Depp Carries a Torch for Cruz in 'Pirates 4'

Here's a shock: Penélope Cruz will play Johnny Depp's love interest in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Much like Clarissa in days of yore, Jerry Bruckheimer explains it all. "She plays the daughter of Blackbeard," The Bruck told MTV at ShoWest. "She's the daughter of the bad guy." Blackbeard is reportedly being portrayed by Ian McShane meaning...uh...meaning I think those genetics are flat impossible. Seriously, how hot must the baby mama be if Penélope is the result of anything and Ian McShane? Of course, we could have seen the romance coming a mile away. WIth no Keira and Orlando, here has to be something, I suppose, so if Disney is serious about making the next batch of films smaller in scale, fewer characters is certainly a way to accomplish that, and Cruz and Depp should be able to add some sizzle. Bruckheimer also reconfirmed that the films would be moving in "a whole new direction," so that's good to hear. Is Rob Marshall the right guy to lead the franchise? I'm on the fence there, but everything else has lined up pretty well. Of course, that was true of the first Pirates and then the studio went overboard (pardon the pun) and cluttered the the subsequent films with way too many characters. Not that it wasn't plenty successful the way they did it. After some doubt in Johnny Depp's mind after Disney ditched top executive Dick Cook, he's back on board and probably for the long haul, however long that turns out to be.
