ABOUT THE BOOK

One of the most successful box office stars in the world, Johnny Depp is an actor, director, and producer who has risen to the top of the Hollywood food chain since debuting on TVs 21 Jump Street.

Depps addition necessitated much of the pilot being re-shot, but it also meant the difference between the series being picked up and rejected. On the strength of the pilot and Depps complex, thoughtful take on the young detective Jump Street went to series.
