Johnny Depp‘s interest in starring in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has dropped substantially due to the resignation of Disney chairman Dick Cook.

Johnny Depp also shared his reaction about Dick Cook leaving the studio with the Los Angeles times. Depp said he is “shocked and very sad” because Cook was the reason he signed on to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films and that Cook was his biggest supporter when other executives didn’t agree with how Depp was playing the role on set. He also commented on the fourth “Pirates” movie, which Cook revealed just last week would be titled Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and be released Summer 2011:

As for the fourth planned “Pirates” movie, Depp said while he has a potential deal in place that will depend on how good the script is, his passion for the project at the moment has been severely dampened by the news that Cook will no longer be around.

“There’s a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment,” Depp said. “It was all born in that office.”

Well lets hope the script turns out well enough for Johnny to do the movie, otherwise Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides can be considered dead in the water.
