Johnny Being Offered $55 MIL To Reprise Role

Disney has offered Johnny Depp $55 million to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a 4th Pirates of the Caribbean film, according to Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times. That payday surpasses the previous Hollywood record for a single performance, formerly held by Tom Hanks, who is currently receiving $49 million for Angels & Demons, the follow-up to The DaVinci Code. That's a lot of swag, but there's only one Johnny Depp, and with some $2.7 billion in the bank from POTC films, Disney knows a real treasure when they see one...

	lmfao same, i mean the first was a masterpiece. the plots after that definitely were not even comparable, but i love jack sparrow's character so much that even if everything around sparrow was shit, just watching johnny play him would be worth it. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	I think a fourth one could be amazing if Will and Elizabeth weren't in it. I loved Jack in all 3 movies, but hated Will and Elizabeth from the very beginning. They could keep Barbossa, too. IDK, I think it sounds awesome as long as Orlando and Keira stay the hell away. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	Or did Barbossa die? I don't even remember. The 3rd one was pretty awful. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	I really don't think so either. There was SO MUCH HYPE around the Da Vinci Code book that the movie of course would do well, but nowhere near that many people have read Angels & Demons. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Just say no, Johnny Boy. Please. What other stories is there to tell? I wasn't paying attention through the 3rd one...didn't they do through time and end up in China or some shit. I don't know.
