Okay. THIS isn't an option for me to see, but isn't the story totally insane?! What the heck!?

* Johnny Depp will star in and produce a feature adaptation of the Gregory David Roberts novel SHANTARAM for Warner Bros., Brad Grey and Initial Entertainment. Roberts will adapt the book, which is set in the 1980s, and is about an Australian heroin addict convicted of robbery. He escapes from a maximum-security prison and flees to India and reinvents himself as a doctor in the slums of Bombay. He gets involved in counterfeiting, smuggling and gunrunning, which leads him to Afghanistan, where he and a mob boss battle the Russians.

Still I ask: What the heck?!
