Serbian director Emir Kusturica is in talks with Johnny Depp to star as the infamous Mexican revolutionary hero Pancho Villa.
The upcoming Spanish-language biopic is titled "Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers."
Kusturica wrote the script with his regular collaborator Gordan Mihic. The script is based on the biographical novel "The Friends of Pancho Villa," in which author James Carlos Blake recounts Villa’s wild days robbing the rich with his men.
Shooting would not start until 2011 due to Depp's prior workload. The film will be shot partly in Mexico.
According to Variety, Salma Hayek is in talks to co-star.
Depp starred in Kusturica’s indie film "Arizona Dream" in 1993 alongside Faye Dunaway and Jerry Lewis.
