Depp Buys Up Book Rights

Johnny Depp is such a fan of author GREGORY DAVID ROBERTS, he has snapped up the rights to star in a new story the writer has yet to complete.

The movie star has reportedly bought the movie rights for Roberts' working title SHANTARAM: A NOVEL, in which he hopes to play the lead character - an Australian who escapes from prison and finds salvation in the slums of India.
