Penélope Cruz To Star Opposite Johnny Depp In Lionsgate’s ‘Day Drinker’ 

Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz are set to reunite on the big screen in Lionsgate’s Day Drinker from director Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man), the studio announced this afternoon.

The project will be the pair’s fourth together, on the heels of Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Murder on the Orient Express.

The film watches as a cruise ship bartender meets a mysterious day drinker — only for both of them to find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly, and connected in unexpected ways.

Producers include Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee (John Wick franchise), Adam Kolbrenner, and Zach Dean, who wrote the original spec screenplay. 30West will exec produce the project, with Lionsgate launching international sales at AFM.

In a statement on the project, Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said, “Day Drinker combines a highly commercial concept with wildly outrageous twists and turns all set in an incredible world, and there is no better filmmaker than Marc or two more perfectly cast actors than Johnny and Penélope to bring that world to life.”
