Are they still friends or is this project being stopped for some kind of reason ?
From Entertainment website
Given these two enthusiasms, it was perhaps only a matter of time before Mr. Depp got round to making a documentary about Mr. Richards, which is exactly what he is now in the process of doing. “It’s coming along great,” says the actor of his second directing gig, after 1997’s drama, The Brave. “Any time that he’s got a minute, any time I’ve got a minute. We’ve done one, let’s say, installment that was fairly intense. We shot for a few days, and we got 35 hours of footage. That’s me and Keith sitting and talking in a room that’s very, you know, apropos of Keith. We’re sitting on couches, having a drink, and talking.”

In addition to the interview footage, the as-yet untitled film will also contain performance material featuring Richards, members of his band, the X-Pensive Winos, and famous guests. “We had Patti Smith, which was miraculous, we had Norah Jones, and I think there’s going to be a few more,” says Depp, “I think we’ve probably got two more installments [to film] and then we’ll start cutting it together.”

The documentary will be the third movie collaboration between Depp and Richards. The pair both appeared in 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and will reunite in the forthcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. “It was perfection!” says Depp of working with Richards on the latter project, which is due out May 20.

Although the Richards documentary has no release date as yet, Depp says the film will definitely get a theatrical run of some sort. That would befit a movie which was shot by Pirates cinematographer Dariusz Wolski and which, according to Depp, looks like a “a cross between The Godfather and a painting by (famed 17th century Italian artist) Caravaggio. It’s really something to see Keith in that atmosphere.”

For more about On Stranger Tides, and all the rest of the stuff you’ll be watching, hearing, and reading in 2011, pick up the new 2011 Preview! issue of Entertainment Weekly, which hits stands today.

10 years later the film still hasn't surfaced, and seems likely it never will.

Think it was Ian McLagan who said
that for the doco Keith wrote and performed
a country song very much in the style of a Louvin Bros number



ROCKMAN

Yeah doubt well see the doco
something musta gone wrong in the camp ...



ROCKMAN

It was indeed Mac (RIP) who said that.

[abcnewsradioonline.com]

Presumably the song was "Robbed Blind", which later appeared on 'Crosseyed Heart'.

Hey yeah thats it ....Fanks johnny ....



ROCKMAN

And its content will then be as exact as in the 'Life' book .... (facts fiction)

I would love to see this project be released . Johnny Depp has a cool commercial out now for Sauvage -The New Elixir , as he is rocking what looks like to be a metal front Les Paul type instrument and he has a wall of amps and some wolves and he is laying down some taste licks ! Sure can play !

If there's a lot of original footage of Keith in the movie, presumably Johnny Depp would need his permission to use it and if there has been a falling out, then he probably isn't going to get that. Pity.

If he plays that "Wild Thing" riff himself (which I tend to doubt, at least in this commercial).

Regarding the movie - I guess that Johnny and Keith had a serious argument.
Nobody had seen or heard of them doing something together for years.

Wild Thing is so easy to play and plus Johnny Depp is in the Hollywood Vampires . So he does know his way around a guitar .

the bromance was a horrible narcism trip for both of them and I applaud Keith for recognizing that and getting off

Keith is just being himself . I am sure they will probably reconnect when the next Pirates movie starts filming .

Johnny Depp has been cancelled in Hollywood

It was filmed at a time when Keith was not necessarily in a great place ? Maybe best not shown

I doubt Keith wants to have any connections with someone who is violent towards women.

In 2013 it was said: "Johnny Depp has finally finished filming a documentary about rock legend Keith Richards after four years of hard work" - [www.Express.co.uk] .

In 2018 it was said: "Depp tells me, he’s halfway done with a Keith Richards documentary which is tentatively titled 'Happy' " - [www.RollingStone.com] .


From the above article by the Express:

"Actually, it's a little strange to call it a documentary, it's more an opportunity to experience Keith - as people don't get to see him because he's quite a mysterious being. Essentially it's Keith and I sitting around having a conversation and what it boils down to is his wisdom and his philosophy and his experiences - and that would be cut with footage of his life."

Keith didn't appear in the last film, 2017's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales".

Hollywood and Johnny Depp tired of each other. The Kentucky actor somehow has a pretentious accent, ala Madonna in Londown. Netflix released a more recent documentary on Richards. Maybe that was Keith's way of deep sixing the Depp effort.

besides brian

but i understand what you mean

i like a lot of depp's films but the man himself is a bit of a scumbag

maybe keith kinda noticed that or was witness to that side of him and decided he had enough of people like him and decided to cut ties

still i'd love to see the footage he shot
