Mr Smith said he was in talks and hoped to sign up "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Depp "within three weeks".
The 61-year-old writer said the film will be all about his life as a young man addicted to amphetamines who drifted into crime and ended up living on the streets of Wrexham for a few months.
