Quickhits: Pitt Plays with State, Berg to Helm Tonight and About Those Deathly Orlando Bloom Rumors

So they denied a specific plot point, but not that a fourth movie was in the works? my god, what monster series has been created here?

I say kill Sparrow. Depp's impersonation of Keith Richards is a far cry from acting. Ruined both movies for me, rather like Jar Jar.

Well, I think the fact that Johnny's performance stays so strong with POTC viewers means exactly what I've thought of him all along....he's so into character (& loves what he does..acting)that you can't help but be intrigued and want to see more! My niece, Hailey, will KILL me for this...but I think the rumor of Orlando getting the 'pirate's boot' in a coming sequel is something that will keep me coming back just to see THAT happen.

Orlando Bloom's death (in the third or forth movie..) is expected, but nevertheless will bring devestation to a lot of his fans, and maybe ruin the movie for some. I say keep Bloom, throw out Kiera (I never liked her; seemed to snotty to me)

Orlando Bloom Rox!!! Get rid of Keira and Johnny!!!

Orlando Bloom is the only reason I and other young women attend the viewing of POTC. Johnny Depp has his followers too, the older women and Bloom has the attention of the younger women, that and Keira's male admirer's gives everyone something to enjoy while watching POTC. The movies success is based on equality for all.

I agree with above. If they kill off Orlando, quite a bit of fans will stop going to the movies. What is Disney thinking?

THE ONLY REASON TO WATCH THE MOVIE IS ORLANDO BLOOM, TAKE HIM AWAY AND I WILL NOT PAY TO SEE THE MOVIE OR BUY THE TAPE!

Cheryl, you must be like...12. If you only go to see a movie because one man plays in it that you find attractive, that isn't very bright. You may use the word "woman" but your actions scream "child".

personally, as long as someone gets killed off (honorably or not) i'll still watch! but if no one dies soon... screw the POTC.

I'll take Orlando Bloom over Johnny Depp any day of the week. If Disney does away with Orlando then POTC won't get any more of my money.

Hey I am only 19 but I still like J-Depp he's just not for older women yaknow. We have more of a fanbase around Johnny than Orlando and you say he's for older women?

Eh I loved Orlando in LOTR but when I saw Troy it ruined it for me. Let's just say I don't have the same viewpoint for him anymore.

I think without Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow in POTC will be a big loss. He plays a great pirate with a sense of humor and is fun to watch. I seen both POTC movies and have the DVD's'. POTC can't get any better than that.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I love both Orlando Bloom and the POTC series but he better not die! I have to say that I would still watch the movies because they are amazing, but I would be absolutely devastated if Will didn't make it! I disagree with the article in that he IS a necessary character, and I'm not just saying that because he's unbelievably hot (which he is), but because Dead Man's Chest simply did not reveal enough about his character. I didn't like the second installment to the series, but believe that the third one will redeem POTC. We still have so much to learn about Will, as implied in both movies, and if he doesn't survive, it will have been a pointless try at mystery, and will kill an entire branch of the story's plot. For a successful film or book, you can't just focus on the main characters (and I think Keira Knightley is a horrible actress but absolutely necessary as well), you have to have intricate minor conflicts woven in as well to make for a complete storyline.

I like J. Depp, Orlando AND Keira. I like the interplay between Johnny and Orlando, Johnny and Keira, Kiera and Orlando, and I LOVE the minor characters. Why try to ruin a good thing???????

It's so obvious that this whole story was made up to begin with by someone who is envious of Orlando and the success of the franchise. It's just common sense. Just think about it -- even if the rumor were true, Disney would not be STUPID enough to give something like that away. Studios go to extremes of keeping screenplays even from actors for films in which they are trying to protect plots from being leaked. Do you actually believe Disney would let something like that come out especially with the success of the third installment hanging in the balance? Furthermore, do you actually think Disney would be DUMB and STUPID enough to kill off a character that plays an enormous role in bringing in theater goers? Who do you think is drawing the females in? It’s both Johnny AND Orlando. Keira and the pirate-themed action adventure are bringing in the males. ALL THREE ACTORS are ESSENTIAL to the continued success of the franchise. Disney has even made statements to that effect on SEVERAL occasions. The second installment, which has a plot that largely revolves around Orlando’s and Keira’s characters, just past the billion-dollar mark in revenues. Do you actually think Disney would be foolish enough to do away with the formula that has made it so successful? Heck no! Therefore, again, this whole story is made up by someone who is very obviously suffering a severe case of just plain 'ole jealousy and that is clearly reflected in the negative, bitter undertones of the article. It would be real easy for a so-called journalist to print such a false rumor and then tell Disney and/or the Daily Star "I got it from your camp, but I can't reveal my sources," thereby hindering a lawsuit from either, then come right back and say to the public, "Sorry guys for the false report. Disney says it's not true." But the so-called journalist would have still gotten the false story out there fulfilling his sole purpose of trying to cast a negative shadow on Orlando and the franchise. But, "Erik" and “Ryan” (might even be the same person) or whoever else came up with this lie, you're not fooling anyone. And judging by the remarks, your plan seems to be backfiring. It’s so pathetic to allow yourself to be consumed by envy. Get past it and be happy that others are doing well.

Kiera, Orlando and Johnny ARE essential to the success of the movies! It didn't have that wow factor of the first and doesn't leave you feeling satisfied like the last one is sure to.Remember when people were dissapointed with LOTR 2? Because it ended without answering a lot of questions or without explaining a lot of plot. Well, the 3rd took care of all that. I think the same will be true with the future Pirate movies.

NO! will can't die

these r the characters that make the movie:
Jack
Will

Barbossa
