Looks like Johnny is glutton for punishment?

I never got past 20 minutes in to Pirates 2.

Tonto??!!

Johnny Depp to star in more Disney projects, including "Pirates 4"

Quote:

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Superstar actor Johnny Depp has signed on to three new Disney projects, including the fourth installment of the blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, the entertainment industry newspaper Variety confirmed Thursday.

Along with the reprisal of off-beat pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, Depp will star as the long-suffering Native American sidekick Tonto in a new version of the iconic "Lone Ranger," produced by hit producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Goodness.

Pirates I - great. II - OK. III - sucked so bad I can't even comprehend I paid money to see it. Don't know if I could pay to see IV

How about:

Quote:

If this wasn't enough for the 45-year-old actor, Depp will also play the Mad Hatter in director Tim Burton's adaptation of the classic "Alice in Wonderland," using a mix of 3D animation and performance capture technology similar to that used for 2007's "Beowulf."

Ditto.

I don't think I could pay to see 4. But I am looking forward to Alice.

I'm okay with Pirates 4. The franchise has gotten silly enough to accept a long string of sequels. And frankly, it's an open enough concept that they can change out casts and storylines to keep the franchise fresh enough to be fun. Just don't expect Shakespeare.

I hope they drop the Will-and-Elizabeth storyline though, since they pretty much tied up those strings. I wouldn't mind cameos, but I'd hope they wouldn't be the central characters. How about a storyline about the redhead getting swept up in a world of vice, becoming a "fille de nuit" and ending up a successful pirate (over the course of several movies, naturally). Like the Swann storyline, only a lowbrow chick instead of a Governor's daughter.

Alice could be cool. A little worried after seeing Burton's interpretation of Willie Wonka. But then again, Alice lends itself so well to weirdness that it could be wonderful. I've certainly seen worse Alices (than I imagine Tim Burton would do)

I just had an image of Carrot Top as "The Redhead" and it wasn't pretty.

So says I, Chernabog Jones.

I mostly enjoyed Pirates III but don't really have much interest in a fourth. No interest in a live action Alice (the whole enterprise from book to various adaptations -- including Disney's -- are way overrated in my opinion).

Really don't care about a Lone Ranger movie.
