With his acting cred firmly established after films like ED WOOD, SLEEPY HOLLOW and DONNIE BRASCO, it looks like Johnny Depp is going to do what so many other fine actors have done before: let Jerry Bruckheimer turn them into action heroes.
Depp is in talks to star in Bruckheimer's feature film translation of the Disneyland ride PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. CARIBBEAN tells the high adventure tale of a band of... well... pirates and their adventures in... well... the Caribbean, and is set to start shooting this October with Gore Verbinski (THE MEXICAN) directing. Not only is Depp in talks to do CARIBBEAN, but he's also considering going straight from that to TAKEDOWN, another actioner set to start shooting next March.
