Deppheads, prepare for a severe case of whiplash as you pass your grocery checkout stand this weekend–Johnny is on the cover of the new ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, with his FINDING NEVERLAND co-star Kate Winslet, and as you can tell by the thumbnail on the left, the picture is to die for! It’s easy to see that Captain Jack Sparrow is about to re-emerge from hibernation any day now. For a larger view of the January 14, 2005 ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY cover, click HERE.

The EW story deals with this year’s Oscar race; according to old johnny fan, there is an interview with Johnny and Kate in the issue, along with another new picture of Johnny, and Kate with Freddie Highmore. The picture was taken December 17 in Paris, according to the credits page. EW is predicting Oscar nominations for Johnny as Best Actor for FINDING NEVERLAND, and a rare double for Kate, as Best Supporting Actress for FINDING NEVERLAND and Best Actress for ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. EW also taps FINDING NEVERLAND as a Best Picture nominee, and foresees nods for Marc Forster as Best Director and David Magee for Best Adapted Screenplay. We certainly hope they are right! Thanks very much to DeepinDepp for posting the EW cover on the News & Views forum, and to oldjohnnyfan for reporting on the contents.
