Johnny Depp directed himself and Marlon Brando in a Western about a snuff film, and there is a reason that you have never seen this forgotten oddity.
While Johnny Depp’s 1997 feature film directorial debut was never released, the actor had good reason to keep the movie under wraps. Some actors prove naturally talented at directing movies, and some directors are solid actors in their own right. Sarah Polley transitioned from starring in major movies to directing equally successful projects, while Ben Affleck has bounced between the roles of movie star and director numerous times over the last two decades.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although The Brave is technically about snuff movies, viewers expecting a gory horror like Faces of Death will be sorely disappointed. The Brave is a slow character study that sees Depp play Raphael, an indigenous American who cannot afford to keep his family afloat upon being released from prison.
However, as many regular cinema goers can likely attest, usually, a movie being bad is not enough to shut down its entire release after the project is completed. However, The Brave was a somewhat unusual case. Since Depp put a lot of his own money into the budget, the project was undeniably his baby. Not only that but, despite the presence of Depp and Brando, the subject ensured that The Brave was never going to be a major mainstream hit.
Why Johnny Depp Prevented The Brave's Release Depp himself decided that The Brave wouldn’t receive a release due to the movie’s hostile reviews. Depp since said of the reviews that they were “like an attack on me – how dare I direct a movie?” His next Western, the mainstream blockbuster The Lone Ranger. was a catastrophic flop, meaning the genre may just be the wrong fit for Depp in all of its iterations.
