Johnny Depp To Receive $56 Million Up Front for PotC4

[Maxxthepenguin]

There will always be some treasure that Jack desperately wants to get without stretching his character too far, so there will always be potential for a new movie.

[Katlan]

The script hasn't even been started on yet afaik... or maybe it's been in dev for like a month lol

It'll probably be refreshing to see a Pirates movie with just Jack, Barbarossa, and the crew; and not whiny Turner and two-faced Elizabeth.

My thoughts exactly.

I totally forgot about what happened with Knightley & Bloom's characters at the end of part 3, shows how much I cared. In part 4 they should get Christian Bale as the Villain. He would be great & actually get to use his british accent instead of his goofy american accent. Depp VS. Bale! As Pirates! YAARRRRRR!

[Nuriko]

To go along with the idea of a prequel and possibly showing the mutiny...or going even earlier...there's probably a good side story or two to be shown with Bootstrap which I think would be interesting.

That would own.

Jack Sparrow VS. the goddamn Batman

Would make billions. <_<

[Tyr]

That'd be sick - Bale v. Depp

I welcome the fact that Bloom & Knightley won't be in the movie...god I hated both their characters so much. Gonna have to watch the series again, if I can live through the Knightley/Bloom scenes...

[Epical]

Arrrgghh why are they milking this past a third movie? Let the series die in a blaze of glory...

As much as I love JD and Sparrow a fourth is excessive.

[AoE]

Nothing but flashbacks of Knightly and Bloom for the fourth movie! LOL!

[Arrmani]

That would own.

Jack Sparrow VS. the goddamn Batman

Would make billions. <_<

It would also be hilarious if Bale was the "bad guy" in Pirates, then Johnny Depp did do the Riddler in Batman.

I like Johnny Depp, and he plays a great Jack Sparrow. This makes me think he'll get much more screen time, which even if it sucks story-wise, could still make for a fun and entertaining movie.

I need to Torrent the 3rd when I get home, I still haven't seen it. And after looking at some replies to this thread, I probably shouldn't enter it again till after I watch it - just in case.

Bump...

Caught this news on the radio, and this is why I didn't want to see a 4th movie:

Heartthrob Zac Efron will pick up the biggest pay check of his career when he signs on to star in the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, according to reports. Disney bosses want to groom Efron to eventually replace Johnny Depp as the star of the franchise, and they are offering him $10 million to star alongside Captain Jack Sparrow in the next installment of the blockbuster film series.

A source tells the National Enquirer, "Disney knew that Zac was reulctant to do any more High School Musical movies. He had already said there was 'no way' he'd return as Troy. So the Disney brass came up with an offer he couldn't refuse."

In-demand Efron has also been slated to take over from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway when the Brit's run in Equus comes to an end. The 21 year old hunk has denied those rumors.

Disney is just milking this shit for cash. There's not going to be any heart (no pun intended) in the fourth movie.

[Pikarya]

PotC series sucks anyways. Shit is way watered down, especially the giant negra sea monster.

[Headspace]

Well I've officially lost interest. Hard enough dealing with the Depp fangirls.

[Titanss]

This sounds stupid. The other 3 were pimpness tho.

[Toth]

Um...look at the source and who they told. There doesn't seem to be more credibility here.

[SamanosukeShiva]

wtf if that's true, they just flushed the movie down the toilet.

[Acturus]

Um...look at the source and who they told. There doesn't seem to be more credibility here.

Copypasta can also be found on IMDB.

For the record, none of the recent Pirates 4 rumors have any truth, including the so-called record 50 million dollar payday for Depp.

Some pretty funny stuff, though. Sacha Cohen? Tim Burton? Studios are way too protective of their franchises for that sort of thing.
