Depp and Cruz Reunite in 'Day Drinker' Thriller

Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz are reuniting for the action thriller 'Day Drinker,' directed by Marc Webb. This film marks Depp's return to a major studio project after his defamation trial with Amber Heard, with Lionsgate handling international sales at the American Film Market. 'Day Drinker' follows a cruise ship bartender who becomes involved with a mysterious day drinker, leading them into a dangerous criminal underworld. This project represents Depp's attempt to revitalize his career following years of controversy, as noted by his previous appearances in non-commercial European films. The collaboration is the fourth for Depp and Cruz, who have previously starred together in 'Blow,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' and 'Murder on the Orient Express.' Both actors have spoken highly of each other, with Cruz publicly supporting Depp during his legal battles.
