Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz to Star in Lionsgate Film ‘Day Drinker’

Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz will star the upcoming action thriller “Day Drinker.” The project reunites the two actors, who have shared the screen in “Blow,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “Murder on the Orient Express.”

“Day Drinker” follows a cruise ship bartender who meets a mysterious day drinker—only for both of them to find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly, and connected in unexpected ways. Marc Webb (“The Amazing Spider-Man”) is directing for Lionsgate. The studio is launching international sales at AFM.

“’Day Drinker’ combines a highly commercial concept with wildly outrageous twists and turns all set in an incredible world, and there is no better filmmaker than Marc or two more perfectly cast actors than Johnny and Penélope to bring that world to life,” Adam Fogelson, Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group chair said.
