Johnny Depp‘s production company Infinitum Nihil has picked up screen rights to the Nick Tosches novel “In the Hand of Dante.” The novel will be developed as a potential starring vehicle for Depp. The book revolves around Dante’s masterwork The Divine Comedy, and tells parallel storylines involving Dante in 14th-century Italy as he tries to complete the work, and a contemporary storyline involving Tosches, who is asked to authenticate what might be Dante’s original manuscript. Depp would play Tosches. Depp is currently working on Tim Burton‘s “Alice In Wonderland“, “The Lone Ranger“, “Pirates of the Caribbean 4” and voicing the title character in the Gore Verbinski-directed animated film “Rango.” According to Variety, Depp is planning on shooting the long awaited “The Rum Diary” in March Infinitum Nihil also is working on a film transfer of “Dark Shadows” that will have Johnny Depp playing Barnabas Collins.
