Gore Verbinski is known for directing some of the largest movies of the past decade, including three Pirates of the Carribeans and the upcoming Lone Ranger. However, it appears his next project will be a bit more humble. Deadline reports he is attached to direct an adaptation of the graphic novel Pyongyang. The novel centers on a young French-Canadian animator who moves to North Korea to act as a liaison for a French animation production company. Things do not go well. So, the question is: Does Johnny Depp know how to do a French-Canadian accent?
