The photo apparently emerged from a Russian Johnny Depp fansite, because why not?

As previously reported, Depp is starring as Bulger in the Scott Cooper-directed Black Mass, alongside The Great Gatsby's Joel Edgerton who is portraying FBI agent John Connolly. The film should hit theaters sometime in 2015, after beginning filming in Boston this month.
