"It's a lot of swag but there's only one Johnny Depp," says the Mail's source. "They simply cannot make another Pirates movie without Jack Sparrow."They can, however, make another Pirates movie without Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, who aren't expected sign on, presumably because the whole of the film's budget has already been deposited into Depp's bank account. Pirates 4 will allegedly follow Captain Jack Sparrow's quest for the fountain of youth, which is actually located in Depp's real-life backyard because he bought it last week.A swashbuckling good deal!
