www.bleedingcool.com/2014/05/27/johnny-depp-getting-ready-to-play-houdini-in-an-indiana-jones-style-adventure-movie/A great filmmaker could make a brilliant biopic of Harry Houdini, but it seems like nobody wants to try right now. Dean Parisot, director of Galaxy Quest, is readying a film about the great magician and escape artist, but the plans are for The Secret Life of Houdini to be an adventure film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is so detached from reality that folk are saying it will be “in the vein of Indiana Jones.” Something similar was planned for the Ripley’s Believe it or Not movie a few years back, and there was even a moment or two when Depp was linked to that film, but it didn’t come to pass. Anyway, there we go. Johnny Depp in period clothes, unpicking handcuffs faster than the eye can see and romancing woman in frilly dresses while he chases around after some Maguffin or another. It all seems quite box office friendly.
