St Ives Cornwall - Johnny Depp Update

St Ives Cornwall - Pirates Of The Caribbean

---

Rumours persist that Johnny Depp will be in St Ives this summer filming Pirates Of The Caribbean.

The story has now moved on from The Sun to more reputable publications such as The Guardian and The Western Morning News.

I've just spoken directly to the Disney UK Press Office. They honestly have no idea themselves if the story is true or not. They suggested that I call the production office in Los Angeles !

I'm personally beginning to think that it's not going to happen. Next time I bump into Johnny having a pint at The Sloop I'll ask him. If you see any pirate ships heading into St Ives Bay let me know.

A story has just broken online that Johnny Depp will be heading to St Ives this summer to film the latest Pirates Of The Caribbean movie - On Stranger Tides.

According to press reports he'll be starring opposite Penelope Cruz. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will not feature in the new movie.

Johnny Depp has long been rumoured to be a regular visitor to The Sloop Inn, said to be hard to recognise as, surprisingly, he doesn't dress as a pirate when off duty !

I'll post more news here when I have more details.
