Johnny Depp turns bar into 'Pirates' set

Washington, May 16 (ANI): Johnny Depp was so desperate for a relaxed atmosphere on the set of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' that he insisted on holding the rehearsals at a bar!

Depp's co-star in the film Geoffrey Rush has revealed that Depp was so determined to make everyone comfortable from the start that he got them out of the studio and into his bar, 'The Viper Room' - which he has since sold - for a read through.

"I can't deny the scale of it. I remember when we were all about to sit down for a table read through at the Disney offices once and Johnny decided we should do it in his club, the Viper Room, instead, so as we would feel on a human scale.

"So if there is a relaxed atmosphere on set, I think it is down to him. He says he sees it as an independent film that happens to have a s**tload of money attached to it," Contactmusic quoted Rush as telling 'Seven Magazine'. (ANI)
