Arrangement builds on partnership on upcoming comedy Richard Says Goodbye.

Im Global has announced a first-look deal with Johnny Depp’s Infinitum Nihil as the star’s Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales crossed $600m at the global box office.

The parties negotiated the arrangement shortly before Cannes where Im Global launched pre-sales on Richard Says Goodbye, which will star Depp as a university professor who indulges in every vice imaginable after he receives a life-changing diagnosis.

Im Global is fully financing and co-producing the feature, which Wayne Roberts, who earned plaudits with Katie Says Goodbye, is set to direct this summer. Brian Kavanaugh-Jones of Automatik produces alongside Im Global president of production Greg Shapiro, with Im Global founder and CEO Stuart Ford and Depp serving as executive producers.
