Johnny Depp will try to make what’s being called a comeback attempt following his blockbuster trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, with his latest film, “Jeanne du Barry,” by French director Maïwenn opening the fest. The fest’s director. Thierry Fremaux, reportedly said of Depp’s presence at a recent press conference, “I don’t know about the image of Johnny Depp in the US… I’m the last person to be able to discuss all this. If there’s one person in the world who is not interested in this very mediatized process, it’s me. I don’t know what it’s about. I care about Johnny Depp as an actor.”
