Weird but true: “21 Jump Street” heartthrob Johnny Depp will team with quirky film maker John Waters (“Pink Flamingos,” “Hairspray”)--for the musical love story “Cry Baby.” A spoof of
‘50s-era JD (that’s juvenile delinquent) flicks, it’s for Imagine Entertainment/Universal. Waters will write and direct with Rachel Talalay producing. Depp will play a gang member who gets

singer-musician,” playing clubs on the Sunset Strip. Filming is set for Waters’ Baltimore stomping ground in mid-April. That’s hiatus time for Depp from his work as a sexy undercover cop on

three more years.” MORE TO READ
