Co-writer of the three Pirates of the Caribbean movies has quashed some of the rumours circulating about the fourth edition to the series of swashbuckling adventures.
Rumours have said that Depp is set to make a huge $56 million for Pirates 4 and that Sacha Baron Cohen and Russel Brand will co-star while Tim Burton is on board to direct.
He revealed on Wordplay Forums: 'For the record, none of the recent Pirates 4 rumors have any truth, including the so-called record 50 million dollar payday for Depp.'
He added: 'Some pretty funny stuff, though. Sacha Cohen? Tim Burton? Studios are way too protective of their franchises for that sort of thing. '
It has been confirmed that Depp will return as loveable rogue Captain Jack Sparrow but, it is thought that Keria Knightley will not be returning as Elizabeth, Terry writes: 'All I know is what I read, which is that Keira is not interested in doing another Pirates film, so that means the Elizabeth character cannot come back.'
So it looks as though Pirates 4 is not going to be Sweeney Todd incarnate and that it will probably stick to what we are used to, which is for the best really.
No production date has been set yet.
