Say That... Johnny Depp to play hero in movie version of 'The Ginger Man' novel "Mr [Johnny] Depp is something else. He is very bright, extremely intelligent, and very knowledgeable." This is how author of the acclaimed novel 'The Ginger Man' J. P. Dunleavy described the US superstar actor after he met him in New York recently. Depp is set to play one of the most famous characters in Irish fiction - Sebastian Dangerfield - and take over the hero's role in the first ever film version of the 'The Ginger Man.' Dunleavy rejected repeated attempts by Hollywood to make a film version of his book, which has sold between 40 and 50 million copies worldwide and been translated into 18 languages. His change of heart is said to be related to the casting of Depp, who greatly impressed him. 'The Ginger Man' was first published in Paris in 1955 and was originally banned in the United States because it was considered pornographic. In Ireland the stage play version had to be halted after three performances in 1959 due to opposition from the Catholic hierarchy. Brooklyn-born Dunleavy's classic first novel tells the wildly funny tale of a feckless, womanising American demobbed soldier supposedly studying law in Trinity College Dublin after the Second World War. Its hero Dangerfield is a scoundrel with an insatiable appetite for women, liquor and roguishness, which he satisfies it with great energy and charm. In the movie version singer/songwriter Shane McGowan will appear as Irish author Brendan Behan. J. P. Dunleavy Quotes News Files |
