Depp + Jolie = 'POTC 4' & 'Lone Ranger' delays...

[ALIASd]

Should Johnny Depp take the title role in the new film, 'The Tourist' starring alongside Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie it could signal a delay or the death of his continuing his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney's next 'POTC' cinematic chapter. Not to mention the previously-announced Jerry Bruckheimer production, 'The Lone Ranger'.

The emergence of Depp is surprising, since he was expected to make his next film at Disney: a fourth installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "The Lone Ranger."

OOOOOh, what a dilemma! I LOVE Johnny and Angelina...so, the thought of them being in a movie together sends chills down my spine. But, if it could cost us seeing him as our beloved Capt........maybe not. I would hope they would only delay the filming...not remove him from the movie.

Well, that's not as bad as what I thought it was going to be ... Angelina in POTC 4 and Lone Ranger. Ugh ...

After Dick Cook was booted out, it's been speculated that Depp would no longer be interested in doing another POTC film. If he is indeed as annoyed with Disney as rumor has it, I wouldn't be surprised to see him ditch both POTC and the Lone Ranger. It's not like he hasn't other offers...or a hefty bank account to fall back on.

I think Depp can still to POTC 4, since The Tourist is scheduled to start filming in Februry 2010 and POTC 4 should start in May. At least I hope that's the case. I really miss the Captain!

Depp, if your reading... Go create new roles and films, put Jack to rest.

Q: There's a worry about Johnny Depp's commitment to "Pirates 4." Are you going to be able to make him comfortable with the new people at Disney?

Bruckheimer:

I think that he was very close with Dick [Cook]. We loved him and part of our success is attributed to Dick which is fantastic, but things change. We've been through a ton of management here at Disney and have had many bosses through the years that I've been here. Somehow you adjust and the gentleman they brought in is very smart. As an executive he's had an enormous amount of success. He's been a very good partner to us, but that doesn't mean we won't work with Dick somewhere else down the line. Who knows. We'll just have to see what happens.

Bruckheimer needs to be put to rest.

Personally, I'm all for more POTC movies, with or without Captain Jack Sparrow. Entertaining though Depp is and the Jack character, there's still more than enough room for other engaging and lovable pirates.

That said, would I still love to see Depp doing POTC 4? I would. I loved all three of the existing movies, and I'm hungry for more.

I'm also intrigued with a revival of The Lone Ranger, as well. The 1981 revival did absolutely nothing but send the saga of the Masked Man back into the shadows, and that's a shame. I must admit that Depp's pretty much a perfect choice for the role.

Depp will be playing Tonto, not the Lone Ranger. Depp is the only actor they've casted so far.
