Johnny Depp to receive Lifetime Achievement Award at Rome Film Festival

The actor will also debut his latest directorial project, "Modi – Three Days on the Wing of Madness."

Johnny Depp is set to make a triumphant return to Italy, where he will be celebrated with a prestigious lifetime achievement award at the 2024 Rome Film Festival. This recognition comes as a testament to his illustrious career as an actor, musician, and filmmaker.

In addition to the award, Depp will also unveil his latest directorial endeavor, "Modi – Three Days on the Wing of Madness." The film, which chronicles the life of artist Amedeo Modigliani in 1916 Paris, stars Riccardo Scamarcio, Al Pacino, and Antonia Desplat. It is expected to make its world premiere at the San Sebastián Film Festival before arriving in Rome.

This marks Depp's second major film festival appearance in recent years, following his opening of the Cannes Film Festival in 2023 with the French film "Jeanne du Barry." His presence at these prestigious events signals a continued international appeal and a growing recognition of his artistic contributions.

As Depp continues to navigate his career post-legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard, his appearances at these film festivals serve as a reminder of his enduring talent and his commitment to the world of cinema.
