Black Mass: An Unholy Alliance of the Talents of Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Bacon & More

Is Johnny Depp back?

The first trailer for Black Mass had me rooting for what looks like the return of the real Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger. Now that the September 18th release of the movie is just a couple of weeks away, we’ve been seeing a trio of 30 second spots playing out on TV, highlighting the sick, nasty nature of the notorious gangster.

The Unholy Alliance

For those of us not up on the details of this fine specimen of human garbage—although there’s still time to read Whitey Bulger, the FBI, and a Devil's Deal by Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill—we’ve also got An Unholy Alliance, a 4 minute featurette that gives us an inside look at the key characters and what made Whitey tick. 

“ It’s a business opportunity. Get the FBI to fight our wars against our enemies. While they protect us, we do whatever we want to.” 

Take a look ...

Here in L.A. it’s going to cost me somewhere between $13 and $15 to see Black Mass in theaters. Are you going to fork out the cash to see Depp & company? What’s your local ticket price?
