Johnny Depp will produce and possibly star in a Dr. Seuss biopic being written by In Treatment’s Keith Bunin. Seuss, a.k.a. Theodor Geisel, grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts, went to school at Dartmouth, died in 1991, and in between wrote books that have sold over 200 million copies. The movie will chart the events that led to the publications of his children’s classics, while also getting at the dark secret at the heart of his life: Dr. Seuss never actually graduated medical school.
