Keira Knightley Says No to Pirates 4?
By Nix | December 5, 2007 (11:52 am) | More: Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (2011) Movie
Or is that just an actor doing a pre-emptive “No” so they want the studio to jack up the paycheck? Hey, it’s not like it’s never happened before (re: the Spider-Man kids); in fact, it probably happens all the time when you’re talking about a movie franchise as lucrative as the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. In any case, during a press conference for her new movie “Atonement”, someone asked Knightley about coming back for a “Pirates of the Caribbean 4″. Read her response below…
Says Knightley (via):
“I can’t imagine doing another one. That was an amazing experience, really was, totally extraordinary, but I think three for me is probably enough.”
Not exactly a “No, no way in Hell” reply. More of a, “Hmm, probably not, unless, you know, we’re talking ‘back up the brink truck to my Malibu house kind of paycheck here’.” At this point, I can’t see anyone who isn’t a total idiot hopping off the “Pirates” film if a fourth installment does end up happening.
And in any case, even if Knightley doesn’t come back, the “Pirates” producers already have the one person who really matters: Johnny Depp has said repeatedly that Yeah, he’d like to return as Captain Jack Sparrow. And really, when you have Jack, who else do you need?
Although it would be nice to have Elizabeth Swann back, too…
kieria r u out of yur mind??!!!! u need to get back in the game of pirates!!!! i mean there’s orlando who i have to say is hot but still it right with u! i won’t c it if u and Orlando r not in it!!!!!
Mo
i agree if ur not in it it’ll ruin the 4th movie. i’m sure u enjoyed doing it all in the first 3
U AVE TO CME BACK AND BE IN POC4, IF NOT, THE MOVIE WOULD BE A GREAT LET DOWN, I LUV THE CHEMISTRY U AND ORLANDO HVE, ER, I HERD THAT ELIZEBETH GETS PREGNANT IN THE NEXT FILM AND KEEP THE BABY AND BRINGS HIM UP, IS THAT TRUE?
If u fast foward thru credits at the end of At Worlds End,you will see 10 years later,she already had a child(boy).Will returns & thats the end..until POTC4!!!!!I really hope she changes her mind and signs on.
as if any can be bothered watching the credits for ages to see a 30 second scene. i didn’t see it nor did any else in the whole society in australia. seriously becky no bothers watching the credits so as the credit come up EVERYONE piles out of the cinema
Kirsten has point you know no one i know on my space knew about it they last thing the knew was jack sailing in his dinghy with his rum and the same with me
PLZ SIGN IT! u have to stay Pirates 4!
its ll be awesome if u stay
i’m with u there
keira-
you probably wont read this, but in the event that you do i just want you to know that you should really come back for POC4. i understand that youre probably trying to move on to more serious work but you have to understand that POC is really a major part of your career!! plus all of your fans would really like to see you in the motherly mode and how you solve the problem of not being able to see will except for once every ten years. i was really sad at the end of POC3
Bring’em back Jack. I love the POC movies. My kids love it. This is a movie for the current and future generations. Bravo!!!!!
what the hell is wrong with you kira…the biggest reason i watched the movies is cuz of u..like u in the movies prove that females r the the best ever and like it made me so happy watching u in them….a female fighter…dont quit on us now..PLEASE!!!!
that’s rude the only thing you need to say is “y wont u stay?”
u and orlando cant leave ur the only reason i watch the films, and i watch them so much i know the script! PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE DONT LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok so I was maaaaad pissed with the last poc movie and heres why:
1- the only reason I watch those movies is to know whats gona happen with kiera and orlando
2- I dont think its cool that you guys get us hooked on this story then leave us high and dry with a sad ass ending of the main characters seeing eachother every 10 years, 10 YEARS? if disney taught us anything we should have a happy ending damn it!
3- whats thepoint of this movie if you’re not in it kiera, I know I sound like an obssessed fan, but I mean honestly what am I gonna go watch 2 hours of jack sparrow running around??? I dont think so
4- you’re getting paid alotta money to do this , so I dont really see why you wouldnt, really.
Yess! You totally hit all the points! you said it better than anyone and you really made me laugh! I really hope Elizabeth and will are going to be in the fourth. It already kills me that i have to wait 3 years! and now they might not even be in it! WTH! lol
please Keira come backkkkk :,[
Come on keira u cant just have cap jack sparrow and barbosa? i mean then theres no action without u.If u come back ull probaly get to have a massive battle with kylipso and maybe davie jones might return so then ull get to avenge Will and destroy jones??? now that sounds like a good storyline 4 u and a good paycheck to $$$
a bit of an OTT plot there and that’s kinda silly 1 question how does jones come back
PLEASE STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You are one of the most important characters…if you leave then the series will be ruined.The 4th movie would not be the same with out you.Plus if you look at the amount of comments of people trying to convince you to stay.You should realize that you are a wonderful actress.BILLIONS of people love you.If you have heard what they are planning on for the next movie…if you leave the 4th movie will be even worse.(hopefully the plans for the next movie are not anything like what people are talking about.)Once again PLEASE STAY!!!!!!!!
I hope that this little message convinces you to stay.
You are completely out of your mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You must reconsider signing.If you dont then you will break my heart…and other fans hearts too!
I think the same as Celin . I will see the fourth in less you are in it . Who is with me ????????????????
I am
i’m with u
Kiera really you should stay for the fourth one! It will be useless to make a POC4 without everyone from the other movies! The story has to end with a happy end … and by any way I don’t mean “At world’s end” as a happy end!
Pirates of The Caribbean is the best movie ever made for me! It will surely become a classic some day… think about it…
got a point
keira. all i have 2 say is why why why why no one can replace that role. its like if johnny depp didnt play jack sparrow. COME ON just do at least one more movie then finish it!!!!!!!
but thats ur choice
DONT BE F****ING STUPID! YOU CAN GET MONEY FROM THIS!!! WE WWWWILLLL DEEPLY APPRECIATE THIS! DSHJKL OR WE’LL HAVE SOME UGLY PERSON REPLACE YOU AND MAKE MORE MONEY AND MORE FANDOM!!!
wash ur mouth out but u DO have a point
ok i have to say i have been really sad and upset since i watched poc3, i have seen it three times hopeing the end will change, but it hasnt so you need to be in this movie, and some how find a way to get back with will i mean every ten yrs. please fix this messed up ending…
i am a total pirates junkie. i own every single movie, and watch them, weekly (: , the action and drama is amazing. Kiera and Will are amazing characters! Yes, johnny is a halarious character, but kiera and will add spice to the movies. you NEVER know what is going to happen with them.
did you know they have a son ? i bought the 3rd movie, and after the credits there is a 2 minute scene, showing will coming home, and kiera and thier son waiting on that island.
their romance is a key part in the movies. if not all characters come back to making a fourth movie, there is absolutely no point (:
come on you’ve got to be sirious with out you there would be no POC, and i think you might know it too. and when POC 4 comes out the first second every oneof your fans will be really bored and will say to themselfs that,whats the point of the movie with out you Keira Knightley and the rest the cast form all Pirates of the Caribbean movies
i have seen POC one two and three for about a million times and still can’t stop watching them its not just from the whole expirience but from the actors and actreses espicialy you, orlando, johnny with out you all three it would have been a nght mare, also iam begging you and all your other fans to PLEASE come back, also you will never know the producers will problably notice and beg you to come and raise your pay check. just to let you as fan no you no movie and we will be dispointed. if you ever have a chance please read. thanks that would mean a lot and more if you will change your mine
COME KEIRA!!!!YOU NEED TO COME BACK!!!!!!!YOUR MY FAVE PIRATE!YOUR THE #1 PIRATE GIRL!!AND IF ORLANDO COMES BACK WHO IS WILL GOING TO LOVE!!COMEBACK!!:(
Kiera come back i beg you it is not just from me but form all your fans fro aruonds the world tooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
i love all the movies there has to be another one with all you in it, if not thats gonna suck!!!!!!!! you and orlando are so great and lets not foreget Captain Jack spparow!!!!! Please Stay and Make another movie…………
COME ON!!!ME AND MY FIREND ALEXIS LOVEPIRATES.MY FIREND ALEXIS SAID THAT IF YOU DON’T DO THE MOVIE POTC IS GOING TO SUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOVE ALEXIS. & NATHALIA
You are probably not going to read this but if you do then I think you’re barking mad! You need to sighn up for POTC if there is to be another movie. Yes there is always Jack Sparrow but a lot of people are interested to find out what happens between you and Will. In the end you wait for Will with your son and then you see him. I would be relly excited to know what happens between that time. Obviously you got pregnant but what about later on? I really want to know what happens when Elizabeth’s son meets his father for the first time. If there is to be a fourth movie, it needs you.
Kiera pleaseee stayyy
the only reason most girls watch the movie is because they love you! and its great having a powerful woman like character. I mean like in Lord of the Rings none of the girls fight, except the one from Rohan. And she doesn’t even get to be a main character.
And I really only care about Elizabeth and Will. Jack is great and he’s on of my favorites. But I personally don’t want to watch him run around being stupid for 2hrs. He is an important character, he is funny, and I like him. But you cant have a whole movie with just him.
Personally the movies seeam like they are following the order of how piracy was dieing out. I think they should continue on that story line. And keep following history. Maybe include some other famous pirates like Blackbeaard, Jack Rackam (Calico Jack), Mary Reed, Anne Bonney, Bart Roberts, Edward Low, Thomas Tew, etc…
Or maybe Elizabeth joins the Flying Dutchman, with her son when he becomes a teenager. Or something.
But I think they NEEED you, and the THREE ORIGINAL characters.
Or it just will not be the same…..
Ohhh and I forgot but YOUR character is the Pirate King, and what happens to all the pirates?
And your character has a huge role. To just cut her and Will out would be a huge mistake. Of course everybody will go to see Pirates 4, but nobody would want to see Pirates 5. Because nobody wants to see just Jack. We want everybody. And what happens to Calypso? Does she destroy boats and things? Does Davy Jones come back? I mean if you meant for that to be the end of the trilogy. It was a horrible ending, its more of a endding saying there will be a sequal, because that endding leaves us hanging in our seat, waiting and wanting to see what will happen next. Similar to Pirates 2. It just some what endded, and there was a whole other story waiting to be made. Same with Pirates 3. I think like I said before that the movies should fallow the historic timeline.
OR
maybe have Jack meet back up with his ship, and his crew. And they all set of for a adventrure, maybe to help Will become human again. Or have Elizabeth and her son join them. I dont know but, all I know is you HAVEEEEE to be in this!!!!!!!!!!!
i will jump off the golden gate bridge if u dont come back. U play a big part in these movies and i will not go see the 4th movie if u are not in it.please please please please come back to do pirates of the caribbean 4.i will jump off a bridge if u do not do the 4th movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG Keira PLEASE STAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE PLEASE.ME and my fried Ariel love pirates alot we remembered almost evry word to every movie that u are in.
Honestly,
you have Jack and Barbossa.
And most likely Gibbs.
Speak no more, so long Keira.
And Shakira,
I’d see any movie with just Jack in it.
Ah! And for people arguing that the Elizabeth/William romance is a key part of the movies… the two barely spoke in the third! it was a mere sub-sub-sub-sub-sub plot, after the brethren court and rescuing Jack and Bootstrap and defeating the EITC. So obviously the writerswere trying to write the romance of the the script by throwing E
Keira you can not leave if you do so many people will not come and see the movie and i and one of them the only reason i whatch the movie is to see you and orlando.
Keira don’t say no you and orlando make up about 2/3 of the movies plot and need you to create a good part of it. DON”T LEAVE!! Johnny Depp only makes up part of it and that is mainly comedy. Plus you are like so awesome in these movies because you are showing girl power!!
OHHHH come on you have to be in POTC4. It wouldnt be the same!!!!!! I LUV the PIRATES movies they r awsome!!!!! Without you, Johnny, and Orlando nobody would watch it…..You are the one that mekes everyone else who they r!!! SO PLZ PLZ PLZ BE IN IT!!!!!!!!
oops i ment You are the one that makes everyone else who they r!!!
OMG kiera the only reason i watch it is casue of you and orlando. you guys are so cute together. and you can’t just leave us of like this i mean elizabeth has a baby and will is coming back for her. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come back. if you don’t i am not going to watch it any more!
Well, if you REALLY don’t want to be in it keira, then just do a couple of shots so they can finish up what happens to Elizibeth and Will. Then they can bring in a new female character. By doing this, the fans will get all their answers about elizibeth and will and the story will have a new character to introduce and keep the story fresh and interesting.
Keira you HAVE to continue with pirates!! When they made “Will” become captain of Davy Jones’s shi i was soo pissed!! so you HAVE to continue with more!! Yea like the other girl said the only reson i watch is for you and orlando!! you guys are great together please please please! come back!!!!!!
please come back! i loved watching you progress as a pirate,and if you left the movies i would literley cry.COME BACK PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MABEY
kassie i hate your veiwon keira!
i mean i hate view on keira.
if u dont do poc4 the whole series will be completely ruined. you are the only one who can play Elizabeth Swan.
kassie lol. but will and elizabeth really dont make up the whole movie. though they have the most romance in all of the films(besides jack getting smacked 100 times by girls).
WHO CARES IF KEIRA STAYS OR LEAVES? JACK IS THE MAIN CHARACTER! THERE JUST THE SIDEKICKS AND SIDESHOWS.

Dear Kiera Knightley,
“We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, we loot, Drink up, me hearties, yo ho, We kidnap, we ravage and don’t give a hoot, Drink up me hearties, yo ho, Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me, Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me…” isen’t that what you dreamed to be or actually meet a pirate. And your dream came true so don’t leave all those wonderful dreams behind just because your tired. You can never be tired with Orlando Bloom the total Hottttttttttttttty. And if your not there then who can Orlando Bloom have as the most beautiful wife ever. Would you have that era come to an end on your watch. The most notorious girl actors from around the world are uniting against your old boyfried, Elizabeth. Yeah, you once dated Orlando Bloom. And i thought you were the most cutest couple in Hollywood. And yet you just sit there cowering in your house. Just because you don’t what to play the role of Captain Elizabeth Turner. And don’t forget at the end when Orlando got stabbed in the heart with the sword that your husband in the movie made. And you said, “i will never leave you.” And don’t forget the heart to will turner’s chest with his heart in it, if your not in it then who is going to protect his heart. And you said yes that you would protect it. And finally don’t forget your ten year old son at the end of the movie are you just going to leave him behind to as well. And don’t forget that beautiful kiss at the end of the movie if you don’t leave you can have alot more of those. And don’t forget to look out for your horizon Elizabeth Swann those are the exact words that Will said at the end of the movie. So please don’t leave the POTC’S triolgy set because if your not in the movie then it wouldn’t be the same and it wouldn’t be the same if Orlando Bloom wasn’t in their. Because you look so cute together. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE YOU ARE A PIRATE. So you don’t forget this “Drink up me hearties, yo ho. KN+OB=LUV
yeah keira
jojo OF COURSE that we do not need Elizabeth Swan…. who needs an anorexic pirate…. if we have Jak we don´t need anything else…. with him, Barbosa and his men the movie is absolutely complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will Turner can appear without Elizabeth maybe we just need his son and that´s it.
Keira u are not indespensable neather Elizabeth becouse we can have a lot of aventure without you!!!!
THAT’s SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not true. Keira and Orlando HAVE to come back other wise i won’t watch the fourth movie.

Keira you have to be in POTC 4. It wont be worth watching if ur not, my daughter loves the movie and ur her favorite pirate. Who’s gonna play the part of Orlando’s wife, the movie wont be that great to watch if ur not in it. You have to be in it. PLEASE…Cause there has to be more, you and Orlando have to be together, not seperated for ten years and then one day ashore.
