Quote:
"I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do."
"The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants."
"France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster."
[About Tracey Jacobs, his agent]: "Tracey's taken a lot of heat over the years. She has bosses and higher-ups, and every time I take on another strange project, they're going, Jesus Christ! When does he do a movie where he kisses the girl? When does he get to pull a gun out and shoot somebody? When does he get to be a fucking man for a change? When is he finally going to do a blockbuster?"

Johnny Depp News

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have often worked together. Collaborations include Edward Scissorhands (1990), Ed Wood (1994) and Sleepy Hollow (1999). Unlike the union of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, the Depp/Burton marriage seems to have been made in heaven, at least to many moviegoers.
The most common adjective used to describe their films is "quirky." In many of their works, the two artists appear to express a longing for a lost childhood. Burton can turn any story into a dream-like, somewhat gothic fantasy or fairy tale. It’s as if some dark or cruel event that happened in his youth had left him scarred forever. Depp, on the other hand, has shown a preference for eccentric but always amiable characters.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
|
The continuing sea-faring saga of Captain Jack Sparrow and his new friends Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann.
Release Date: July 7th, 2006 (wide).
Release Date Note: (3/23/05) Disney is aiming for July 7th, 2006, which is just two days shy of being the third anniversary of the release of the first movie.
Genres: Action/Adventure
Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures
Starring: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley
Directed by: Gore Verbinski
Cast Notes: (3/24/04) Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley were all quickly signed on for this sequel after the success of the first movie, but there's no word yet about what other supporting actors might return. There are likely to be new cast members as well. The British tabloids have been running stories about Keith Richards, who inspired Johnny Depp's performance, as coming aboard to play a pirate, but that should be considered strictly just a rumor until someone like Jerry Bruckheimer confirms it.

Everyone's Favourite Pirate Johnny Depp
The quirky superstar shines as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which swashbuckles its way onto Sky Movies this month. How come he's so popular with both the guys and the gals?
Girls love Johnny because.....
He's an all-round nice guy. When relative newcomer Keira Knightley arrived on the set of POTC, she was in awe of Johnny. But the Hollywood star was a sweetheart. "Johnny is fantastic. He's a lovely bloke, very funny, very down to earth," said Keira.
