I was just looking around at upcoming movies and noticed this coincidence.

The Libertine - Johnny Depp and John Malkovich. Restoration era naughtiness. Trailer looks like it was shot with authetic period-lighting of candles.
"I am John Wilmet, the second Earl of of Rochester, and I do not want you to like me." (Um, then you should have had somebody other than Johnny Depp play you, buddy.)

Mrs. Henderson Presents - Judy Dench and Bob Hoskins. WWII naughtiness. Seems a bit more of a comedy.
"And in any rate, we'll have a barber." [Blushing]

I want to see Mrs. Henderson Presents. Not that I don't love Johnny Depp (because I do. Trust me, I do), but I think that Mrs. Henderson Presents seems like an enjoyable movie. The Libertine looks just a little too weird for me.

They both look really interesting. Thanks, Enigmatic.

Ooh, John Malkovich. I'll have to see that one, although probably not until it comes out on DVD.
