate Factory, in which Depp played the lead role of Willy Wonka, so much so that he took a live photo and sent it to the director himself. Nor could there be any shortage of positive comments about the sketches for Edward Scissorhands, one of the most famous films in which Burton and Depp collaborated.

The visit ended with a climb to the top of the Mole Antonelliana (home of the National Cinema Museum), with the panoramic elevator that, to Depp, closely reminded him of the very one in the film The Chocolate Factory.
