Yeah, it's a lot of money, but history has sort of proven that Johnny only connects with a mass audience with this role, and I think they've done a decent job the whole way through with the Pirates films. A fourth one has the potential of making the same kind of money the second one did. If it does, Disney by all rights should pay him that much, if that's what it takes to get him onboard. You can imitate, but you can't duplicate that performance. I heard about it in Entertainment Weekly.

It was floating around a few weeks ago (or maybe last week) but never seemed to gain much traction. As much as I enjoyed the first PotC film (the other two were fun, but not as good) that is an obscene amount of money. And it seems to go hand-in-hand with some of what you are saying. There is no compelling reason to tell another PotC film. But Disney thinks it can revisit the franchise for another few hundred million, so apparently it is willing to throw however much it takes to get Depp to return.
