Ms. Swann Leaving the "Pirates" Nest?
With "Pirates of the Carbbean: At Worlds End" being primed for its summertime release, the actors are now sharing their thoughts on the future of the series. And as far as Keira Knightley is concerned, she seems fine with moving on when the trilogy ends.
From IGN Movies: "I've been playing this girl since I was 17," Keira Knightley advised The Daily Mail on the set of her new film, Atonement.
"I'm 21 now and I'm onto very different things, but it's fun to try to invest Elizabeth [Swann] with some rebellious spirit," she continued. "But what I'm doing in Atonement is very different. I mean, she is a grown-up woman!"
The Mail reports that Knightley "has told the movie's producers that she doesn't want to participate in any further sequels."

...which means the producers would have to go out and find another lovely young actress. Shouldn't be too difficult.

on Nov 14 2006 05:46 AM Keira shivers me timbers =P She was good as Elizabeth, but they'll be able to find someone else, however I don't think another sequel after World's End is necessary..... (Reply to this) |
on Nov 14 2006 07:47 AM In reply to this comment (#848785) I agree. Pirates was getting repetitive during the second movie. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 14 2006 08:48 AM [b]Eh... That's Ok.[/b] Well, since Dead Man's Chest wasn't actually very good, I see this as an okay thing. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 14 2006 09:02 AM 2 sequels is already more than enough for any movie, making a third or more is just ridiculous and i hope depp and bloom (at least depp, i dont really care about bloom) don't sign on for any more pirates sequels. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 14 2006 10:21 AM I'm glad Keira is looking for more adult roles. I think the special effects of pirates actually overshadow her great acting abilities (Reply to this) |
on Nov 14 2006 11:15 AM The second sucked. I will catch the third at the second run theater. After that, I am done. No fourth for me, or Bloom, or Knightley. As for Depp, he already said, in an article posted on this website, that he would beinterested in playing Sparrow more as long as the scripts are good enough. After the second, I would have decided not to continue. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 14 2006 12:20 PM After Knightley leaves, the entire cast of "Pirates of the Carribbean" will be women. I kid I kid, she's beautiful. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 14 2006 01:08 PM Yep, 2nd one stunk. Knightley is a good actress I hope she gets some good roles. Pirates should end after World's End. If it continues it is purely for money (they filmed the 2nd/3rd at the same time) and although the I love a good pirate movie, I think it's about run its course. If Depp wants to make more movies as Jack Sparrow I'm down, but I wouldn't put it under the "Pirates" banner, maybe just a movie called, "The Legend of Jack Sparrow", or something. Dunno what it'd be about, but Johnny makes a damn good pirate. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 14 2006 01:13 PM have it be a trilogy and give it a rest. nuff said. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 14 2006 01:19 PM well, to be honest, I never cared for the first Pirates. It was way too long for what it was, just like the King Kong remake. (Reply to this) |
|
on Nov 14 2006 02:50 PM The series should end after the third one anyway. Honestly, I'm tired of this 'quadrilogy' bug that's been going around the Hollywood scene. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 14 2006 04:16 PM the first one was good and had some really enjoyable moments,the second one lost what made the first film so fun so yeah it sucked and i don't expect this one to be any better.............good job for keria knightly though, she is a beautiful actress with lots of talent, she really does have to move on to something else (Reply to this) |

on Nov 14 2006 04:26 PM [b]If you are in a hit movie, keep making sequels as[/b] These actors who leave hit movie series and TV shows are crazy. I say keep making them as long as they offer you the money. Look at Michael Keaton. He gave up hundres of millions of dollars leaving the Batman franchise and now his career is in the crapper. Great actor but a Herby movie with Lindsay Lohan??? That sucked!!! White Noise was another piece of shit. Did he get blacklisted in Hollywood??? I hear rumors that he pissed off big movie execs because when he left the original Batman movie series the studio lost hundreds of millions on the next two sequels particulary Batman and Robin. Johnny Depp would be smart to keep milking Jack Sparrow for as long as possible. He can still make his indie artistic movies and live comfortably off of the commercial stuff. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 14 2006 05:50 PM She's too old for films that gross a billion dollars? Oh well, I still love you Keira. Maybe they can get Kate Beckinsale. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 14 2006 09:44 PM [b]let her go[/b] we need some one with boobs (Reply to this) |
on Nov 15 2006 12:55 AM I thought the director said there wasn't going to be any more sequels after the third one anyway. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 15 2006 02:05 PM In reply to this comment (#848801) One can only hope there will be no more sequels after this! (Reply to this) |
