The Libertine
Though I am not exactly sure, but it looks like the final trailer for the upcoming pic The Libertine is one of the first to show off a polished Weinstein Company logo. However, besides the logo, The Libertine looks like one of those films that require you to take a long shower after watching it; sadists and perverts unite!
Libertine Movie Trailer
Johnny Depp loves playing different characters on ends of the spectrum and his role as John Wilmot is no different. Depp, who claims that his character does not want to be liked, looks dark, mean, and dirty while carrying a sexual libido that would make Michael Douglas look gay.
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.
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.
