Johnny Depp Circling 'Pirates 5'
Source: TheWrap
Sources report that actor Johnny Depp is nearing the final stages of negotiations to reprise his character of Capt. Jack Sparrow for a fifth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has been working on a possible script for the fifthquel (second part of a second trilogy? is there an actual term for that? A "pentaquel", maybe?) and after several drafts and improvements, it appears that Depp is satisfied enough with the film to proceed with negotiations.
The fourth 'Pirates' movie - 'On Stranger Tides' - just recently surpassed one billion dollars worldwide, so it should come as no surprise that both Bruckheimer and Disney want to keep this particular money train rolling. While the film had a lukewarm reception here in the states, the viewing audience voted with their dollars and made the fourth outing a financial success. Plus, it behooves Depp to continue on with the franchise, seeing as how the films have netted him a whopping $350 million dollars overall.
While Disney has yet to respond or comment, with a series that has brought nearly 4 billion dollars to the studio, there is little doubt that - should Depp agree - they would instantly make another film, possibly even two. In the meantime, you can see Depp in the next Bruckheimer/Disney collaboration as Tonto in the forthcoming revamp of 'The Lone Ranger'.

I wonder if Rob Marshall will return to the director's chair if the 5th film should take-off.

Come on Johnny, French chicks can't cost that much. I'm convinced at this point that Mickey Mouse has video evidence of Depp murdering someone, hence the "Be-in-our-shit-FOREVAH" rule that seems to be in effect.

i wanna see jack sparrow on a star destroyer, not on another pirates disney movie.not that these movies are awful by any stretch of the imagination, i just wanna see a good continuity in hollywood that doesnt ivolve putting "cherished" characters in a recycling bin sequel after sequel.Maybe they need a new take with sparrow. Can anyone say: "Jedi's of the caribbean"?

Well I think Depp genuinely loves the character of jack sparrow...it's safe to say that he wants sparrow to be the defining role of his career...while the movies story lines are weak, Nobody can deny that the creation of sparrow is genius.
