More Cap'n Jack Sparrow!

Yeah, it's true. Johnny Depp has officially signed the papers and will reprise his role yet again as the eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow in what is now being called Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 : Milking The Cash Cow.

There's no official title yet, no word from director Gore Verbinski, and there's a major possibility that Kiera 'I won't wear corsets' Knightly will NOT be coming back this time around...which also means that there's no use for Orlando Bloom @ William Turner anymore. But, in any event, Pirates 4 is sailing ahead and I'm pretty sure principal photography isn't very far away. Johnny Depp once said that despite his love for Jack Sparrow, he wouldn't want to return for a fourth installment or a spin-off because it would stereotype him. I guess the character made more of an impact than he had imagined, for Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer must have unloaded so much cash into his bank that Depp will now be able to purchase his very own private island somewhere in the Caribbean.

Oh wait, he already did that months ago....*sigh*

There's a lot of skeptical feelings regarding a fourth installment and rightfully so. After At Worlds End failed by a couple of inches to deliver what was promised, I guess fans feel that a trilogy is all the franchise needs. Me? I honestly wouldn't mind another Pirates flick! Something tells me the fourth installment will be much better than the third, and I'm sensing a fifth episode will inevitably ensue afterwards.
