So this is how it happens, The Daily Mail comes up with a story that Johnny Depp will be getting paid £32,000,000 ($56 million) for The Pirates of the Caribbean 4: The Fountain of Youth (ok, that’s not the title…just my addition) which would make him the highest paid actor ever, and everyone believes them.
While I am not inclined to believe something the Daily Mail says, without taking it with a grain of salt, this isn’t too hard to believe. Arguably Johnny Depp carried the entire franchise, making it almost bearable. Since the first three made over $2.68 billion worldwide, there is no reason to think that a fourth wouldn’t do well.
Would you watch a fourth Pirates movie? Or do you think they are milking the franchise too much?
