Stephen Deuters and Stephen Malit are also listed among the producers.No director is attached yet, but filming is slated to begin in late 2026. For the global film industry, the announcement stands to be a notable moment: an English-language version of one of Russia’s most renowned novels has been discussed for years by literature devotees and entertainment watchers, yet only now is it taking concrete shape. The prospect feels bold for English-speaking audiences.Viewers will be watching with interest how Depp and his team translate Bulgakov’s mystical world to the screen — and, just as importantly, who ultimately joins the cast.
