Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Rumors Debunked

Terry Rossio, co-screenwriter for all three Pirates of the Caribbean films thus far, and is working on the fourth, has made an announcement and denied the circulating rumors about Pirates of the Caribbean 4. The rumors have alleged that Johnny Depp is making a whopping $56 million for the fourth film to Sacha Baron Cohen and Russell Brand co-starring to Tim Burton directing. Rossio clears things up:

For the record, none of the recent Pirates 4 rumors have any truth, including the so-called record 50 million dollar payday for Depp.

Some pretty funny stuff, though. Sacha Cohen? Tim Burton? Studios are way too protective of their franchises for that sort of thing.

The only thing that has been officially announced so far is that Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow in the fourth film.


No production date has been set.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was released May 20th, 2011 and stars Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush, Ian McShane, Kevin McNally, Sam Claflin, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Stephen Graham. The film is directed by Rob Marshall.

    my guess is that part 4 will be of Jack trying to find the Fountain of Youth which idk why I think but will be like in Mexico or Somewhere in Central America I guess Will and Liz will make a appearance Bloom will get dragged in by the madness of Jack's and Balbosa actions but idk thats just my stab at it.

    I hope they create a totally different storyline with the fourth. Maybe explore more about sparrows past..and just focus on that.

    Okay I want to clear something up for the people who are worried about Bloom and Knightly being in the 4th...

    THEY ARE NOT IN IT.

    About half a year ago, the director was asked if he was going to do another pirates movie, and he said that he probably would, and if he did, the whole Turner story/soap opera was OVER. He said it was going to be between Sparrow and Barbossa.

    But yeah, I can't wait for the 4th. I am a huge fan of these movies. And yes, call me crazy, but I LOVED the third. LOL :-)

    I knew Vamp was going to respond to my Tim Burton comment as soon as I wrote it. haha At World's End is as dark as I want it to get Vamp. Sorry.

    brew1701... Jack Nicholson didn't actually get paid 60 million dollars for his role in Batman. He netted about 50 million because of the merchandising deal he signed with the company. He got a nice chunk from merchandising... which was damn smart on his part... but not necessarily for the role of the Joker alone.

    meh, I could care less, the third film was cramed with so much sh*t I left the theater confused and bored. the first two where really good, the thrid sucked, its was epic but to much was crammed into the film. If they do make a fourth focus on sparrow, forget Bloom and Keria

    well, pirates is already pretty dark anyway, and tim burton like any director has a specific style to his films, with some exceptions(big fish, planet of the apes) and regarding the 50 mil, remember jack, he got 60 million for joker, well deserved!

    People make up the dumbest rumors. Although I wouldn't doubt it if the 50 million payday for Depp is true.

    MovieBuff123, I respect that opinion, but I wouldn't mind seeing a dark version of "Pirates of the Caribbean," but that's most likely just the way I am. lolz.

    Anyway, I don't mind Knightly and Bloom, so I don't think I'll have an issue with that. I just want to see Captain Jack Sparrow back, and drinking enough rum to knock an elephant on it's ass.

    A fourth film? I thought it was only supposed to be a trilogy. Still, I'm onboard to plunder my booty and watch another.

    Disney really likes to murder their movies. There's never really a "should we make a sequel." They'll just keep making a movie until even the movie can't take it anymore and it shoots itself. Let it go you greedy bastards!

    That's a f*cking relief. I don't want Burton anywhere near the Pirates franchise. His vision is always too damn dark. We'll get another World's End... which sucked compared to the first two. And Cohen... f*ck. He makes one funny ass movie and everyone talks about him like he's the next comedy genius. F*ck him... his girlfriend (Amy Adams) is a better actor/actress. And Ridgl is right. Depp is a damn good actor, but no one should get 50 mil for a movie. Thats the equivelent to many movies' TOTAL budget.

    well, i dont think anyone should get 50 mil for a movie.
    and frankly, I am glad that Sascha Baron Cohen isn't in it.
    I don't think he is worth all the hullabuloo
