Depp will be surrounded by a talented cast onscreen, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwoodandhollywood.com\/pop-culture-spin\/2015\/02\/23\/2015-oscars-results-recap\/\">Benedict Cumberbatch<\/a>, Joel Edgerton, Kevin Bacon, and Dakota Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>The film is based on the true story of Bulger, who wasn&#8217;t just a criminal, but also an FBI informant. It&#8217;s been stated that he became an FBI informant in order to take down a rival Mafia family trying to take over his turf. If that&#8217;s not badass, I don&#8217;t know what is. So far, judging from the trailer, Depp looks like a psychotic bulldog. Look for this to be Depp&#8217;s comeback film.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CE3e3hGF2jc[\/youtube]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johnny Depp is taking a nice break from playing quirky characters, as he&#8217;s flexing his acting chops once again to play Whitey Bulger, the most infamous, violent criminal in South Boston.
