Depp, 59, plays King Louis XV in Jeanne Du Barry, directed and starring French actress and director Maiwenn Le Besco, known as Maiwenn, as the French courtesan Madame du Barry who climbed the social ladder at Versailles to become the king’s favourite.
Critics highlighted the lush look of the film, which received funding from Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Foundation as part of a total estimated budget of US$22.4 million - but said it lacked a pulse. “Even the casting - some would say stunt casting - of Johnny Depp as the king offers a few early thrills and then mostly yawns,” wrote The Hollywood Reporter.
The French-language film, which does not yet have a release date for North America, marks the start of a comeback for the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor, who has made few film or TV appearances since his trial concluded in June 2022. Depp was handed a near-total victory by a United States jury in his defamation fight with former wife and actress Amber Heard, with jurors awarding him more than US$10 million in damages.
