Following a less than stellar opening at the US Box Office, Johnny Depp has sprung to the defence of his latest movie, The Rum Diary. The Rum Diary, starring Depp, Aaron Eckhart, and Giovanni Ribisi made only 5 million dollars in it’s opening weekend.
The actor told Bang Showbiz: "It's always a crapshoot, and really if you have that in your head while you're making a movie, the process would become something very different.
"No, I couldn't give a rat's arse [about the money], not really. I believe that this film, regardless of what it makes in, you know, Wichita, Kansas, this week - which is probably about $13 - it doesn't make any difference."
"I believe that this film will have a shelf life," he insists. "I think it will stick around and people will watch it and enjoy it.
"It's something that will be more appreciated over here [in Europe], I think. Because it's - well, I think it's an intelligent film. And a lot of times, outside the big cities in the States, they don't want that."
