Depp open to fourth Pirates movie

IF all goes right, Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny Depp might soon be singing "Yo ho ho, give me a fourth bottle of rum".
The star of the upcoming film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, told Entertainment Weekly magazine in an issue out today that he was open to making a fourth film in the blockbuster series, which has earned more than $US1.7 billion ($2.06bn) at worldwide box offices.
"As long as you're doing it for the right reasons, why not?" Depp told the magazine. "If we came up with a story where we could explore something absurd or funny or totally insane."
In the movies, Depp plays a buccaneer known as Captain Jack Sparrow, distinguished as much for his swishy hips and love of adventure as his pirating skills. The 43-year-old actor's portrayal of wildly funny Sparrow has been credited with much of the franchise's popularity.
The first film in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, was a surprise hit with audiences and critics, and last year's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest turned in blockbuster results despite mixed reviews for too many plot twists.
At World's End debuts on May 25 and anticipation is running high. But the stars, including Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, are remaining mostly mum when asked to explain the plot of the third film.
"Someone asked me, 'So tell us about your character's arc in the third movie,'" Bloom told Entertainment Weekly. "I said, 'Dude, the writers can't even explain the third movie.'"
If, like the second movie, At World's End takes its lumps for a twisted plot, Depp is not worried.
"With this one, they're probably going to do the same thing and maybe even go below the belt," he said of the critics.
Depp praised the acting of Richards, who plays Depp's father in the movie and whom Depp has credited with inspiring his portrayal of Jack Sparrow.
"What I didn't expect was he was going to be such a great actor," Depp said. "It was like a gunslinger who arrived in the town, charmed all the women and impressed all the men and then split."

Depp is now marrying his long term girlfriend because of a recent health scare. |

I think Depp is one of the finest actors of his generation, very diverse and passionate. His "problem" is that he's also beautiful - and beauty can also be a curse, especially when people focus on that and not your talent. |

I like Edward Norton, DiCaprio, Paul Giamatti, and Matt Damon moreso. |

I agree. I think Depp is an extremely talented actor.

I love his Pirate Jack character, even if the story line is lame. Looking forward to seeing this movie ..even if it is just for Depp and Keith!! |

Well...I'm glad Keith has finally earned his ears. Must be payback to Mick for accepting that knighthood.

Maybe the guys at Disney will cast Keith as Captain Hook in a remake of Peter Pan?
