Johnny Depp will be terrorizing the neighborhood in the upcoming gangster film, Black Mass. The multi-talented actor will be playing the bad-ass Boston gangster, Whitey Bulger. 

Johnny Depp is bound to give another stellar performance in this action-filled gangster movie that is bound to send chills down one's spine. The actor sports a crazy new look and has become the stuff of nightmares. While Whitey Bulger was viewed as the Robin Hood of the masses back in the day, he would get away with murdering people in broad daylight. 

The Black Mass trailer begins with Whitey Bulger sitting down to a seeminlgly normal and quiet family dinner. Bulger imparts some surprising wisdom to his young son about morality, and that scene alone is enough to scare you. 

"It's not what you do. It's when and where you do it, and who you do it to or with. If nobody sees it, did it happen?" Depp, as Bulger says. 

This is ironic considering that the convicted murderer is charged for 19 counts of murder. Bulger would become one of the FBI's Most Wanted and managed to escape a worldwide manhunt until his capture in 2011.

The Award-winning actor manages to highlight his sadistic and ruthless character in soft monologues. The gangster movie showcases a powerful cast including Benedict Cumberbatch as Bill Bulger.  

Johnny Depp is currently working on The Pirates of the Carribean 5. There are reports that suggest that the production might be in trouble as there are talks that Depp is flying back to the United States "to save his marriage with Amber Heard."

Black Mass is set to debut on September 18.
