Movieline has reported on a “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” press conference in which Johnny Depp and producer Jerry Bruckheimer talk more about the film. Depp also reveals an interesting idea that may or may not show up in the later “Pirates” installments.

“There’s a very clever idea that’s being hatched in terms of ‘Pirates 5’ and ‘6’,” he said in a joking tone. “We’re actually shooting them on the [‘Pirates of the Caribbean’] ride…Just moving in circles, nonstop. Kinda like Andy Warhol’s ‘Sleep’–just close-ups on everyone.

Of course, it’s logical to assume this is just a joke, But wouldn’t be hilarious if someone actually went through with the idea? It’d be just the strange, oddball film I’d actually like to see Johnny Depp make. And, after following his track record, Depp would probably like to do that idea, too.

Bruckheimer is more on the traditional movie path, though. “If it [‘Pirates’] makes them [Disney] a lot of money, it’s a success. And hopefully, it makes them a lot of money,” he said earlier in the press conference when asked about what it will take for Disney to give the greenlight to other “Pirates” films.
