Johnny Depp Shrugs Shoulders - Nears Deal for Pirates of the Caribbean 5
Wed, July 6, 2011 
Johnny Depp holds a special title as of this past weekend. He's the only actor to headline three $1 billion grossing films. The fact that all three (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Alice in Wonderland and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) are crap is irrelevant. Also interesting to note how Disney is handling the domestic under-performance of Pirates 4. By ignoring that factoid and focusing solely on its worldwide gross.
As where Depp appeared wary of slapping on the eye-liner and speaking his Jack Sparrow hybrid language of British, pirate-slang and gibberish for a fifth time during the On Stranger Tides press-rounds, The Wrap reports he's singing a different tune post Pirates 4 $1 billion cherry-busting.
Barring his approval of the script (like that was ever a concern with him and this franchise before), Depp is nearing a deal for Pirates of the Caribbean 5.
Anyone want to place bets the plot will involve everyone's favorite asexual pirate getting mixed up with Captain Ahab, Nemo, Dracula or landing on Conan Doyle's the Lost World?
