Disney has offered Johnny Depp $55 million to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a 4th Pirates of the Caribbean film, according to Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times. That payday surpasses the previous Hollywood record for a single performance, formerly held by Tom Hanks, who is currently receiving $49 million for Angels & Demons, the follow-up to The DaVinci Code. That’s a lot of swag, but there’s only one Johnny Depp, and with some $2.7 billion in the bank from POTC films, Disney knows a real treasure when they see one . . . . The Zone thanks Gilbert’s Girl for the news; you can read more about it on the News & Views forum. –Part-Time Poet
