'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Johnny Depp has reportedly exited 'Black Mass', a biopic based on a Boston gangster Whitey Bulger
The 49-year-old actor is known to have left the project after demands of cutting his fees by half, said a newspaper.
With low sales of the movie at Cannes the producers were looking to trim the budget of the film to a USD 60 million range. The film is based on Boston mob kingpin Whitey Bulger and his close relationship with FBI agent John Connolly.
