Black Mass

Can't wait to see Johnny Depp return to the big screen this autumn as he leads the cast in new gangster movie Black Mass - and he takes centre stage in the brand new poster.

The movie will explore the true story of infamous Boston criminal Whitey Bulger - played by Depp - and sees Scott Cooper back in the director's chair.

Cooper has already delivered movies such as Crazy Heart and Out of the Furnace, but this is the first time that the director has teamed up with Oscar nominated Depp.

A terrific cast has been assembled for the film, Benedict Cumberbatch will play Whitey's brother Bill Bulger, while Kevin Bacon, Juno Temple, Joel Edgerton, Corey Stoll, Peter Sarsgaard, and Dakota Johnson are also on board.

In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James 'Whitey' Bulger (Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob.

Black Mass tells the true story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.

We have seen Depp star in gangster movies Public Enemies and Donnie Brasco during his career, and I am looking forward to seeing him return to this genre of film.

Autumn 2015 is set to be a very exciting one if you are a film fan as there are a whole host of terrific movies on the horizon... Black Mass is one of them and one that you cannot miss!

Black Mass is released 13th November.
