Geoffrey Rush Talks Chances Of Pirates 4
I’ve already talked more than enough here on The Movie Blog about how dreadfully awful Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was enough, so I won’t go there again… except to say that MOST fans of the franchise at least agree that the quality of the Pirates films have steadily gone down since the first one.
But even with that being the case… the film made over $960 million world wide. So even though they’ve run this franchise into the ground… the possibility of there being a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is a very real one when so much frigging money is there to be made. So will there be a Pirates of the Caribbean 4?
The good folks overt at ComingSoon have the thoughts of Geoffrey Rush (Captain Barbossa) on the matter:
“I think people will let it sit for a while,” he told us. “There’s a strange attitude about franchise movies. People look at them as that rather than storytelling. Back in the old days, how many Thin Man movies did William Powell end up doing? Probably five or six. How many road movies did Bob and Bing end up doing over 25-year period? There could be a point… because Jack Sparrow is probably now to a certain generation more well known as a representative of the Disney imagination than Mickey Mouse himself and Johnny’s performance in that role is such an extraordinary thing… that it may pop up.”
So basically what we get from that is:
1) There are no Pirates 4 plans YET
2) Rush seems to think there will be eventually
So basically Rush just thinks the same thing most of us do. There will probably eventually be a Pirates 4… but there isn’t one coming anytime drastically soon… especially with the strike coming.
I’m glad another one isn’t coming anytime soon. The last two sucked so much.
I’m surprised they haven’t made an animated series or movie based on the pirate films yet.
I hope they make more. Part 3 was my favorite of the three-quels this summer (which I know isn’t a resounding endorsement). But take a couple years instead of rushing another installment, like they did with part 3. Let Jack be the center of the movie, no one else. And please, if you get a talent like Chow Yun-Fat, give them something important to do besides die.
MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly do hope they make a potc 4 movie but wait at lesat two to three years like they did with the second & third movie and perhaps they might base it around the fountain of youth and might help out the predicament that elizabeth is in with her husband will; he might give her the drink and that way she ll be with will forever on the ship or something like that because their story has yet to be told plus both Jack & Barbossa were going after it at the end of AWE so who knows, yet i hope they help out elizabeth & will because the clip was so heartbreaking.
My daughter and I have loved all three movies and hope a Pirates IV will be made within 2-3 years. We own all the movies so far and watch them often. We live by the ocean so maybe that makes it better. I agree we need more of the Will & Elizabeth story, especially with the boy child in the end; and Jack & Barbossa were not over either. The people that say they don’t like the movies – keep the negativity to yourself! The world does not need more negativity. These have all been good quality movies. And might I say Will and Jack just keep getting better looking every time.
