The Libertine
It looks like The Weinstein Company are trying
to keep the updates coming at a rate of one a day for their upcoming film
The Libertine
starring Johnny Depp.
First we had a trailer, then we had a poster, and now we have movie stills.
Libertine Movie Stills
Johnny Depp stars in The Libertine as
the scandalously decadent John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester. The
film follows the Earl's adventures in London, from his passionate romance
with a young actress, Elizabeth Barry (Samantha Morton), to the writing
of a scurrilous play which blisteringly and bawdily lampoons the very monarch
who commissioned it, Charles II (John Malkovich), leading to the Earl's
banishment and eventual downfall.

The Libertine
Laurence Dunmore makes an assured directorial debut,
creating a period atmosphere that combines the dark debauched underbelly
of London with the allure and glamour of the Restoration court.
The Libertine comes to theatres on November 23, 2005.
