Depp Set For Pfister's "Transcendence"

Johnny Depp is in negotiations to star in Oscar-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister's directorial debut "Transcendence" says Deadline.

Plot deets of Jack Paglen's script are being hushed for now.

Marisa Polvino, Kate Cohen, Annie Marter, David Valdes, Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce.

Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are serving as executive producers.

Pfister has worked on seven of Nolan’s films since "Memento" including his Batman trilogy and "Inception" for which he won an Oscar.

Production is currently aiming to begin early next year.
