Johnny Depp is a busy man these days, Alice in Wonderland, another Pirates of the Caribbean Sequel, The Lone Ranger, voice acting in Rango, and now The Hand of Dante.

Johnny Depp’s production company Infinitum Nihil has acquired screen rights to the Nick Tosches novel “In the Hand of Dante.” The novel will be developed as a potential star vehicle for Depp.

Depp will produce with his Infinitum Nihil partner Christi Dembrowski. The company, which has a first-look deal with Warner Bros. and Graham King’s GK Films, optioned the book with its own coin.

Book revolves around Dante’s masterwork ”The Divine Comedy,” and tells parallel storylines involving Dante in 14th-century Italy as he tries to complete the work, and a contemporary storyline involving Tosches, who is asked to authenticate what might be Dante’s original manuscript. Depp would play Tosches. The novel was published in 2002.

I’ll pretty much see anything Depp agrees to be in, he’s made a lot of great choices so far.
