He lost that “thing” that made him so bankable.
Frankly POTC II and (espcially) III were pretty awful. And not just Lone Ranger but damn near every film he has done has been at best a break-even and many big losers.
He is a white Eddie Murphy.
He is richer than God so he should just give up.
Maybe It's just me, but I was touched when "Tonto’s" eyes misted over when the boy dressed as a cowboy (at the museum) opened fire on him.
Given a GOOD script, Depp can act, and carry the role.
I think the very idea of Transcendence in this day age angers people and I’lll tell you why. People the world over have witnessed scientific achievements on a magnitude never seen before and the rate at which they are occurring is accelerating. Many of the areas that they are experimenting in is both frightening and has questionable ethical considerations. The Frankenstein complex sits dormant in our brains as we hear about genetic or brain / control manipulation experimentation. Fears fueled by sci-fi movies about monsters created in labs, military applications to create super solders, robotic technologies to enslave men, etc They are all there and to add fuel to the fire we are seeing life imitate art as we see these very same things come to life right in front of us with drones armed with machine guns, talk of micro computer “enhancements” implanted directly into our own brain stems, and military weaponry that has frightening capabilites, even guns that can shoot around corners, etc...This stuff just isn’t natural. Its not the way God intended us to be and we undertand the motivation to create these types of things have to do with all the wrong reasons; greed, self-gain, self-importance, power, control, etc...all things that in the end result in evil. The other issue is that these types of thoughts lead us even farther own the road to perdition getting increasingly more evil with each step. In a movie like Transcendence the thought is put forward, “what defines who or what is an individual (conscience self-aware entity)? Who gives that individual the right to live or diie and why should that individual be permitted to live?” these are truly dangerous waters to tread in because it implies that someone else has power and control of your life other than God and implies that Man is his own god (and subsequentally has to answer o no one ither than himself and be held accountable)
So I’m sorry if I don’t want to live be 1000 years old on life support by a computer housed in a syntheic body that was not created by my God and I don’t think other God fearing people do either.
He needs to play a gay, drunken pirate to make bank I guess
Lone Ranger was just a dud from the get go, expecting any actor to carry a 50s tv character movie in 2010’s was foolish. Let to mention one so horrifically bad.
No actor could have saved that film, it should have never been green lighted.
Don’t know anything about this latest one, but I don’t blame TLR flopping on Depp, had that thing done anything but flop I would have been amazed.
