Johnny Depp is teaming up with TaTaTu, a newly launched blockchain social entertainment platform, to create cinematic content.
Co-founder and CEO of TaTaTu and AMBI Media Group, Andrea Iervolino and Hollywood celebrity actor, director, producer and screenwriter Johnny Depp are serious about creating and producing motion pictures and digital content.
Depp plans to continue creating at his film studio Infinitum Nihil. Iervolino, who recently launched the AMBI Media Group studio, will leverage his new capabilities. At the same time, partners will receive payment for creating content in Tatatu tokens - TTU, which, after a successfully completed token sale, are traded on the Liquid and HitBTC crypto exchanges. According to the idea of the project developers, users receive TTU tokens for providing their content and for watching other people’s videos, films and advertising materials.
Tatatu’s summer closed pre-sale showed high investor interest in the idea of an entertainment platform based on blockchain technology and the company was able to raise $575 million.
TaTaTu is now working on the story of Lamborghini, the film will involve Hollywood stars Antonio Banderas and Alec Baldwin. In addition, an original documentary about Jeremy Renner, an American actor and two-time Oscar nominee, and a film by Jim Caviezel and Mira Sorvino called “The Sound of Freedom” are being prepared for release. The company recently acquired a documentary about filmmaker William Friedkin called Friedkin Uncut.
The history of the creative union of Depp and Iervolino began with work on the film “Expectations of the Barbarians.” Filming on the adaptation of John Maxwell Coetzee's famous novel is scheduled to begin later this month. The film adaptation of the novel will feature Johnny Depp, Mark Rylance and Robert Pattinson. The film will be released by AMBI with the participation of TaTaTu.
Johnny Depp admitted that he is looking forward to working with a new partner and is passionate about his ideas.
