Johnny Depp May Not Film The Fourth “Pirates Of The Caribbean” Due To Disney Chief Executive Dick Cook Being Let Go
Posted on 22. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
Johnny Depp may not appear in the next Pirates of the Caribbean film, the Oscar-nominated actor has revealed.
Following the departure of Disney chief executive Dick Cook last Friday, Johnny has decided he will have to wait to see the script for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides before he will commit to the movie.
Johnny – who has played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the previous three installments of the pirate adventure trilogy – says he was “shocked and very sad” about the news when Dick phoned to tell him he was leaving. Original franchise cast members Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley have already parted ways with Pirates.
“There’s a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment,” he explains. “He is the utmost gentleman, so he made the call himself. He didn’t give me a reason. I didn’t see this coming. There was no reason to see this coming.”
Johnny credits Dick with convincing him to sign on for Pirates of the Caribbean in the first place.
“He’s instantly trustworthy. And you generally don’t meet people at the studios you trust. He’s a rare beast.”

Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by CSS.
Johnny Depp is campaigning for the title of “Best Celebrity Tipper” after leaving a $4,000 tip after a late-night dinner at a Chicago restaurant.
The 46-year-old Oscar-nominated actor was in the Windy City celebrating a red carpet screening of his new movie crime drama Public Enemies with a group of friends – including his co-star Marion Cotillard and the film’s director Michael Mann – when he left the generous tip at Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse.
“Depp hosted a party of 15 people, including Mann and Cotillard, and the tip was split 12 ways. Depp is the finest of all the stars I have ever waited on. And he is a true icon, and his ability to respect others is phenomenal. He loves Chicago, and Chicago loves him. Depp is one cool and generous dude,” server Mohammed A. Sekhani told The Chicago Sun-Times this week.

Posted on 11. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
Will Smith has been named the “Most Bankable Star in Hollywood” in Forbes Magazine’s 2009 ranking of Star Currency.
The stars were ranked on ability to attract financing for a project, box office success, and appeal to different audience demographics–among other similar factors.
The financial magazine surveyed more than 150 entertainment industry professionals, including producers and directors.
“[Will] can move from doing the pop film to an Ali to a Seven Pounds to The Pursuit of Happyness, so he’s able to play in all worlds,” said John Burman, special projects director for Forbes Media. “I think people just like watching him on screen.”
“Will Smith stands alone as the only actor to score a perfect 10 among industry voters in the Star Currency survey. He has shown, time and again, that, in today’s world, regardless of the material, people want to watch Will Smith,” said Ashok Amritraj, chairman and CEO of Hyde Park Entertainment. “He is cross-genre and proved it multiple times,” Amritraj added.
The Top 10 “Bankable Hollywood Stars” are:
1. Will Smith
2. Johnny Depp
3. Leonardo DiCaprio
4. Angelina Jolie
5. Brad Pitt
6. Tom Hanks
7. George Clooney
8. Denzel Washington
9. Matt Damon

Tim Burton to Direct Pirates of the Caribbean 4?!
Posted on 09. Oct, 2008 by CSS.
Johnny Depp is reason enough for us all to flood the theatres when Pirates 4 finally arrives, but now we may have another big reason- word is Tim Burton may be directing! I would love to see what he would do!
Our proven informant (who we’re forced to keep anonymous) wants you to know the following info should be taken with a “grain of salt and a dose of pepper,” things are still in motion, but here goes anyway. Wondering how they’re going to make a whole Pirates movie with just Jack Sparrow? Or who else might return? Read on!
Most excitingly, there are talks of Captain Jack having a brother in the next movie, possibly to be played by Sacha Baron Cohen (perfect!) or Russell Brand (even more perfect!) Of course, that’s probably just fantasy casting, but why would either of those comedians turn the role down? As we’ve mentioned before, the new movie might kick off a trilogy, which would revolve around Captain Jack’s search for the Fountain of Youth.
Geoffrey Rush and director Gore Verbinski are apparently both planning to return, but… and this is a big maybe… Tim Burton might direct instead. Tim Burton! If there is a single director who could make people excited for a fourth Pirates movie, it has to be Burton.
