Johnny Depp To Play Russian Spy

The Pirates of the Caribbean star is interested in purchasing the movie rights to Litvinenko’s life.  The late Russian spy was poisoned by a radioactive substance on November 1.

The book Sasha’s Story: The Life and Death of a Russian Spy, was written by Alan Cowell and will serve as the basis for the film that Depp would like to star in.

Litvinenko was poisoned after meeting three Russian men for lunch.  The spy had confirmed that he had sensitive information regarding the Kremlin.
