Depp has agreed to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" pic and play Tonto in a bigscreen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger," both produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. He will also star as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s version of "Alice in Wonderland."

Disney must really like him.

I must be the only one that thought "Cars" was overrated. I caught myself looking at my watch with this movie several times. Ratatouille, The Incredibles and Finding Nemo were great though IMO.

It just suffers from pacing, but it's way more enjoyable than Finding Nemo will ever be. I must admit that I did fall in love with the movie, the characters and the incredible CG visuals, along with the incredible audio that it had during the racing scenes.

It's an obvious money maker since it's a red racing car marketed by Disney....I wish I worked for Disney...

But, YAY! Depp in yet another Pirates movie!

It seems to me Depp is too old to play Tonto.

Another overlong, boring Pirate movie?

I'll pass.

Pacing aside, I thought Cars was the most cliche and by the book Pixar movie. Its pretty much the old Tom Cruise formula. Young hot shot with incredible potential ends up getting a reality check, enters a romance to help himself get through it, only to miraculously come out on top in the end.

Well, as an old friend of Johnny's would say, "The horror . . . the horror . . . the horror . . . "

Holy mother of...

Depp To Earn $61M for Pirates 4

Johnny Depp is to earn $61 million for the fourth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film.

The staggering sum is the largest upfront payment in film history and will see Johnny, 45, move to the top of Hollywood's rich list - overtaking Will Smith - when he reprises his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.

A source said: "It's a hell of a lot of money for one movie but there's only one man who can play Captain Jack Sparrow - and that's Johnny Depp.

"Pirates just wouldn't be the same without him, so they were more than willing to smash the record books to land Depp again. He's been the star of the show every time."

Earlier this year, Will was named the highest earning actor in Hollywood by Forbes magazine after he grossed $76 million in one year.

However, Johnny's new deal will see his earnings soar to $137 million.
