"We're still working on it" – producer Jerry Bruckheimer discusses Johnny Depp's potential return to "Pirates of the Caribbean" pic.twitter.com/GrIre7W4bm
I thought the ship had sailed for Johnny Depp doing another Pirates of the Caribbean movie, but I was wrong. That is because when the Associated Press asked Producer Jerry Bruckheimer if the actor is returning to the franchise, he had an answer that will make fans happy.
“We’re still working on it. Nothing is definitive yet,” the mega-producer said. “But we continue to take little baby steps getting towards a screenplay.”
At least it is not a no. I mean, it took him 36 years to release a Top Gun sequel. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End was only 15 years ago, so we are halfway there.
So last week some guy, who we never heard of, who worked at Disney left (or was asked to walk the plank depending who you read) and his departure has put Pirates of the Caribbean 4 in trouble. The LA Times spoke to Captain Sparrow aka Johnny Depp about Dick Cook’s departure and he told them without the guy who brought him aboard for the first one, he is not sure he wants to do the fourth one. He told them that he really trusted Cook and the feeling was mutual because the studio wasn’t sure of the direction that Depp wanted to take Sparrow in the first one but Cook stood by him and as we saw they won out.
As for the fourth planned “Pirates” movie, Depp said while he has a potential deal in place that will depend on how good the script is, his passion for the project at the moment has been severely dampened by the news that Cook will no longer be around.
“There’s a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment,” Depp said. “It was all born in that office.”
I have a feeling we might not be getting a fourth Pirates for a while because Depp seems very loyal and this guy Cook sounds like someone you want to be loyal too. Plus it just seems to be delayed indefinitely and with rumors that both Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are out and the third one doing so poorly, it sounds like POTC4 is in big trouble? Maybe we will just get the Son of Pirates of the Caribbean in about 10 years?
Paul Karslake's ‘You’ve forgotten one very important thing… I’m Keith Richards mate’ the latest amazing painting he painted of Keith Richards and Johnny Depp sold for $30,000 on May 25th! The first painting he painted of Keith Richards as a pirate was Johnny Depp's inspiration for Pirates of the Caribbean's Jack Sparrow.
Karslake also told me that he is working on some more art and if you are like me you can't wait to see it! Check out Paul Karslake's website and Artisan Fine Art to see more of his awesome artwork!
