I apologize ahead of time if there is already a thread on this. I was wondering what everyone's expectations are for this movie? I think Johnny Depp goes without saying. I saw some pictures of him online made up like a younger Whitey, and it was almost eerie how much he resembled him. I believe Depp's acting ability speaks for itself, so we are good there. Joel Edgarton looks like he is a good fit for Zip Connolly, Sienna Miller already resembles a young Katherine Greig. Jesse Plemons is set to play Two Weeks, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to shake his creepy, ice-in-his-veins, psychopath from Breaking Bad. Can't tell which actor is going to play Flemmi yet. Any thoughts?

That is true. Not much in the way of footage of Whitey speaking , other than some surveillance footage. I would love to see a 60 Minutes feature interview with him.

I would rather the movie be based off of the book Brutal, instead of Black Mass which although is decent, it does not seem very objective. That being said, I'm glad it's Depp playing him, not Damon of Whalberg or some other clown. Not sure I agree with your opinion on Black Mass. If anything, I would be least likely to believe everything Kevin Squeeks says.

Think what you want about "kevin squeaks" but for you to say that I highly doubt you read Brutal. The only self serving BS was about his street fights and boosting his own ego. Everything with Bulger is matter of fact, straight to the point, no exaggeration or embellishing. Black Mass, however is written by reporters who obviously hated t he bulgers. I have read Brutal, as well as Rat Bastards, Black Mass, and Paddy Wacked. I found them all to be good reads, but for whatever reason, I enjoyed Black Mass the most. It definitely seemed to go into more well rounded detail than Brutal or Rat Bastards. All due respect, I just never seem to get as much out of the books written by rats. I didn't buy into Carlo's Gaspipe book either.

I dont know if any movie or book will be descriptive as what the trial brought out of people. I mean I heard the black mass was very good. I mean if they wanted to make a movie that would be epic. I would first start by doing the whole movie in southie not just small clips because woburn and danvers is no fucking southie by a longshot. Second I would use the book and any other book to get a idea, perspective and take pieces from it. I wouldve paid, Martorano,weeks, shea, even whitey and flemmi, connoly themselves or any other character like winter or Pat Nee. That way the movie would be very authentic. My opinion but as a Bostonian, I was upset they didnt do majority of the movie in Southie.
