Johnny Depp's comeback movie Jeanne du Barry secures a US release after the French period drama enjoyed a massive debut at the Cannes Film Festival.
After a warm reception at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Johnny’s Depp’s comeback movie Jeanne du Barry has secured a North American release after landing a domestic distribution deal. A French period drama centered on the life of King Louis XV’s titular mistress, Jeanne du Barry served as Depp’s first on-screen role since he won his highly publicized defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Now The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that U.S. audiences will get their own chances to view the film for themselves thanks to a new domestic distribution deal with Vertical. At this stage the particulars surrounding Jeanne du Barry’s North American release, including theatrical options, have not been confirmed.
What Jeanne du Barry Means For Johnny Depp’s Hollywood Career First coming into the public eye off the back of his roles in A Nightmare of Elm Street and the popular undercover police drama 21 Jump Street, Depp would famously rail against the teen heartthrob label he was initially saddled with.
Once referred to as persona non grata in Hollywood circles, Cannes’ embrace of Depp’s role in Jeanne du Barry marks a significant step forward in the ongoing rehabilitation and restoration of the actor’s tarnished public image. However, as a French-language film, Jeanne du Barry’s potential impact on North American viewers will likely be far less widespread than the audience appeal he enjoyed before he was plagued by recent controversies.
