"Johnny Depp may be departing Black Mass. The actor is &amp;#039;shaky&amp;#039; on taking on the role of Boston mob kingpin Whitey Bulger in the biopic, reports Deadline.  According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp is planning to leave over a pay dispute. Attempting to trim the movie&amp;#039;s budget, the filmmakers are said to have asked the actor to accept half his original $20 million payment. Joel Edgerton recently came on board to play Bulger&amp;#039;s FBI agent ally John Connolly. Depp will return in 2015 for Pirates of the Caribbean 5, which recently signed directors Joachim R\u00C3\u00B8nning and Espen Sandberg. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
