‘The Dark Knight’ Screenwriter David Goyer On ‘Batman 3’ Rumors: ‘It’s All B.S.’
It’s the second most successful movie of all-time, a cultural tour de force that’s reverberated with critics and fans alike, redefining what a summer blockbuster and a comic movie can be capable of.
To paraphrase the Joker himself: It’s changed things. There’s no going back.
But there is, of course, going forward. Three months removed from “The Dark Knight,” and it seems all anybody wants to talk about is “Batman 3” – a new “scoop” coming our way every couple of days.

Pirates 4: Is Johnny Depp The 56 Million Dollar Man?
Was anyone honestly surprised to hear Disney was actively developing Pirates of the Caribbean 4? Or the news that Johnny Depp would in fact reprise his role of Captain Jack Sparrow?
I didn’t think so.
According to the UK’s Daily Mail, Depp will receive a massive payday in the form of $56 million US (aka 32 million pounds UK) to put on the black eye-liner for a fourth time.
Normally, I wouldn’t believe this considering the source is the British tabloids which cer

Johnny Depp to Pocket $56 Million for Pirates 4
Here’s my verdict on Hollywood actors making huge and outrageous salaries (because I know you’re all dying to hear it): more power to them. They should get what they can get. Just as with athletes in the sports world. Why should we begrudge them earning obscene amounts of money for what is essentially 3 or 4 months of work? Sure, I’d like to see them do more than just pretend in front of a camera for their money, like clean out my basement, or pull those damn weeds from my backyard. But ev
Depp Getting $50million for Pirates of the Caribbean 4
There are various internet reports saying that Johnny Depp is getting paid between $50 - 75 MILLION Dollars to come back nad reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Can you say Cha-Ching? You will recall that Keira will not be returning for the next film since she seems to have moved on to new things.
As far as where the story might go some time back AICN got a scoop from a source that told them;

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Spoilers, Rumors
While Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was only first confirmed last week, and while no script is finalized yet, it's never too early to speculate on the upcoming blockbuster.We know Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow. According to Cinema Blend, two rumors about the film are now making the rounds:Captain Jack will have brother, possibly played by Sacha Baron Cohen or Russell Brand;Tim Burton will direct.It's way to early to consider these rumors as anything close to facts, but they're fun to consider

Burton on Pirates??
Recently Disney made the announcement that Johnny Depp was set to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movie (and reportedly for $50+ million). But what wasn't announced were any details on the movie itself, namely who would be directing. Gore Verbinski, who directed the first three films, has been non-committal on a fourth movie. While he's off prepping BIOSHOCK, could Disney be looking to another FOJD (Friend of Johnny Depp) to take the reigns? Cinema Blend is reporting
Depp hits Captain Jack-pot!
HOLLYWOOD -- If, five years ago, you were to suggest that Johnny Depp would one day become the darling of Disney, earning the largest paycheque in The Mouse's history, folks would look at you like you were, well, goofy.
Of course, that would have been before his box office three-peat for the studio as the wonky Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.
The $1.62-billion worldwide haul was enough to make people forget about Depp's prior penchant for riskier stuff such as Blow and Fe
ROFL THIS: Details On The Next Batman Film Remain Mysterious
ONTD has the latest on the near-constant flow of rumors surrounding production and casting of the next installment of the Batman films. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight writer David S. Goyer has denied rumors, among others, that Johnny Depp will be playing The Riddler or that Philip Seymour Hoffman will play The Penquin. So everybody just chill, okay? Or…while you’re waiting for the facts, which may be months away, why don’t you spend some time ROFL-ing? Like this:

Johnny Depp to be paid big bucks
A source says: ‘It’s a lot of swag but there’s only one Johnny Depp.They simply cannot make another ‘Pirates’ movie without Jack Sparrow.’
So true…no one could play Jack Sparrow apart from Depp.
Disney have made $2.7billion at the box-office for the first three Pirates films.
It’s reported that Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will not return to their roles.
Cohen or Brand in Pirates 4?
Disney recently announced that they are indeed developing a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film and that series star Johnny Depp was set to reprise his role as daffy pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. As has long been suggested, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) will not be in the next film so how might the Pirates franchise go on without them?
Cinema Blend reports a rumor, which they stress is merely chatter from a reliable source about very early developments that could still

$55.8 Million Booty
The UK's Daily Mail reports that Johnny Depp is getting a cool $55.8 million upfront from Disney to come back as Captain Jack Sparrow in the next - fourth - installment of Pirates of the Carribbean.
The biggest known upfront payout to an actor was formerly the $50 million Tom Hanks was given to come back for the sequel to the Da Vinci Code.
Looks like there's a new king of Hollywood, Toms (Hanks and Cruise)!
All hail King Johnny!

‘Batman 3’ – Pure Speculation
The Dark Knight is now the second most successful film of all time, with only Titanic taking more at the box office. But with the film only having been out a few months, and no DVD release yet in sight, most people already seem to have moved on to the possible third film in the Chris Nolan Batman trilogy.
Each week brings new rumours, be it over which members of the cast and crew have signed up, who is going to play what villain, and when the film is going to be released. In fact, none of what you have so
Rumor of the 'Caribbean': Tim Burton to Direct 'Pirates 4'?
won't matter who directs it. Attaching a big name would mean that even if Pirates 4 makes a billion dollars worldwide, it would likely be paying $125 million or more to two people, on top of a huge production budget.
But won't Burton and Depp mean more box office for
Pirates? Not really. The duo's only major hit was Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory. Sweeney Todd barely made money, ditto Sleepy
Hollow. When you look at how much money the Pirates series
has made already, you can safely assume that

Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter Join Tim Burton’s ‘Wonderland’
As I’ve grown older, my fascination with movie stars has waned somewhat. I no longer actually care about who is playing what in what with who (except for Joshua Jackson in Fringe). However, there are some pieces of news that just thrill me from head to toe.
The fact that Helena Bonham Carter has joined her partner Tim Burton’s 3D version of Alice in Wonderland is no real surprise. Put Burton on a film, she’ll be there with him. And for good reason, as she is pretty much the perfect actress to
Everything You Heard About the ‘Dark Knight’ Sequel Was a Lie
Photo-illustration: Everett BogueDavid Goyer, the guy who came up with the stories for The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, tells MTV that all rumors currently circulating about the next Batman movie are patently false: "It’s all B.S. ALL of it," he says (probably referring to absurd reports that Johnny Depp is playing the Riddler, Cher is playing Catwoman, and that director Christopher Nolan has already signed on). “Chris and I haven’t even talked about it. He quite understandably is t
Friendly Fires:
Paris (Video)
For some reason, the video for Friendly Fires’ “Paris” reminds of me Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the good one with Gene Wilder, not the awful one with Johnny Depp). The way colors and psychedelic images collide remind me of the Oompa Loompa segments, while the low quality of the video looks like every movie made in the 1970s. “Paris” continues the trend of the Friendly Fires sounding like a more radio-ready Klaxons. At least they’re not annoying as Does it Offe
Vanessa Paradis’ red carpet fear
The French singer says she and partner Johnny Depp deliberately shun the showbiz lifestyle and she feels uncomfortable when forced to attend glamorous events or socialise with other celebrities.
She admitted: “The red carpet is not something I really know how to work. It intimidates me. I feel very tiny.
“I don’t have famous neighbours and if I did, I’d avoid them. I don’t live the jet-set.
“I’m really lucky. I do stay in wonderful houses, hotels and that’s
Tim Burton To Helm Pirates Of the Caribbean 4?
A Cinema Blend tipster seems to think so:Geoffrey Rush and director Gore Verbinski are apparently both planning to return, but... and this is a big maybe... Tim Burton might direct instead. Tim Burton! If there is a single director who could make people excited for a fourth Pirates movie, it has to be Burton. He's done so many amazing movies with Depp already, and might have the ability to make the new franchise as fresh and exciting as it was when the first movie came out. After all, Tim Burton is already
