Lionsgate’s upcoming horror‑drama ‘Day Drinker’ places Johnny Depp at the center of a revenge‑driven ghost story, a move that could lift the studio’s October slate and signal another high‑profile comeback for the actor. If the trailer’s tone resonates, Lionsgate stands to gain box‑office traction, while Depp aims to reinforce his return after recent setbacks. Deadline frames the narrative as a revenge tale within a ghost‑story framework, and People highlights the trailer as evidence of Depp’s Hollywood return.
Yahoo.com adds that the role may be his “scariest” to date, underscoring the shift in his on‑screen persona. Together the outlets emphasize the film’s tone, star power and the actor’s transformation. Coverage does not provide a release date or details about the plot beyond the revenge premise.
No outlet has confirmed the extent of Depp’s makeup or prosthetic work, and the specific box‑office expectations remain unspecified. Future updates from Lionsgate or the film’s director will be needed to fill these gaps.
