The next two movies in the Pirates of the Caribbean series will be filmed at the same time, it has been reported.
The second and third films are expected to be as popular as the original, which starred Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Johnny Depp.
Bloom and Knightley are expected to spend 10 months next year shooting the two films, and are set to make $12.6 million each from the deal.
A source revealed, "They can name a high price as their love story was a very popular feature of the original and both have huge fan bases. The decision to make both movies at the same time will take them off the market for a year."
Meanwhile, Johnny Depp, who plays pirate Jack Sparrow, can demand the highest price, according to the source.
The first film was a massive success, taking in $720 million worldwide last year.
