Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a nice little tease at the upcoming Johnny Depp/John Malkovich flick LIBERTINE. The dialogue reported below sounds very fitting for Mr. Depp... kinda makes me think of a slight mix of Hunter Thompson and Jack Sparrow. And there's also graphic man-kissing, so what else could you possibly need? Check it out!!!
Okay, from extras on the set comes this first, second and third bits. The fourth is also from a report.
1.Rupert Friend, a young British actor, plays a young male character (actor is about 21) who kisses Johnny Depp's character - nothing more know about 'the kiss,' but Depp's character, John Wilmot, was the Libertine the movie is based on, and his poetry suggests he liked young men more than women as he matured.
2.In one scene, Depp's character walks into the House of Lords and spies an adversary. The Lord shouts 'Coward!' really loudly at Wilmot, to which Wilmot (Depp) paused, turned to the Lord, move up extremely close to him, then said, "My Lord, you cut me down I must confess, but in your mouth, my balls must rest," all the while running one of his two canes up the inside of his adversary's thigh.
3.By the end of the film, Wilmot is suffering from syphilis. Depp's face is coated in ripped latex to emulate the skin of people with the disease, a nose plate made of silver, and one eye with a milky-colored contact lense
4. Anyone who knows the story of Wilmot will be aware of the painting he had commissioned in which he is seen posing with a monkey (see THIS LINK) which served to infuriate Elizabeth Malet (Wilmot's long-suffering wife). The painting has been re-done in the image of our Johnny for the film. I do not have a photo of that, but a simulation I created and here is that link.
