Pirates of the Caribbean: Goodbye Johnny Depp

Stuart Beatty, creator and screenwriter of five parts of the famous epic Pirates of the Caribbean, stunned fans of the film. The representative of the studio announced the removal of Johnny Depp from participating in the project. In his interview, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Goodbye Johnny Depp,” the screenwriter gave 3 reasons why such a tough decision was made. It is noteworthy that the actors included in the project "pirates" agreed with the screenwriter.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Goodbye Johnny Depp

 

 

First reason: 55 years - retirement age. Actor Johnny Depp in 2018 was 55 years old. Playing clockwork, fun and never aging Jack Sparrow, at this age, is impossible. Although Johnny, judging by statements on social networks, does not agree with such arguments.

 

The second reason: drop in box office. Four parts of the "pirates" showed colossal fees around the world. However, the last film overshadowed both the studio and the actors. Although film distribution experts noted that the 5 part was not so bad. With a budget of 230 million dollars, world fees amounted to almost 800 million. In previous periods, with the same budget, fees exceeded the 1 billion mark.

 

In the article “Pirates of the Caribbean: Goodbye Johnny Depp”, Stuart Beatty talked about attracting Deadpool authors to the team. Perhaps in the 6-th part of the "pirates" the viewer will see the actor from the same team. The third reason for eliminating Johnny Depp is related to the restructuring of the cast. After all, the principle of the “new broom” has not been canceled.

Let's hope that in the new series of "pirates" called "Treasures of the Lost Abyss", Disney does not spoil anything. According to experts, the humor in the films "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Deadpool" is significantly different. Pirates are perceived more by the adult generation - 30-60 years old, and Deadpool - 18-30. Silly jokes, tough humor, defiant behavior - I really don’t want Jack Sparrow to become the same.
