Ok, so I am not sure it is true, but here you are:

Benedict with Johnny Depp? And they already started filming... I wonder if he is so desperate to do some acting or whether this was this mysterious project he said he was not allowed to talk about.

Well, I certainly hope it's true. I love Johnny Depp!  Having him and Benedict in the same movie would be awesome!

Finally something! Thank you for this excellent news!

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

I hope it's true, it would be awesome to see Johnny Depp and Benedict as brothers!

Wow, Benedict would be very busy man in the next few years. But I'm happy, next film to wait for

I'm not sure if I find it "awesome" but it would be definitely interesting.
But I need some more to believe it.

I also found some information on this here:

http://cumberbatchforum.tumblr.com/post/86423756376/benedict-cumberbatch-joins-johnny-depp-in-black-mass

There it says that Benedict talked about this project when he visited The Guardian last month.
Well... I'm not particularly keen on Johnny Depp, and the last movies he made were just not my cup of tea. Nevertheless... Benedict seems to be getting very busy now...

...the director definitely sounds promising though, Scott Cooper did "Crazy Heart" and "Out of the Furnace". Haven't seen the second one yet (but read lots of good stuff about it) and loved "Crazy Heart".

Right, that could be true then. Which I would love. Benedict ... acting again. Finally!

And since they seem to have started filming already, Benedict could do this and then wait for Martin to finish Richard and then they could both go back to 221B...

Yes, I would love to see him act again. Does anyone know when the story is set? I googled his character who is 80 this year.

John Connolly and James "Whitey" Bulger grew up together on the streets of South Boston. Decades later, in the late 1970s, they would meet again. By then, Connolly was a major figure in the FBI's Boston office and Whitey had become godfather of the Irish Mob. What happened between them - a dirty deal to trade secrets and take down Boston's Italian Mafia in the process - would spiral out of control, leading to murders, drug dealing, racketeering indictments, and, ultimately, to Bulger making the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List.
(Source: IMDB)

Release Date seems to be October 2015.

Thank you, Solar. I read that Johnny Depp will be nearly unrecognisable and be as good as bald. So I would say it will be set later in his life when he was hiding from the police and finally convicted and imprisoned. Billy Bulger is five years his junior. 
Ha, I love speculating and then being surprised what they make of it.

Oh, sh**. Gulp. I think this would be the only hairstyle I could not bear. 
But I think this will not happen. Billy Bulger has very full hair.

Yeah, I'm sure all Johnny Depp fans will be quite thrilled, seeing him like this...
Let's just hope that his brother will look a little bit... different.

Well, when he has full hair now … Sorry for being such a hair fetishist and sorry to all men with a receding hairline - I know it is not your fault - but it is really not very attractive. 

These were my shallow two minutes.

Well, it depends...

But seriously, nothing bad about two shallow minutes. I'll gladly admit that I hope to see Benedict with hair in this (and any other) movie.

Btw, this film is also based on a book:
