Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. They have been in four movies together over the years. The latest was a documentary on the infamous gonzo journalist, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. The three that count are
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Sleepy Hollow, and The Man Who Cried.
In 1998 they did their first film together. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It is about an oddball journalist and his psychopathic lawyer. They travel to Las Vegas for a series of psychedelic escapades. Johnny Depp played the part of the oddball journalist, Raoul Duke. Christina Ricci plays Lucy. A girl who has
come to Las Vegas to meet Barbra Streisand. Her role in the movie is minimal, and Lucy has limited interaction with Raoul Duke. But the chemistry between the two actors is undeniable.
In 1999 they come together in Sleepy Hollow. Johnny Depp is Ichabod Crane. Christina Ricca plays Ichabod's love interest, Katrina Van Tassel. The energy between them is electric. Leaving you wanting to see more.
In 2000 The Man Who Cried came out. Christina Ricci plays Suzie; a young refugee traveling from Russia to America in search of her lost father. Suzie falls in love with Cesar; a gypsy horseman played by Johnny Depp. This is the first sex scene the two have ever done together. Very steamy.
To my great disappointment, the two haven't worked together since. In my mind, and on my movie shelf, the two always seem to merge together. They make the perfect pair, and I want to see more of them together. Hopefully this will come to fruition in the near future.
