OMG I love Dark Shadows!! My mom used to watch the original version and I was a fan of the remake … a movie version will rule.

I wish you would have mentioned his movie DARK SHADOWS where he will play Barnabas Collins! :( Oh well. I think Johnny is worth it. He is the BEST male actor of our time. ALL of his characters seem like different people to me! COMPLETLEY!

THAT IS JUST CRAZY!!
I love Pirates but $55 million just for one movie!
How do you even spend all that money! I hope he does some good with it.

He’s worth that and more. He’s my fave Actor.
Kiera’s and Orlando’s story is done so they shouldn’t be in another Pirate’s movie. However, I wouldn’t see another POTC movie w/o Jack Sparrow.

Depp actually gives a lot of money to charity, so that seems fine to me. He doesn’t hoard it and he is definitely extremely talented, therefore if anyone deserves a giant paycheck its him.

$55m is nothing compared to the $70m that Tom Cruise got for Mission Impossible, and $75m for the sequal (not sure about MI3). He also got the same sort of amount with War of the Worlds, getting a percentage of profits rather than a fixed sum.

Regardless, a 4th film? That’ll be awesome! I love the PoTC films :D

I think he deserves it. All his movies are really good and I feel its the least they can do to give him the recognition he deserves. I cant believe he still hasnt won an oscar. There are many other actors that werent as good as him but were making more money.

Hell yes! Definately money well spent. Johnny Depp has been around for decades making fantastic movies and honing his gift as an actor and FINALLY he gets the recognition and paycheck he deserves!
BTW, for Laura, I just wanted to say that a lot of good is being done with the money that Mr. Depp gets paid.
He contributes to the Children’s Hospital, Los Angeles as well as other causes. ;)

Call me crazy, but the thought makes me ill! Can you imagine the good that could be done in the world with $55 million?!? It’s a shame.

Johnny Depp’s hotness is priceless.

money well spent. POTC is nothing without johnny depp. and i read that knightly and bloom aren’t even written into this 4th installment. which, in my opinion, is great. i think both their characters have run their course.

I’d like to think Johnny Depp isn’t a money boy…it appears maybe he is. The franchise is a huge special effect with ZERO story as the series moved forward. Depp’s still cool,but it was nice that he retired as Jack Sparrow and now he’s back?

$700 billion dollar bailout…INDEED. I don’t think any actor is worth 55 million dollars.

$55 million is a STEAL for the hardworking, high caliber work of Sir Depp. He’s the best actor of my generation–well, him and DiCaprio.

I think Jack Nicholson got $60 mill for Batman. Where does all this money sit? Can someone tell me? In accounts? Stocks? I am so confused….He should at least give some back to the community,ec..

You would think they could take some schlub and run him through a nip/tuck factory to make him look exactly like Jack Sparrow for a little less than 55 million…

I think it’s well spent… Johnny Depp is definately one of the best actors in Hollywood right now.

I just fear Disney will be making a big mistake to do another Pirates movie… I mean where can you leave off, honestly, with that last one? The third one was soooooooo on going and long… liked it but didn’t love it. I just don’t think they should make another film.

Even though I’ll def see it when it comes out hahaha

PS. His best movie is Nightmare on Elm Street! Oh when he is wearing his preppy gear topped off with the bass shoes it just does something to me!

Mr. Gyllenhaal — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 22:25:38 +0000

DAYUM…I am not a huge fan of this series. The third one was not that good, in my opinion! He is a great actor and I love him to death so I think he deserves every penny!!

He’s totally worth it….but i didn’t think they would have to lure him like that. He reportedly had already said that he would love to continue playing Captain Jack in future films.

I never saw the movies but I’ve heard they are good. I work with kids and they all still obsess over it, so I’m sure it will bring in just as much money as the others. $55 million is so much money for one role, I wish I was getting $55 million in the span of my lifetime!

I love him. Especially when he’s dirty and in a pirate costume !!
OH YES

Well, that’s great and all, but what about Kiera? Surely Orlando would do it without a doubt, but Kiera publicly announced with magazine interviews that her quote, “Pirate days are over” and doesn’t want to film anymore. HMMMMMMMM…
