Though English is not my first language I´d say that
"a seven figure salary" would meen a million, still not pointed out
how many millions. The article breathes that Disney may have thought they hired some low-budget grunge pseudo star who could do his part for a box of Stoli and free smack. Being in Keefsters rank you dont have to run after film companies. They´ll come back... But sure I would like to see Sparrow Sr. on the screen; as it´s said: way too early to count Mr.Richards out.
