Johnny Depp about to get paid $90m for a 5th Pirates film???

[The Futurist]

Because that's all they're making. Sure you get the odd breakout original movie, but it's mostly sequels.

Which comes first :the chicken or the egg ???

I don't think Depp operates that way anymore. He doesn't care about Oscars or good roles. He just wants that $$$.

For years he was just another actor. Now he gets gazillions to do Jack....good on him.

The Rum Diary? Public Enimies? Sweeney Todd? Rango? Dark Shadows?We may like this movies or not, but all of them can be considered something worth of his talent.

His best films are Ed Wood and Edward Scissorhands.

I liked him in Nightmare on Elm Street and Sleepy Hollow.

I liked him in Nightmare on Elm Street and Sleepy Hollow.

He was lucky to start his film career with one of the most popular horror movies of all time.

[Hatebox]

This doesn't surprise me and doesn't make me angry. I can't say I'll mind when the movie falls even more domestically though.

According to Terri Rossio on his website: "if the stars align, a decision might be made in October."

"stars align" meaning Depp accepting the deal, I suppose

[The Toymaker]

Absurd. But he is worth it.
