Pirates of the Caribbean

On Friday, Johnny Depp, decked out as Jack Sparrow announced that Disney will be releasing another Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Planning for the fourth installment of the Pirates of The Caribbean has already begun, but it's being done without one of its biggest stars.

Orlando Bloom is reportedly bowing out of the latest installment of the Pirates franchise. He played blacksmith Will Turner in the previous three wildly popular films.

“Orlando loved the films but thinks it’s time to bow out because they tied up nicely for his character Will Turner,” a source has said.

Disney just snagged itself a new up-and-coming leading man.

Taylor Kitsch, who has starred in Friday Night Lights and this summer's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has been cast as the lead in John Carter of Mars, a new Disney film franchise based on a series of books, which the company hopes will be as popular as the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

The films will tell the story of John Carter, a veteran of the American Civil War, who mysteriously finds himself on Mars, caught suddenly in a battle between alien races.

To quote our mom: We need this like we need a loch in kop.

What the hell are they thinking????

Some a-hole has decided to remake Clue.

Our friend John told us about it last night and we could only think of one thing:

“Flames, on the side of my face. Breathing…breathless…heaving breaths.”

Why must they screw around with a film that is already brilliant and perfect?

In these troubled financial times, you need all the safe bets you can muster.

Given the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Disney chairman Dick Cook held a press conference at Los Angeles' Kodak Theatre on Wednesday to announce the studio’s plans for three upcoming films, all centered around Johnny Depp, the Mouse’s new cash cow.

Thank God they didn’t think those movies succeeded because of Orlando Bloom or Keira Knightley. (Is it just us or is she getting screechier?)
