Not content with being the one Mad Hatter in "Alice in Wonderland»Nor a gangster in«Public Enemies«, Or return with«Pirates of the Caribbean 4«, Now the producer of Johnny Depp, Infinitum Nihil, acquired the rights to bring to the big screen the novel «Dante's manuscript"(Hand of dante) by Nich Tosches.
The story describes that in a secret chamber of the Vatican library they discover a manuscript of «The Divine Comedy«, Written by Dante himself. The author of the book himself includes himself as a fictional character who recounts the violent efforts of various gangsters to seize the treasure.
And the novel divides its plot into two times and places: XNUMXth century Italy, where Dante wrote his brilliant book; and the New York of the XNUMXst century, where several murders take place that in one way or another are connected to the manuscript.
Apparently, Depp will reserve the role of the protagonist.
