Johnny Depp's Notorious B.I.G. movie, City of Lies, has been pulled--at least temporarily. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film was pulled from Global Road Entertainment's schedule just a month before it was due to open on September 7. A new date has not been announced.
No reason was provided for the move. But the announcement comes after the publication of a Rolling Stone interview with Depp in which the actor said a lot of things including that he would have dropped LSD on Osama Bin Laden's compound.

Now Playing: The Biggest Movies To Watch In 2018
City of Lies also stars Forest Whitaker. It tells the story of the unsolved murder of B.I.G., with Depp playing Los Angeles police detective Russell Poole and Whitaker as a journalist.
"In search of the truth, the two team up and unravel a growing web of institutional corruption and lies," reads a line from the movie's description. "Relentless in their hunt, these two determined men threaten to uncover the conspiracy and crack the foundation of the L.A.P.D. and an entire city. Based on the nonfiction book LAbyrinth, written by Randall Sullivan."
City of Lies is off the release schedule, for now at least, but a much bigger movie starring Depp, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, is due out in November. Last year, J.K. Rowling defended casting Depp in the role of Grindelwald amid the domestic violence allegations from Depp's ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.
