Hollywood’s obsession with James “Whitey” Bulger, the Boston crime lord who was captured after 18 years on the run, continues.
At the same time upcoming “Black Mass” is in production starring Johnny Depp and Benedict Cumberbatch, a crowd including Clive Davis, Candice Bergen, Gay Talese, Jeffrey Toobin and former top cop Ray Kelly turned up Tuesday for a screening of a new documentary, “Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger.”
After the Joe Berlinger-directed film, guests dined at Rue 57.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have also been developing a Bulger film for years, but Warner Bros. backed Depp’s project rather than theirs.
