The photo at left shows Johnny Depp as he arrived at Narita Airport in Japan today, where he was greeted by a huge crowd of enthusiastic fans. (To see another photo from the airport, click here: http://tinyurl.com/2qgmn9 ) He was accompanied by his sister, Infinitum Nihil president Christi Dembrowski. Johnny is visiting Japan for the Asian premiere of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END; this is his third visit to Japan in the past three years. The Zone thanks bonnie, AnaMaria and Carasun for photos and GAO for phoning in reports from the airport. Happily, GAO, RumLover and Hiro3 were all able to see Johnny–Hiro3 and her wonderful Jackdoll were in the front row at the airport. You can read first-person accounts of Johnny’s arrival in Japan on the Zone’s News & Views forum.

The Asian premiere of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END will take place tomorrow–watch for our premiere coverage on the News & Views forum. Many thanks to our Japanese Zoners for keeping us posted!–Part-Time Poet
