I’ve begun to read Zach Dean‘s script of Day Drinker, a frothy thriller currently filming in Spain with a gray-haired Johnny Depp, 61, as an alcoholic named Kelly.

I’m only up to page 15, but it’s pretty clear that Kelly will either end up sober or a lot less shitfaced.

Dean’s story cruises around on a private yacht. Madelyn Cline, 28, plays the proverbial hottie; Penelope Cruz portrays a criminal of some sort.

Wikipedia says director Marc Webb (who always directs lightweight stuff) has actually been filming on the Canary Islands (Santa Cruz de Tenerife)

Depp’s Kelly is a friendly, enjoyable rogue…a charming fellow who needs to be sipping something at all times.

Dean’s script has a jaunty feel — I’ll give it that much. It ends with a twist,.
