We have new Pirates related news for you kids! This may be fake news, but I am pretty sure we al could smell a Pirates 4 from a mile away. We get the following secret scoop from a one eyed, top hat wearing crocodile known as cinemablend:
Our source says that Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is no longer just a possibility, it’s almost a certainty. More importantly, Johnny Depp is all but assured to return, though our scooper claims he may end up making as much as $35 – $40 million to do it. Also returning will be Geoffrey Rush and Gore Verbinski as director, but forget about the rest of the cast because from now on the movies will only be about Captain Jack.
That’s right, Pirates 4 will cast aside Will and Elizabeth to make it an all Jack Sparrow movie.
Don’t get too attached to the idea of another Pirates of the Caribbean sequel though. Our insider thinks that Disney plans to take a long, long breather between Pirates movies: “word is that the start date could be around 2009 to 2011.” I don’t think we need another Pirates sequel, but if they’re going to do one, giving the franchise time to recharge is probably a very good idea.
From what we have here, this actually sounds like the best news we could of heard. A movie that focuses on Jack Sparrow is fine by me. In fact, I have said that is what they should of had all along. Well Star Wars 1, 2, 3 were garbage maybe Pirates is going to follow suit and make sure that we at least have an enjoyable 4, 5, and 6.
I guess that is a positive in the argument for more Pirates films; they can’t get any worse. I would still love to see more films about pirates, preferably outside of this franchise. Piracy is just an incredibly interesting way to earn a living and I think they are a fascinating bunch of hooligans that float upon the seas of the globe to this day.
