Johnny Depp hasn't retired from acting, despite the fact he's currently giving all his attention to directing right now ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Johnny tell TMZ ... the Oscar nominee isn't done with performing in front of the camera, but his current passion has been directing the biopic "Modi," as he's been very happy being back in the director's chair.

The forthcoming drama about the life of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani stars Riccardo Scamarcio, Sally Phillips and Al Pacino ... and the film has already gotten great buzz. It's his first time directing a feature film since 1997's "The Brave" ... which he also co-starred in with Marlon Brando.

Johnny Depp no se ha retirado de la actuación, a pesar de que está enfocando toda su atención a dirigir en este momento, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Fuentes cercanas a Johnny le dicen a TMZ que el nominado al Oscar no ha dado por terminada su carrera como actor, pero su pasión actual ha sido hacerse cargo de la dirección de la película biográfica "Modi", y está muy feliz de estar de vuelta en la silla del director.

El próximo drama sobre la vida del artista italiano Amedeo Modigliani está protagonizada por Riccardo Scamarcio, Sally Phillips y Al Pacino, y la película ya está haciendo mucho ruido. Por ejemplo, es la primera vez que dirige un largometraje desde "The Brave", de 1997, que también coprotagonizó con Marlon Brando.

American actor Dan Byrd was 18 years old when he played Carter -- the nerdy high schooler and aspiring actor who comes into his own -- in the 2004 high school movie "A Cinderella Story."

Dan joined several big Hollywood names on the big screen including Hilary Duff playing modern-day Cinderella, Sam, Chad Michael Murray as the high school jock turned prince charming, Austin, Jennifer Coolidge as the evil and sarcastic step-mother, Fiona and Regina King as Sam's saving confidant, Rhonda.

Dan was also in "Easy A" with Emma Stone as well as the 2006 remake of "The Hills Have Eyes".

Henry Cavill y su novia tenían a todo el mundo pensando si estaba embarazada o no, después de salir frente a las cámaras este fin de semana, y ahora Cavill ha confirmado que es cierto.

El actor y su prometida Natalie Viscuso fueron fotografiados en Nueva York el domingo, donde el vientre de Nat sobresalía notablemente, aparentemente mostrando una barriguita de bebé. Por supuesto, nadie quiso ser grosero y presumir que ese era el caso, al menos al principio.

El lunes, durante el estreno de la nueva película de Henry Cavill, Access Hollywood finalmente le preguntó al respecto directamente, pero lo hizo de una manera un tanto disimulada, dándolo más como un hecho.

Henry Cavill and his girlfriend had everyone thinking she had a bun in the oven after stepping out in front of cameras this weekend ... which he's now confirmed as true.

The actor and SO (and soon-to-be baby mama) Natalie Viscuso were photographed in NYC Sunday ... where Nat's belly was noticeably protruding, seemingly showing off a baby bump. Of course, nobody wanted to be rude and presume that to be the case ... at least at first.

On Monday -- during the premiere of HC's new movie -- Access Hollywood finally just asked him about it straight up ... but did so in a somewhat sneaky way, stating it more so as fact.

Keanu Reeves es único, sin duda, y eso se aplica a sus relaciones. Pueden preguntárselo a su novia, que recibe besos con ojos bien abiertos de su parte… en público, por increíble que parezca.

El actor asistió a un refinado evento con su pareja, Alexandra Grant, el fin de semana: fueron vestidos de punta en blanco a una gala de arte en LA… y mientras posaban juntos para la cámara, Keanu y Alexandra demostraron su afecto públicamente.

Se dieron un besito en los labios… Pero lo que sorprendió a todos fue que KR tenía los ojos bien abiertos y miraba a AG a la cara, pegada a la suya.

Keanu Reeves sure is a one-of-a-kind guy -- and that goes for his relationships ... just ask his girlfriend, who receives eyes-wide-open smooches from him ... in public too, no less.

The actor hit up a fancy-schmancy event over the weekend with his significant other, Alexandra Grant, where they were dressed to the nines for an art gala in L.A. ... and while they were posing for camera together, Keanu and Alexandra shared a little PDA.

They gave each other a little peck of a kiss on the lips ... but what caught everyone by surprise was the fact that KR was wide-eyed and looking right at AG's up-close face.

Johnny Depp is looking to buy a medieval castle in the Italian countryside ... but the town isn't sold on having him, even though we know he'd show deference as a neighbor.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the actor recently toured a castle in Montalto Dora, Italy -- a small town with a little over 3,000 people living there -- as a potential addition to his real estate portfolio. However, we're told nothing is official ... but he is considering a buy.

The castle is valued at about $4 million, and it's for sale ... if he is interested in claiming it as his own.

The new trailer for "Joker: Folie à Deux" is stirring up some buzz among moviegoers and some filmmakers, who think some scenes very closely echo the musical "La La Land."

Austin Gorg, the art director of Damien Chazelle’s 2016 hit, "La La Land," hasn't really noticed the comparisons himself ... but he tells TMZ any similarities are no big deal 'cause filmmaking often involves borrowing a bit of inspiration from other people's work.

Austin reckons the Todd Phillips-directed 'Joker 2' drawing comparisons to Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone's flick is likely just a case of both films tapping into well-worn cinematic tropes explored by many movies -- as he points out, "La La Land" was essentially a love letter to classic films, even using sets from old-school musicals.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was just sentenced in her criminal case -- and she's going to prison for a while ... this after a jury found her guilty over the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins.

The former "Rust" armorer -- who was convicted of manslaughter for her role in Hutchins' death -- received a sentence of 18 months behind bars Monday in front of a New Mexico judge. She'll serve her time at a women's correctional facility in the state.

Hannah was able to speak before learning her fate ... addressing the court directly and pleading for mercy -- but more specifically, for probation. Obviously, the judge didn't bite.

Will Smith made a rare appearance onstage this weekend -- crashing Coachella to perform a song from the '90s ... and doing it alongside none other than J Balvin.

Indeed ... very random, but no less entertaining. Balvin had an alien-themed design and aesthetic for his Coachella gig ... and at one point in the set, he brought out WS who was rocking his signature 'MIB' 'fit ... only to rap the "Men in Black" song from the titular movie.

The crowd loved it ... including Jada Pinkett Smith, J's girlfriend, Valentina Ferrer, and BLACKPINK sensation Lisa who were seen dancing together in the artist pit. Will's performance is getting rave reviews too, 'cause people could clearly hear his vocals as opposed to a backing track.

Uma Thurman sees Drake is under attack by everyone in hip hop -- which is why she's offering up a famous piece of wardrobe from one of her movies ... seemingly taking his side.

The actress posted a photo of her famous yellow suit from "Kill Bill: Volume 1" -- and she tagged Drizzy in this pic, asking if he needed it. Drake responded and wrote, "Yes pls. The pen is the Hattori Hanzo" ... a reference to a famous samurai.

Obviously, what Drake means here is ... yes, he'll take the suit and rock it -- because he too recognizes he's being ganged up on, just like Uma's character in that iconic fight scene.

Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith are still friends after all these years ... with Jaden grippin' Justin in a big hug and gettin' a smooch in return during Coachella.

The two music superstars met up Saturday during the music festival's busy first weekend ... and, JS decided to surprise his best bro by embracing him from behind.

Check out the clip ... Bieber's face lights up when he looks back and sees it's Jaden who decides to move around and go for a real embrace from JB in a VIP area at the festival.

Prop tanks from the 2014 war film "Fury" are about to hit the auction block, and they're expected to fetch tens of thousands.

Tracks & Trade -- an auction platform for unique historical military vehicles -- has listed the 2 tanks featured in the movie starring Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf, which were used in place of actual WWII vehicles during filming to prevent potential damage to the authentic ones.

One of the tanks listed is called the "Sherman," while the other is named the "Tiger" -- the latter which had limited gear change opportunities.

Megan Fox is finally addressing the viral "Love is Blind" controversy ... saying she's heard about the comparison from a whole bunch of people -- even other celebs!

The actress sat down for an E! News interview at the 7th Annual Revolve Festival in Palm Springs when the interviewer asked her if she knew anything about Chelsea Blackwell saying people told her they looked alike.

Fox says tons of people keep bringing up this moment to her even though she doesn't watch much TV ... confessing even other celebs at awards shows have mentioned it to her.
