Depp fired

better call Plummer (entire Doctor Parnassus cast - get it?)

reply

If he has a contract he can sue for millions. No evidence he beat that nut case.

reply

it looks like they're paying him his full salary even though he only has a small scene

reply

He wasn't just fired just because of he court case, he was also fired because they were paying him a shit-ton of money and need to cut costs.

Seriously, the sharp decline in theater attendance and the financial failure if FB2, means that if there's ever going to be an FB3 and 4, the movies need to be made for less money. And Depp was expensive, he drew bad publicity, and nobody liked his performance. There will be other cuts, but he was first against the wall when the revolution came.

reply

I think they could've renegotiated the contract or whatever they were paying him. If they fired him because he wouldn't take a pay cut, that would be understandable but, if it was for other reasons, then obviously that reason. Noticed the copy/paste from the Depp thread.

reply

What makes you think he'd agree to a pay cut?

Besides, the biggie is that he was doing a bad job, and isnt going to get better at acting any time soon.

reply

I liked his performance. I enjoyed both films. Dont care now. This is bullshit..

reply

Last film cost about 200 million and had a total gross of 650 million... It made money, if it didn't make money they would have cancelled any sequels. His removal was all down to the woke culture and the claims that he abused Amber... of course the irony is Amber hasn't been fired from Aquaman 2 even though she admitted being abusive in the very same trial.

reply

Yup. Double standard once again...

reply

I've said this before but apparently it hasn't sunk in... you obsessives have convinced each other that Depp is a saint and his ex is Satan incarnate, but you haven't convinced the general public. The general public sees Depp as a pathetic drunk old has-been who wears too much makeup, and they're sick of his wings and accents and neverending court cases.

So many reasons to get rid of him, and only one to keep him - continuity. And if they could replace the Dumbledore jn the earlier films and nobody complained, they can replace other actors.

reply

Especially since Depps character is a shapeshifter or whatever

reply

Both Depp and Heard are actors so neither one should be more believable than the other in a court case because they are both professional make-believe artists. That said, only Heard has been arrested for domestic abuse so the balance of evidence is already seriously pointing to Heard being the abuser. Remember his is the bed shitter that tried to push off the mound of shit on a dog that couldn't have made that big a dump if you squeezed it to death in a vice - a dog of its size simply could never hold that amount of shit. So when a judge ignore reality staring them in the face it usually means the judge is either incompetent or has been paid off. Given Heard is the most money hungry POS in the world, she would never spend money on a bribe when she could just perform sex acts instead. Maybe the world will get lucky and the corrupt judge's phone will get hacked and we can see her sucking the verdict her way.

Depp is a troubled person with problems with alcohol (a common profile among actors, btw). He's no saint, but he's innocent of all that "abuser" crap the media has thrown to him.

Amber Heard is an actress with borderline disorder. She's no Satan incarnate, but she's quite dangerous in a society that gives her the power to simply point a finger at somebody and freely destroy his life and his career.

In a non-woke world, both would have probably ended in therapy and, with a bit of luck, saved their marriage.

This is a complicated story that became tragic because of the power to freely destroy, that woke institutions have given to women. Of course, explaining that to wokes is useless. Wokeness is a young and very active religion, they use to see the world in terms of absolute good and evil: if you don't agree with Depp being Satan incarnate, then you must think that Depp is a saint.

šŸ™„STUPID...YOU SURE LIKE SAYING "WOKE" REPEATEDLY...IF YOU AND ABOUT 8 OTHERS WOULD DROP THE SHIT,NOBODY WOULD EVER HEAR THAT CRAP.

reply

"Woke" or "wokeness" is just a term that names a concept. It's not an insult and it's not a derogatory term. It just names the concept. I have said that before: if you consider that the term is derogatory, then tell me which is the non-derogatory term.

Otherwise, what you're trying to do is to prevent people from using a legit term linked to their particular religion. That's a typical religious behavior.

NO...JUST WISH YOU GUYS IN THE BASEMENT WOULD STOP PLAYING AT THIS IMAGINARY TOPIC.

reply

I hear that a lot of people want Colin Farrell back, but it might not happen as filming for ā€œThe Batmanā€ might not last for another while, however there are other actors who could do the part, Daniel Bruhl, Mads Mikkelson, Dan Stevens, Tom Hiddleston, Joaquin Phoenix (might not want to commit to 3 movies though), Ewan McGregor, or Michael Fassbender

reply

I was one of those people. I didn't like Depp in the role as he played it too weird to be convincing as a charismatic archvillain. I thought that Colin Farrell and Mads Mikkelson were more convincing, particularly Farrell.
