WOW! Johnny Depp has catapulted himself to the number one spot of Hollywood’s highest paid actors. He has officially signed on for “Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides” for a guaranteed minimum of $35 million.

This deal has put Depp above other high paid actors such as Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise who all receive high salaries, but not $35 million!
Why did and could Disney agree to …read more

According to IMDB, the film is about a high school hockey player forced to lead his sister’s Girl Guide troop. I am sure Disney will choose current Disney stars to play the lead roles, but that shouldn’t stop you from going after those supporting roles!
