300 million dollars and a million alpacas. This was the shadow price quoted by Johnny Depp during his trial, for which he had affirmed in court in Fairfax that he would never agree to work again for disney, even for such a sum and an extravagant gift.

According to the Poptopic site, the big-eared firm intends to make peace with the interpreter of Jack Sparrow, and now hopes that he agrees to resume his role. And to bring back its golden egg hen, the company would be ready to pay.
According to the confidences of a source close to Disney to the media, the rumor that management is considering the return of Jack Sparrow in the franchise Pirates of the Caribbean is well founded. To bury the hatchet, a proposal wrapped in sweet words would have been sent to Johnny Depp: “I know the company sent her a gift basket with a very heartfelt letter, but I don’t know how it was received“, confides the anonymous. And to add that the studio would put on the table an offer of 301 million dollars. A symbolic million would therefore have been added to the sum fixed by the actor. Despite the fact that nothing is played yet, the entertainment group already has a plan for the next few years.
