Pirates Sequels – More of the Same?
Time.com – Run For Your Lives! The Blockbusters Are Coming!
By RICHARD CORLISS, JEFFREY RESSNER, LEV GROSSMAN, JAMES PONIEWOZIK, BELINDA LUSCOMBE, REBECCA WINTERS KEEGAN
Coming soon to every theater near you: more of the freakin’ same! Summer means blockbusters, and that usually means sequels, prequels or remakes.
Three years ago, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl vaulted from prerelease shrug to summer smash, earning $305 million in North America and $652 million worldwide. So here comes the sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (opening July 7), which was shot at the same time as Pirates III, due out next summer.
For this double voyage, Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer re-enlisted the old crew: director Gore Verbinski, writer Terry Rossio and stars Johnny Depp (as scurvy Captain Jack), Orlando Bloom (the young hero, Will Turner) and Keira Knightley (Will’s fiance, Elizabeth Swann).
“There’s a kid inside most of the people on this crew,” Verbinski says, “that gets juiced to get up in the morning and say, ‘Hey, we’re doing this.’ This is the type of movie that says it’s fun to go to the theater again.”
The very notion of sequels might horrify Depp, Hollywood’s best current example of dreamboat movie star and superserious character actor. “It’s a dangerous game,” he acknowledges. “Rocky went into almost Warholian levels of absurdity.
Possible Role for Depp?
A PLAN to make a film of the life of Michael Hutchence, the rock star who killed himself in 1997, has run into strong opposition from his family – by Paul Ham for TimesOnLine.co.uk.
Nick Egan, a British film director and friend of the INXS frontman, is looking for actors to play the roles of the singer, as well as the late Paula Yates, his girlfriend, and Bob Geldof.
Among the actors Egan is considering for the role of Hutchence are Johnny Depp, Hayden Christensen, Eric Bana and a little-known singer-actor from Australia called Michael Piccirilli.
The new biopic is due to go into pre-production in the next three months and is scheduled for release next year.

A: Disney will have its own “official site” with its own content. We are the point Disney has chosen to distribute materials through to other fan sites, not that we are the only outlet, or unreachable. Everything that’s said isn’t going to be pretty (filmmaking rarely is) but we can be depended on to be professional, thorough, as accurate as journalistically possible and as unbiased as we can possibly be. The people who make the decisions know that.

The Libertine on DVD June 27th
Moviesonline – Genius Products will be releasing director Laurence Dunmore’s gripping and powerful drama “The Libertine”, which stars Johnny Depp onto DVD June 27th.
Adapted by Stephen Jeffreys from his own play, this is based on the true story of John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester, who was a poet, courtier and notorious rake. Johnny Depp stars in “The Libertine” as the scandalously decadent John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester.
The film follows the Earl’s adventures in London, from his passionate romance with a young actress, Elizabeth Barry (Samantha Morton), to the writing of a scurrilous play which blisteringly and bawdily lampoons the very monarch who commissioned it, Charles II (John Malkovich), leading to the Earl’s banishment and eventual downfall.
Pirates of the Caribbean Online sets sail in 2007
Disney’s MMORPG based on Pirates films won’t be released alongside Dead Man’s Chest, will appear at E3 – By Tim Surette — GameSpot.
Pirates of the Caribbean Online
Platform: PC
Publisher: Disney Online
It appears as though gamers can stash that eye patch–for now. Disney Online’s upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Pirates of the Caribbean Online, won’t be walking the plank to retail waters in 2006. According to the game’s Web site and a statement from Disney, the MMORPG will now plunder stores in 2007.
In the game, players interact with characters from the films as they strive to become the Caribbean’s most infamous pirate. Disney is sailing into uncharted waters, claiming that Pirates of the Caribbean Online will be the first MMOG “designed for kids and families.” No matter who is playing, they’ll have to have a steady income as Pirates will be charging a monthly fee.
The man who would be king
In terms of movie-going, there are many things to be thankful for and high on my list is the existence of Johnny Depp: a gorgeous dude with precise, chiseled features who, despite the mainstream looks, has consistently chosen leftfield roles — from the freakish (“Edward Scissorhands”) to the lop-sided (“Ed Wood”) to the difficult/nuanced (“Dead Man”) to the downright campy (“Pirates of the Caribbean”)- By KAORI SHOJI.

These roles have defined his career and he’s matured into an actor who with a single glance or a flexing of his fingers, can change the entire ambience of the screen into something that is at once, more textured, meaningful, infinitely suggestive. To watch a Johnny Depp film is to understand his character (and, by implication, the story) more profoundly. It’s to experience an impact on the senses that few of his contemporaries can deliver.
And now “The Libertine” shows him at his most snarky and audacious; the film opens with a monologue in which he ensnares the camera with a shifty gaze to assure us: “You will not like me.”
Depp is John Willmot, second earl of Rochester, a brilliant but despicable rogue who drank and generally debauched himself to death at the age of 33 and in the process managed to offend most of the aristocracy of London during the Restoration. The earl had been a gallant soldier during his youth and helped King Charles II reclaim the throne from Oliver Cromwell,
