Metalwork Pictures’ Minamata stars Johnny Depp as celebrated war photographer W. Eugene Smith in a redemptive thriller that is being called a real-life David versus Goliath story.
Minamata began shooting in January of this year, with Johnny Depp set to play famed War photographer W. Eugene Smith.
It depicts Johnny Depp in photographer mode as he channels W. Eugene Smith surrounded by the Japanese locals in Minamata.
With the glory days of World War II far behind him W. Eugene Smith (Depp) has become a recluse, disconnected from society and his career.
