Oh well, guess it was too good to be true. Back in July it looked like Johnny Depp was set to be a part of Wes Anderson's next film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, but it turns out that won't be the case. Actually, it might not have ever been the case based on what Anderson had to say on the subject....
Anderson: "You know, the Internet has a way of announcing things on its own [laughs]. You will find that even though I'm very aware of the cast that has been announced on its own devices, you'll never find me saying who's in the movie. Or, as far as I know, anybody else."
Ok, so the internet gets ahead of itself sometimes. But what about Depp?
Anderson: "In fact, Johnny is somebody who I would love to work with at some point, but he's not going to be in this movie. But I actually have not put the cast out -- I have not announced the cast. We have quite a great cast."
That "great cast" so far includes Bill Murray, Angela Lansbury, Jude Law, and likely Owen Wilson. Others rumored to be in the mix are Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Edward Norton, and Jeff Goldblum. With filming set to begin in Germany before long, we'll likely hear more concrete news soon.[HuffPo]
