Actor Johnny Depp will be playing notorious Boston mobster Whitey Bulger in a film currently titled “Black Mass”.
The film project will center around the rise and fall of Bulger including his arrest three years ago following years on the run and his ultimate conviction.
Actor Tom Hardy is said to be in talks to play FBI agent John Connolly, a childhood friend of Bulger’s who is in prison for tipping off the Boston mobster that he was about to be indicted.
The now 84-year-old Bulger was one of the nation's most wanted fugitives after he left Boston in 1994. He was captured in 2011 in Santa Monica, Calif.
Bulger is serving the rest of his life in an Oklahoma State prison.
