LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Johnny Depp says he's planning to direct a documentary about British rock guitarist Keith Richards.

Depp told the Serbian magazine Politika that he will begin directing the documentary next week, marking Depp's first directorial attempt since 1997's "The Brave," Variety.com reported Friday.

Specific details of the documentary project were not released.

Depp and Richards, 66, are friends and Depp has said his performance as the pirate Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series was inspired by the Rolling Stones guitarist.

Richards appeared on screen with Depp for the third film in the series, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End."

Variety said Richards is set to release an autobiography of his life this fall.
