Too bad–Johnny Depp will NOT attend the FINDING NEVERLAND premiere in Santa Barbara!

Organizers of the FINDING NEVERLAND screening and fundraiser in Santa Barbara on October 1, 2004 confirmed via email today that Johnny will NOT attend this event. Depp fans who purchase a $200 ticket for the west coast premiere will get to see the film and attend a gala in Montecito, but their only chance to see Johnny that evening will be as J. M. Barrie, on the silver screen. Sam Dependahl of the Santa Barbara Film Commission writes: “As of now, Kate Winslet is the only celebrity who is confirmed, but more will follow. Unfortunately, Johnny Depp will not be able to attend due to his filming schedule.” Thanks to Miranda and Taylor for sharing their correspondence with the Santa Barbara Film Commission.
