"There's certain books that I've been in love with for years that I'd love to bring to life, things like Tom Robbins's Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates.

It looks that Johnny Depp is still interested in that The Ginger Man, an adaptation of J.P. Donleavy novel.
I’ve been reading some articles about Depp and his recent work and I’m not sure what to think about the whole thing. Some say he’s too occupied with that Pirates-Of-The-Caribbean-making-me-a-millionaire project(s), which is true, of course.
But, on the other hand, you can’t blame man for being so lucky and loved by almost everyone out there who would pay a ticket to see him on a big screen.

According to the interview he had with Fox News, Depp said he still has every intention of making The Ginger Man, and some other projects, as well:

Since as far back as 2006, international superstar Johnny Depp has been interested in one day adapting J.P. Donleavy's novel The Ginger Man. Obviously he's been a little busy over the past five years, so it's not surprising it hasn't happened yet. However, in speaking with Fox News (via Cinematical), Depp said he still has every intention of making the project. While speaking of the roles he'd like to step into before he retires (don't worry, it won't be anytime soon), the actor said, "There's certain books that I've been in love with for years that I'd love to bring to life." One is h Ginger Man, and the other is a title that hasn't come up before. Depp said he's interested in "things like Tom Robbins Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates that's a great, great book."
