Depp does INXS?

Realizing our unflinching love for all things Johnny Depp, Paul from over at "The Hollywood News" informed us that producers of the upcoming biopic of INXS frontman Michael Hutchence are looking to the Deppster to star as the Australian rock star. Producers are further looking to round out the cast with an ambitious list of names that include Eric Bana, Sienna Miller, Naomi Watts, Eva Green, Patsy Kensit, Hayden Christensen, Stephen Rea, Joss Ackland, Rachel Griffiths, and Julie Walters. The film, which has a working title of SLIDE AWAY (references an INXS-U2 duet) is under director Nick Egan, who directed a lot of INXS's more popular videos, and contrary to the rumor that has recently surfaced, Hutchence's father is not upset about the film and is cooperating with the production through Hutchence's Trust. What do you guys think about this? Read the rest of the report over HERE. Depp can next be seen having a swashbuckling good time in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST.
