Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are slated to star in “My American Dream”, about Simone de Beauvoir and Nelson Algren.

Being directed by Lasse Hallstrom, “My American Dream” is about the famous French philosopher and feminist and her lover Algren, an American writer. The film is slated to start production and filming in 2011. Hallstrom has previously directed Depp in both “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” and “Chocolat.”

Depp and Paradis have been together for 12 years and have two children together.
Depp said that “Vanessa plays the French feminist Simone de Beauvoir and I play her lover Nelson Algren who is real macho.” He’s expected to make the film in 2011.

Depp is currently shooting “The Tourist” and will follow that up with the fourth Pirates movie, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”
