...two sequels at once (mind you, the 'World Entertainment News Network' may have as much cred as the Weekly World News):

British stars Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are in the middle of secret negotiations to spend 10 months of next year (05) shooting two sequels to Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl back-to-back.

Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer has decided to shoot the third Pirates movie at the same time as the sequel to last year's hit.

The British pair are looking at a fee of $12.6 million each for both films, while co-star Johnny Depp is able to command the highest price, as his performance as pirate Jack Sparrow made the original a phenomenal success - taking $720 million worldwide in 2003.

The source says, "They can name a high price as their love story was a very popular feature of the original and both have huge fan bases. The decision to make both movies at the same time will take them off the market for a year."

I suppose I'm pleased for all the wrong reasons.

Were you planning on shopping for Orlando?

I'm just an fan of Orlando Jones...and if Orlando Bloom is off the market...

― Huck, Tuesday, 3 August 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm trying to imagine something I would pay Orlando Bloom or Keira Knightley $12.6 million to do, and I'm coming up short a couple million.

Maybe the ILX Financiers Bloc could scrape together enough money to prevent either of them from appearing in the movie...Just think of the havoc.

Without Ornaldo or Keira, it would be just Johnny Depp and CGI skeleton pirates. The perfect movie.

In all seriousness, you know how expensive it gets setting hotel rooms on fire?

(I saw POTC as basically a Marx Bros movie, with KK as Margaret Dumont and OB as Zeppo) (and no one as Harpo...:C)

The most salient point is the fact that Ned reads a site called teenhollywood.com

So what is Ben Savage up to these days, Ned?

― Huck, Tuesday, 3 August 2004 04:47 (twenty-one years ago)

One hole the sequels are gonna have to fill is the absence of Geoffrey Rush. I recommend Michael Caine, Alan Rickman or a CGI-resurrected Burl Ives.

― Kingfish von Bandersnatch (Kingfish), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Rhys Ifans (sp?) would be good.

― Huck, Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Or Ian McShane.

Is that Lovejoy?

― Huck, Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:22 (twenty-one years ago)

It is Lovejoy. More greasy antique dealers in Hollywood films plz!

I think Orlando needs to spend a little more time worrying about BLOOMPS 2008 and a little less on frivolities like this.

He's building his campaign through the medium of fighting skellington pirates - it worked for Reagan...
