God, I hope so.

Would there have been a discount for forum friends? :wink:

Yup, pretty much the same reaction but a tad more of a sigh.

But yes, as much as I love Zac *drools and goes in Homer voice* MMMMM ZAAAC *normal voice* he would be incredibly distracting and likely very very INSANLY wrong for the series.

Is Equus the play which has Daniel Radcliffe naked and apparently there's a bestiality scene?

Is there any other?

And he looks pretty okay nekkid. He's not conventionally attractive, and I think he looks better sans that weird, scrubby teenage facial hair, but okay nonetheless.

Plus he's pretty good in the part.

Oh my god. This would just ruin the series for me. I know when I heard that they were going to make a 4th, I thought they were pushing it, but this, ugh, its way over the edge.

And I quote my friend: "I think I just threw up my lunch from 2 weeks ago"

Sorry, I just can't see that happening.

One: Efron is way too young and he looks NOTHING like Depp. (And I don't like him or his non acting ability either.)
Two: This screams fake from the onset. I'd almost bet money this "news" came from the same person who claims Cher is in the running to play Catwoman in the third Nolan Bat-film.

Depp has expressed that he would love to do more Pirates films (aside from the fourth), because he loved playing Jack Sparrow. I can't see him (or Disney) giving the role up to this new-and-upcoming star. Depp has been in the business before Efron was even born, so take that as you will.

I'm pretty sure what is happeneing is that there would be a new character for Efron, he wouldn't be taking depp's character, just replacing the characters spot with a new one. Similar to replacing a villian in a superhero film, for example. Batman Begins: The Scarecrow as The Dark Knight: The Joker

The likeliness of Efron being in a POTC sequel is nil.

I guarantee Jerry Bruckheimer will see to it. And it would be too obvious to bring in Efron to bring in some of the HSM crowd.

I would be shocked if this was true.

Scarecrow wasn't even the main villain. It was Ra's Al Ghul.

Anyway, I don't trust IMDB. They made up loads of crap before. So not taking this too much in account. Hell, why the fuck are they even making a 4th Pirate movie anyway? Didn't the third pretty much concluded the story?

Even if he is in the movie, I doubt it'll be anything that will ruin the movie(if it isn't ruin already).

Really? did that matter, you obviously knew what i was getting at. :roll: :P

Anyway, all i'm saying is that it's a little unfair to assume Zac would ruin a film when really it's just a blurb that he might be in it. Afterall in my opinion Orlando Bloom's character is really whimpy and at times makes me hate all 3 films lol.

I actually think Zac Effron is somewhat talented and it would be unfair to deny him of adult roles... but Pirates of The Caribbean???


:x :x :x :x :x

... Eventually replace Johnny??? Are you kidding me???

I guess I'm one of those people that hates it when the cool things get taken over by tweens (unless of course it's already a tween oriented franchise).

At least he'd look better than Daniel Ratcliff in the show *shudders than throws up in mouth at the though of seeing Daniel naked*. If he really was going into the porn, er I mean, "theatre" industry, I'm sure he could get more money just doing all that strippin' at clubs or online.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. I always thought Radcliff was attractive and he'd be much more entertaining than the fake-tanned Zac Efron.

Seriously, I don't think someone who basically built their career in acting on being a "pretty boy" can support a movie that's [trying] to be taken seriously.

Are you sure that's not an Onion article or something? Cuz all of that info is too silly to be true.

The train wreck that was At World's End turned me off the pirate franchise for good (not to mention that Disney is sucking to franchise to the point of skin and bones). Though honestly, I've been unimpressed with the franchise past Curse of the Black Pearl.

I dont blame Zac for not wanting to do anymore HSMs. They really should just put an end to that franchise after the third film. And the idea of him being in a British play like Equus is just plain ridiculous.

Does Disney plan to suck the life out of everything that makes huge cash?

Zac Efron has insisted he has not put pen to paper on a deal to star in the new Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.

The High School Musical actor rebuffed reports he would be setting sail with Johnny Depp in the series' fourth instalment.

"Honestly, at this time it's just a rumour," Efron told American Idol host Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. "I wish I was going to be in Pirates Of The Caribbean, so hopefully that will happen for me."

Disney confirmed a fourth movie in the franchise earlier this year, with Johnny Depp signing a record £32 million to reprise his role of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Yay! There's still hope this is all crap.

To be honest Bod, that all sounds like industry smokescreen talk. Efron doesn't exactly deny it does he? And the "put pen to paper" bit sounds suspiciously close to "... is being courted to sign." Technically, until he does sign, it is just a rumour.

No outright denial means something is in the works, mark my words.

I guess 2099net is probable right & is just preparing us to come to terms with it for our own good :lol:. Lets face it guys, disney is on a path of
self-destruction and replacing johnny is a huge self-inflicted punch in the face for them.

Gore Verbinski also stated that all this is just rumors, so I have a feeling that there won't be another Pirates movie. Which might be a good thing.
