Many current players are still legend, beyond the terrible decisions that make cinematically, these are usually established talents, which in the past attracted hordes of spectators to the boards, but that currently cannot be connected with young audiences (examples: Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis).
The current movie buff possibly grew up watching movies starring Johnny Depp who, as well as Tom Cruise, should have a relatively successful career in cinema. But it is not so. The question is: has ceased to be Johnny Depp a box-office attraction?
Nothing transcendent
This question arises mainly after the huge failure that was his most recent film, Transcendence, that despite looking quite attractive for the public fan of the science fiction and adventure that he made Oblivion a success, hardly had he managed to collect one-sixth of its budget of $ 100 million. Even though this last decision inadequate, considering that it was the debut of a director of photography, it is impossible to think that, given what is supposed to be a big star like Depp in the lead role, he has raised even less than the recognized failure of science fiction Stealth.
If we think about the trajectory of films released recently by Depp (using huge Box Office Mojo), only the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has proven to be the goose that lays the golden eggs for investors, because three predecessors Transcendence films each had a more humiliating than the other ticket, and that one was directed by Tim Burton (Dark Shadows). Is the problem that the actor starred in films with budgets so exaggerated?
Annoying repetition
After thinking about it deeply, the real answer lies in the opinion of the cinephile public about Depp, who only see as a puppet of Burton (it is no surprise that will be the second related to the principal actor, after Helena Bonham Carter), a man who, after Jack Sparrow, only have passion for roles that make it look and act like a cartoon.
His lucrative contract with Walt Disney Pictures, for an actor who in his past made independent films as profound as The Brave; subtract his points versus those who follow it since its inception.
If you think that a solution to this problem there is probably, may not find it since, judging by their performances recent actor hardly displays emotion in their roles, and even Jack Sparrow feels as if Depp tight inflatable redial button and leave his interpretation on auto-pilot. But, given to Pirates of the detained for indefinite problems 5 Caribbean, it is possible that Hollywood is finally noticing this huge problem.
Are you fans of Johnny Depp? How do you see in terms of box office?
