Johnny Depp hysteria in Venice

Fans camped outside the Venice Film Festival palace to ensure the best spots along the red carpet for Friday’s premiere of "Black Mass", in which Johnny Depp portrays Irish-American gangster James "Whitey" Bulger.

A few hundred meters away, equally excited fans gathered along the canal to catch a glimpse of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star arriving for a news conference.

"Black Mass" is screening in the out-of-competition line-up at the 72nd edition of the world's oldest film festival.
