Pirates of the Caribbean 4 in 2011?

— Posted by John Campea

Found via our friends over at MoviesOnline, it appears that AICN has a “scooper” that is telling them a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is indeed on the way and that such a film (whatever it will be about… no details are really given) is being targeted for a 2011 release.

First thing I have to obviously say is take anything from a “scooper” with a giant grain of salt. Having said that, let’s proceed with the rest of this post assuming the information to be true. It brings a couple of thoughts to mind:

1) No one is surprised – The films make more money than porn (not really… it’s just an expression), and no matter how bad the last couple of them were, they still made money. This is the movie BUSINESS, and if they think there is more money to be made… then they’ll do it. And so would you.

2) A Pirates of the Caribbean 4 focused on Jack and Barbossa could interest me – Let’s face it, each Pirates movie has gotten progressively worse and worse. The first one was brilliant, the second one was just below mediocre, and the third one was absolute shit. The films got further and further away from their main strengths… namely Captain Jack and Captain Barbossa. If you make a 4th one about these two characters and keep the story tight instead of floundering all over the place, I COULD get excited about it… but even then I doubt it at this point.

3) In the name of all that is good and holy… no more Orlando Bloom or Keira Knightly – I love Knightly, but her character has been nothing but a dead weight in these films. She needs to go. As for Bloom… he needs to consider a career change, or pray he can be an elf again in the Hobbit movies.

So what about you? Does the notion of a Pirates 4 excite you? Repulse you? indifferent?

Imean Shaheed was working last Sunday when federal agents rushed into the Patapsco Flea Market, announced over the loudspeaker that the bazaar was closed for business and shut down vendors selling  <b><a href="http://www.cheaplouisvuittonhandbags-usa.org">Cheap Louis Vuitton Handbags</a></b> and Tiffany & Co. jewelry."It was like the movies," the 20-year-old Shaheed said Saturday after the Cherry Hill flea market re-opened. Some booths were empty, but the parking lot was full and customers flocked to vendors such as Shaheed who were open for business via <b><a href="http://www.cheaplouisvuittonhandbags-usa.org">Louis Vuitton Outlet Store</a></b>.

Best movie yet about pirates and romance when i first saw this movie it was the most action pact movie that i ever watched. Jack is a rebel and i adored him to no end. even if it was a W D movie i was not supposed to watch it if i had never watched it i would never have become who i am today.

This movie pales in comparison to the first. It is not as good as the second or third either. It is bad enough that I actually had to stop watching it and take a break. It just seems cheesy to the point of being stupid. There are a few scenes that make it watchable though. The mermaid scene is really cool and reminds me of the quality of the first movie alot.

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT TILL THE NEW POTC MOVIE COMES OUT.... i love all of the movies so far.... plus i am a huge Johnny Depp fan... yea i no fan girl. I wont miss Knightly and Bloom, they were almost turning the movie into a drama... i have watched the trailer for POTC 4 and it looks like it will be funny.

i do agree that knightly and bloom need to go. from how worlds end ended, they don't need to be in a fourth movie. i love pirates of the Caribbean! i cant wait for this movie

I think Hollywood cinema has been long in waiting for more of Johnny Depp at his best. His Jack Sparrow creation is so strong that POTC 7 and 8 would still be (at least) watchable. People have kind of forgotten how influential his character was when POTC 1 came out; personally, I went to every fancy dress party dressed as him. But that's besides the point...

The first film was obviously brilliant, and the second wasn't bad either, but the complete disaster that was the third movie was purely down to the poor script. They've got a new director, Rob Marshall ('Nine', 'Chicago'), which is a good move in my opinion, but I think an entirely new crew will give POTC 4 the re-imaging that it deserves.

Let's be honest, you can't leave the trilogy as it is; at that shitty ending of Will and Elizabeth getting frisky on the beach and Jack delivering those cheesy one-liners to Scarlett and Giselle. It was so awkward I wanted to hurl.

I really disagree. the first movie was amazing. the other ones were great aswell not like the first but i wasnt disapointed. im bummed that bloom and knightly arent comming back just because theyre part of the story since the begining but as long as johnny depp is back is all that mstters. he is an amazing actor and im excited to see the sequal.

i love pirates of the carribean. i very much disagree with the bloom and knightly comments because the "love triangle" and the "love" between them is really in focus with people my age. when i went and saw at worlds end with all my friends we cried in the end when will came up and saw elizabeth. ending his character was a great and dramatic change but i dont think he should be taken out of the movie. maybe knightly because she is kind of dull and downer.

But their story is done. There is no need for them to be in any continuing movies.

And they will not be.

I absolutely love pirates, I am absolutely hooked, but If that italian prey mantis penelope cruz gets put in the movie, you wont see me buying it or going to the theatres to see it

After reading this very long movie blog and all the interesting opinions in it, I'd thought I'd put my two cents in as well.

I for one am glad Knighty isn't interested in doing a 4th movie because I have no interest in seeing her for a 4th movie.

It's true that as long as Johnny Depp is in it, people will pay (I know I will)

I want to see a PIRATE movie and not some sappy romance movie. The whole thing with will and elizabeth is OVER. (hope what Daniel said about no Knighty and Bloom is true)

And to all of the people who are just whining "They have a kid. Let's put the kid in. Let's make it one big happy family adventue so we can save will" NO! NO! NO! NO! IT'S OVER! THE END!

Okay. Calming down. I would like to see a more Jack Sparrow/Barbossa focussed movie. I would also like to see Captain Teague in it too.

All in all, I just want to see a cool pirate movie.

If they brought Keith Richards back that would be AWESOME

well, I would just not agree with you, John. The first movie was too abstract, unbelievable...teen crap! then it just got better! you could enjoy parallel stories going on, Jack selfish plans and the dirt of pirates of that time! It's a pity though, that the movie will come after such a long time. i cannot wait to see it! As for Orlando and the chick, you cannot avoid them as they play a very important part, "the captain of the flying Dutchman and his chick that has sex once in ten years(she cheats him all the time). I never had a problem with them...I really enjoyed it. it is indeed a great movie...

ive just been checking on some different websites and i read on an update of june 11 09 that there will be a potc 4. shooting will take place between late 09 through 2011. yea and knightley and bloom wont be back in it because they r asking for too much money and the film could already cost enough. the film might lack some special effects that the first three had. thats all it said.

The only reason that some people dont like the parts of will and elizabeth in the movies is because they dont like the romance. but think of it this way, originally a good reason for them to have the romance with the action was to appeal to different audiences. take away the romance and it wont get the same response it got before

Daniel

ive got some bad news to all of u potc fans. found out that gore verbinski (director of all movies) has dropped all plans for potc 4. when i found this out i asked loads of ppl and they all said it was true. main reason he is going to stop with them is because he wants to focus on more movies he will be making. all of u can deny it but i think its true. sry people.

I have to agree with Darthmuppet, At worlds End was the better of 2 and 3, nothing beats Curse of the Black Pearl, but thats because its the first of the them and just like any series of movies the first is 98% of the time the best because its the first time your meeting the characters and whatnot. again i have to agree Bloom is not a bad actor, just not given a good chance everyone is focused on Depp as Jack sparrow, dont get me wrong Jack is better then most characters i have seen in years, Knightly eh is all i can say about her,, she has had some good moments in the pirates movies but not a real good run other then those few moments, so i do have agree in saying with a 4th movies make it more on Jack and barbossa but NOT a prequel please,, start from where at worlds end left off,, both of them going for the fountain of youth and maybe throw in a few things about both of their pasts like how or why Jones brought the Pearl up for jack in the first place, or more about how Jack and Barbossa know each other make it new but still keep on jack mainly

i loved 1, 2 and 3 and i allways wished for a number 4

i love it it is the best film ever made

it is great to watch and i watch it all the time cant wait for number 4

abigail xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

p.s orlando and johnny r fit as

i hope all of them r in it n not just jack xxxx

Daniel

so alexis wat u r saying is that johnny depp should not be in fourth and the movie should focus on knightley and bloom. another thing is that it is far from "their" movie becuz it is depp's movie more than anyone else's whether u like it or not (i think everyone will agree with that). o and one more thing, the last scene in the third movie ended with depp so i think it will continue to be that way.

alexis
alexis

I totallly freaking agreee with travis and ally . I mean what the hell ?!!? It was Bloom and Knightly's movie in the first place , I mean, don't get me wrong because Depp is a major part in this movie, but it was their movie to start out with and it's GOING TO BE THEIR movie to end it with ! There will be a number 4 and its going to be waaay beast ! Just wait and see .

erin

jonny depp is the best part and anyone would pay to see him but knitly is a slut she needs to go the big screan has a better shot with out her jonny depp is ganna make it big add new charictors and you have a hot movie

erin
erin

i think that elizabith should walk away if they want a hit she is not cut out for the bussniss of pirats of the caribean will is ok but could be better if he went the movie has a better shot but elizabith needs to go

I actually can't wait for POTC 4... btw both Bloom and Knightley have said no more pirates - which is good because I think we've seen enough of Elizabeth/Will's story... lets not milk it completely, u get?

And yeah, a film focussing on Barbossa and Jack wud be wkd...

Oh yeah, and POTC 3 wasn't that bad... I just hated the whole trying to add characters simply to get famous people in (like Sao Feng's bloody useless character... i dunno the actor's name)... and, Keith Richards - couldn't they get him to lay of the crack for at least 24 hours?

Well look,s like u got some compition tPirate Girl For Life

because I 'm the #| 1 fan of ptoc cauz I know every thing about potc aand I v wach the movies over and over again and I go see it twice wen it comes to the movies onexc on the fist day that it comes out and on th elast day that it's on so ha there u go!! and plus like I said befor it's nice to get rid of Will and Elizabeth because there hole lovydoby thing is getting old and repetive.

Also... if they are able to bring all these other characters back... they should bring back Capt. James Norrington. I ended up liking him. He turned out to be noble at the end, after all. Would like to see him back too. :-)

POTC RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pirate Girl For Life
Pirate Girl For Life

I just have to mention... I am the biggest POTC fan!!! My son and I watch all 3 movies over and over and over! And for me, they can make tons more POTC movies... I'll be there in the front seat on opening night to see them!!!

Just to comment on what everyone has been saying about Kiera and Orlando... I totally think they need to be brought back to the 4th installment of the series. I mean, come on... We have "grown" with these characters since the 1st movie. It just wouldn't be the same without them. On another note, i would preffer to see their characters written off than to be played by any other different actors. I don't like watching an actor/actress play a specific character, and get to know them as that character, then BAM! They change the actor/actress in the future movies.

And for the person that commented on it being that they are tying POTC into Peter Pan... if they do this, and pull it off, OMG! That would be totally brilliant...

All I know, is that I am wayyyyyyyy excited for this 4th part to come out, ready to see Capt Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, the crew of the Black Pearl... Hell, it would even be nice to see them bring Davy Jones back, and i would like to see more of Calypso.

This Pirate Girl is a'waiting anxiously!!!!

lol I agree wiht Daniel here so yah I gess that u and all thee auhter Will and Elizabeht fans are gonna have to exsept the fact that there gone to a better place so they can make more room for my fav cachrater Barbossa and to also leave room for a new cahrater wich is my fav pirate capitan Black beared cauz yah it is oficial capitain blackbeared will be in the 4th movie yayy DX.

notice melissa the movie is called PIRATES of the Caribbean, not ROMANCE of the Caribbean.

melissa

U are crazy (im responding to the ffirst original scooper)

will and elizabeth are the only reason id watch a 4 th one..dont get me wrong i love jack..but it would pointless to leave it at the loser ending in the third one...elizabeth has a kid with will and she can only see her true love one day every ten years..that is just mad and sad....that is the sadest most worst ending ever they better fix it in the 4th one..maybe somebody can take wills place and he can go live with elizabeth....frankly i dont care about the fountain of youth or barbosa..i just want will and elizabeth to e together again

bob

i agree with harry potter!

well micky we could say the same thing aboht norrington sec he was in all the movies and they just got rid of him in the 3th one so was that stupied , was that a bad ideal I mean Elizabeth and Will did there time so it,s time for them to go and leave room for new chacraters

Micky
Micky

I Am Very Excited That There Is Going To be A Fourth Movie. But Getting Rid Of Elizabeth And Will Will Be A Mistake. Elizabeth Hasnt Been A 'Dead Weight' She Is An Important Character And Getting Rid Of Her Will Ruin The Movie. She And Will Have Been In All The Movies And Getting Rid Of Them Now Is Just Plain Stupid. Do Yourself A Favour And Dont Get Rid Of Them!!!!

I aagree with Daniel. But Kiera Kinghtly is not even gonna be in the nex movie because she clearly said that she had no atention in to going in the 4th one so they probebly found some ohter chick to replace her or they just cut her of the movie.

I love all three movies. I think that they should have elizabeth and will in the next one and the fountian of youth should be to help save will and and of corse jack and Barabossa will help. Zack Efron should not be in the movie there is no room for a musical. this is a pirate movie!

aggresivefriend
