Johnny Depp was honored during the opening of the Third Annual Kustendorf Film festival held in Belgrade, Serbia today. The Pirates of the Caribbean star had a statue of his image presented to him by renowned Serbian director Emir Kusturica, the festivals organizer, as a mark of honor and reverence. The life size statue of Johnny was created by sculptor Dragan Nikolic Baja

Johnny was also the proud recipient of the “Award for Future Movies.”

Upon his arrival via helicopter on Tuesday, the two met with Serbian president Boris Tadic and then continued on to Drvengrad – an artificial Serbian village built by Kosturica for the filming of “Life is a Miracle,” which now serves as an uninhabited tourist attraction.

Depp “will be my guest for three days in Mecavnik (Drvengrad), he will lead several workshops for participants of the festival, drink wine, watch films and visit some locations where he will shoot a film about Pancho Villa,” Mr. Kusturica told the daily publication Blic.

The festival will wrap on January 19th.
