Johnny Depp has just delivered an unexpected performance in the opening trailer for the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) currently underway in the Czech Republic.
In the trailer, Depp is seen walking outdoors, carrying a guitar case. He then enters the lobby of a hotel, struggling to get his guitar case through the door, where he meets a woman who’s there to interview him.
As they speak, she mentions that he had attended the KVIFF, but came home empty-handed.

“Literally everyone who goes gets an award. How come you didn’t?” she asks.
“Did I not?” Depp responds, to which his interviewer confirms, “I don’t think you did.”
After an awkward pause, Depp reaches into his guitar case and retrieves a KVIFF trophy, bearing a piece of tape covering the nameplate, upon which his name has been handwritten.
The trailer, specially produced for this year’s 57th annual edition of the KVIFF was directed by Ivan Zachariáš, with filming taking place within the Hotel Gellér in Budapest.
At the time, Depp was working on a film in Europe, which allowed him to slip a quick trip to Hungary into his schedule to film the trailer.
“Right at the start of the shoot he told me that he would prefer to improvise,” Zachariáš told The Hollywood Reporter.
“I was initially a bit taken aback, but it turned out to be a great idea, since Johnny ended up putting even more of his own personality into the trailer,” he continued.
“We had great fun,” Zachariáš said of the shoot, which took about two hours. “When we were done, he still wanted to chat even though a plane was waiting for him,” recalled the director.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard might be one of Hollywood’s most famous exes.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are moving on from their controversial defamation trial. Depp, 60, has "closed the chapter" on the six-week court battle months after the final verdict, a source close to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor told People.
The raucous period drama “Firebrand” was the official opening-night film at the 57th annual Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on Friday night in the spa resort town outside Prague, but there was a lot more going on in and around the Grand Hall at the Hotel Thermal than just the on-screen battle between Alicia Vikander’s Catherine Parr and Jude Law’s King Henry VIII. It also included the presentation of awards to Vikander and Russell Crowe, the usual complement of opening-night speeches, an extended dance number that appeared to be performed on ice skates (though it wasn’t on ice but on an artificial surface that mimicked ice but could be walked on safely) and, during breaks and after the movie, complete concerts by the British band Morcheeba and by Crowe’s nine-piece band, Indoor Garden Party.

MC Marek Eben followed in a similarly feelgood vein, with a dryly witty monologue that touched on current affairs in the Czech Republic and the wider world without getting too heavily into the politics.
