Writer Terry Rossio Says Pirates 4 Talk Is Untrue

captain jack sparrowAnyone hear recently that Johnny Depp was going to be paid a heck of a lot for Pirates of the Caribbean 4? There were also some rumours floating around that Sasha Baron Cohen would have a part, as would Russell Brand. Apparently Tim Burton was also being considered to direct. Well if all those didn’t ring your bullshit alarm then your bullshit alarm needs new batteries.

Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy writer Terry Rossio recently posted a message on a forum confirming that all these rumours were indeed, bullshit.

For the record, none of the recent Pirates 4 rumors have any truth, including the so-called record 50 million dollar payday for Depp.

Some pretty funny stuff, though. Sacha Cohen? Tim Burton? Studios are way too protective of their franchises for that sort of thing.

Don’t you just hate tabloid talk?

    well, no shit. :P
    I wonder how many people bought it in the 4 days(?) that rumor was going around.
    But I have to admit, hearing about Cohen and Burton got me thinking…that would be awsome. x)
    I know they’d never kick out Verbinski but Borat is better then the other greasy guy, if they are picking one of them

    I love the Pirates movies,they are basically my life, but the ending to the third movie just wasn't right.I wish they didn't leave a slot open for a fourth, because it might not live up to the first movie.

    nem tudok ugyan angolul de elég laposnak t?nik az új film. Lenne sokkal jobb ötletem is. Ha valakit érdekel a dolog mítosz lények egész soka állna készen a bemutatásra. pl. hárpiák akik etetik a sárkányt vagy sell?k akiket egy elektromos angolna védene. bizony ebb?l egy jó kis történet lenne. És az egyész itt a kis fejembe. pont menne az életvizéhet!! ha valakit érdekel magyar vagyok.
