Johnny Depp is set to produce an upcoming doc about ShaneMacGowan
a feature documentary about the man, the music, the Irish diaspora and what the filmmakers describe as his "seemingly effortless facility for writing lyrics to some of the world’s most listened to songs including 'Fairytale of New York,' capturing the spirit of Ireland whilst on his own very personal voyage into the heart of darkness."
"Knowing Shane for 30 years, I am honoured to be producing the definitive film on both my friend and one of the most important artists and beloved poets of the twentieth century,” said Depp. Shane will use animation, unseen footage from Temple’s own archives and contributions from collaborators, artists and, most important, MacGowan's own family, in an effort to reveal MacGowan's true punk and poetic nature, culminating in his 60th birthday celebration, where singers, movie stars and rock ’n' roll outlaws gathered for a "knees-up to remember."
Jan Younghusband, head of music commissioning, is executive producer for BBC Music, along with Steven Lappin for Warner Music Entertainment, Jeremy Thomas of Recorded Picture Company, Gerry O’Boyle, Manish Patel and Sam Sarkar. Victoria Clarke is associate producer.
