Los Angeles:
After Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp's name is being attached to Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow's upcoming film on organised crime.
Bigelow wants to cast Depp opposite The Da Vinci Code actor and the Public Enemies star is said to be interested but has to work out his scheduling first , Deadline Hollywood reported.
The film tentatively titled Sleeping Dogs has five different stories but there are two major leads which Bigelow wants Depp and Hanks to do.
