Finding the Best Actor for Captain Jack Sparrow

The establishment of the Pirates of the Caribbean project is naturally not that simple.

The original Pirates of the Caribbean was made by Disney, considering that there are fewer tourists in its own amusement park, the pirate amusement boat project, and tried to shoot a promotional film that would be helpful for its own amusement park project.

In later generations, the pirate amusement ship project was officially renamed as Pirates of the Caribbean, and many interactive games such as treasure stealing elements were added.

It's enough to prove how much Disney has benefited from this project.

That's more money than Pirates of the Caribbean's box office gain, which is why Kevin chose to shoot Pirates early.

However, Kevin is not in a hurry to authorize this aspect. In fact, MGM itself has an amusement park, located in Las Vegas.

But compared with Disneyland, it is undoubtedly a lot worse.

In the future, after he has mastered Marvel, or MGM, that time will be the time to develop these IPs in depth.

Until then, he has to firmly grasp the external authorization of the Pirates of the Caribbean in his own hands.

In fact, for Pirates of the Caribbean, Kevin's attention is much higher than that of Mission Impossible, Chainsaw and Breakthrough.

No matter when, fantasy IP is always stronger than urban themes.

For that kind of fantastic and magnificent world, people all over the world have a common yearning.

.....

With an assistant running, Kevin felt much more relaxed.

In addition to going out for shopping every few days, Kevin left all the chores to Ellie to run, and Ellie was very happy with Kevin's instructions.

Although tiring, Ellie was able to get in touch with countless great people that she had never been able to contact before.

This is a child of an ordinary middle-class family like her, a character that she has no contact with, and has countless benefits for her future development in Hollywood.

As for Kevin, after having an assistant, of course he enjoys life in the villa.

At the same time, I was thinking about the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean.

The first Pirates of the Caribbean, the original hero and heroine is actually the daughter of the Governor, Elizabeth Swan, and the blacksmith apprentice Will Turner.

Most people can guess this from the plot.

But after the movie was released, Jack Sparrow's charm conquered everyone.

The original hero and heroine were completely covered up under his light.

At that time, in fact, the Pirates of the Caribbean had only one protagonist, that is, Captain Jack Sparrow.

In theory, he'd be better off using the original Jack Sparrow, aka Johnny Depp.

but···

Can 30-year-old Johnny Depp show the superb acting skills and character charisma that he should have shown in Pirates of the Caribbean ten years later?

This made Kevin somewhat suspicious.

As for Johnny Depp's subsequent discredit, Kevin as an outsider is not a very good commenter.

The matter between him and his ex-wife was agitated and turned over many times at the same time.

To the discerning person, it seems that there are multiple capitals fighting against each other, and the final result is that Johnny Depp was removed from the Pirates of the Caribbean.

All this seems to be in line with the name, but it is hard to say whether Disney no longer wants to pay Depp's high salary and box office share.

For a legitimate reboot of the Caribbean series.

But if Depp is really a scumbag, it's not impossible.

But at least, Depp at this time is more betrayed.

He has not yet become the scumbag of that time, the villain boycotted by Hollywood.

Thinking of this, Kevin no longer hesitated.

Although he has no friendship with Depp, Depp and Nicolas Cage have an unusual relationship in the memory of his previous life.

There's nothing wrong with asking Cage to contact Johnny Depp.

But thinking of this, Kevin's face was slightly embarrassed.

A good movie for Nicolas Cage that was promised was delayed again and again because of various variables.

Or, by the way, will Cage play Captain Jack Sparrow?

With this idea in mind, Kevin directly took the Pirates of the Caribbean plan and walked towards Nicolas Cage's villa.

....

Inside Nicolas Cage's villa.

Cage is admiring his collection.

As a superstar, his income is very considerable, with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars, which is enough to support any extravagant life.

And his favorites are actually investing in real estate, buying luxury cars, and collecting comics.

Of course, some strange things always arouse his desire to collect.

For example, the young Tyrannosaurus Rex skull fossil in front of him is like a priceless treasure in his eyes. Of course, the person who sold it to him doesn't know the product, so he bought this skull for only a few hundred thousand dollars.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang, Cage came to the monitor, and saw Kevin who suddenly came to visit.

As a neighbor, the first visit to Cage was just a courtesy.

But soon, after learning about Kevin's experience, he developed a feeling of appreciation.

In this way, after some exchanges, he and Kevin became good friends with a considerable age difference.

In the face of Kevin's arrival, he was also very happy and hurried to the door.

"Hello, Kevin!"

"Cage!"

The two hugged and walked into Cage's villa together.

Different from Kevin's villa, Cage's villa is much larger. At the same time, there are many Roman statues in the courtyard.

It looks completely different from ordinary people's villas.

But Kevin, who was already used to it, didn't care about that, and just handed the project plan in his hand to Cage.

Then he took out a bottle of top-quality wine from Cage's refrigerator, took out two more glasses, and poured two more glasses.

Then quietly waited for Cage to watch the script slowly.

"Pirates of the Caribbean?"

Cage frowned and read the script carefully.

The script isn't really that complicated, and that's the usual story rhythm for a big-budget movie.

From this point of view, Kevin did not do anything unconventional.

On the contrary, he is a very mature director of commercial films, but to be honest, Cage has not had much contact with commercial film directors at present.

What Cage is after now is more of a challenging role.

Of course, to put it in layman's terms, in fact, the goals of the films he is choosing now are all aimed at winning awards.

There is no such purely commercial film as Pirates of the Caribbean.

However, I have to say that he felt the charm of Captain Jack Sparrow just from the script, and he could imagine that this would definitely be another classic character in film history.

This made him hesitate.

But in the end, Cage sighed.

Although he really wanted to play it, it was hard for him to imagine what a sissy captain of a pirate ship would look like in him.
