Johnny Depp & Salma Hayek In-Talks To Star In Pancho Villa Biopic

Pancho Villa

The trades are reporting that universal star Johnny Depp (you know aliens love him too) and Salma Hayek are both in “advanced negotiations” to star in a new biopic based on the life of famed Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa. The film will be directed by Emir Kusturica, and will be called Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers.

Kusturica says that he and Gordan Mihic have completed the script, but the project isn’t set to begin until 2011 due to Depp’s obviously jam-packed schedule. The director, who hails from Bosnia, has mostly only done foreign films before, but he has also worked with Depp in the past on a 1993 film called Arizona Dreams that co-starred Jerry Lewis and Faye Dunaway.

Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers will concentrate on the tales of Villa and his men as they drank and bedded women and basically had a bunch of parties while often robbing the rich blind. It is based on James Carlos Blake‘s biography The Friends of Pancho Villa.

Villa has been portrayed by many different actors in many different movies over the years, including a few before his 1923 death. Perhaps even more surprisingly, the man himself even starred in four of them…playing Pancho Villa, of course.

  1. I think the proposed title of this movie is too short. Maybe adding a few words will help build buzz.

  2. I couldn’t agree more.

    Just a few more and they can beat Don’t be a Menace to South Central while Drinking your Juice in the Hood.
