Johnny Depp is The Professor in the trailer for a new comedy drama

Johnny Depp plays Richard, a buttoned-down college lecturer who, after learning he has six months to live, transforms into a rebellious party animal. To the shock of his wife (Rosemarie DeWitt) and school chancellor (Ron Livingston) — and the delight of his students — Richard leads a hilarious crusade against authority and hypocrisy in this dark comedy.

Directed by Wayne Roberts, the film stars Johnny Depp, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston, Zoey Deutch, Danny Huston, Justine Warrington, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Kaitlyn Bernard, Odessa Young, and Matreya Scarrwener.

The Professor (previously called Riched Says Goodbye) hits DirecTV VOD on 18th April and US cinemas on 17th May 2019.
