Johnny Depp's "Jeanne Du Barry" to Open Cannes Film Festival

TL;DR
Johnny Depp's first major film since winning a defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, "Jeanne du Barry," will open the Cannes Film Festival in May. Directed by and starring Maïwenn, the film is a costume drama in which Depp plays King Louis XV of France. Depp's victory in court surprised some legal observers, as a judge in Britain had ruled in an earlier case that there was evidence that Depp had assaulted Heard.
