This will come as a surprise to absolutely no one… but it appears what we’ve all suspected (that the next Pirates of the Caribbean film will focus on a hunt and race for the mythical Fountain of Youth) may indeed be “fact”.
Jeff Wells over at Hollywood Elsewhere is reporting that an inside source of his has confirmed this to him.
The project is supposed to start shooting next year with a 2012 release date.
I HATED Pirates 3. Total absolute trash that continued the franchises downward spiral since the brilliance of the first film. I really do hope they can get this franchise back on track. Perhaps with the removal of Knighly and Bloom the film can focus more on the stronger characters of Sparoow and Barbosa. That alone should make the film 3x better.
