Johnny Depp Pirates 4 $35 Million

Johnny Depp Pirates 4 $35 Million, Johnny Depp will receive at least $35 million for making the new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film, it has been revealed. The 46-year-old star – who plays the eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie franchise – is returning for the fourth installment and is set to become Hollywood’s highest-paid actor, topping the likes of Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson and Tom Hanks, with the huge pay day. The ‘Sleepy Hollow’ actor is guaranteed the $35 million as a minimum for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’, due for release in the 2011, and could receive even more should it be a huge box-office hit.

And of COURSE it will be a box office HIT! Disney bosses are paying Depp such a high fee because his co-stars from the previous three movies, Keira Knightley, 24, and 32-year-old Orlando Bloom, have dropped out. Geoffrey Rush will once again play Captain Barbossa, while Penelope Cruz is rumored to be in line to take the female lead. It’s a good movie for the kids – you can’t deny that. And quite honestly, that’s chump change compared to what the movie will make worldwide.
