Pirates of the Caribbean 4 On Stranger Tides

April 1st 2010 16:55

Those pirates are at it again! Well, if we consider Jerry Bruckheimer a pirate, that is. While many successful plots plan out to a trilogy, the loot that can be plundered from audiences is too great to cut off Jack at 3 movies. To dig a little deeper into that treasure trove, a fourth movie, On Stranger Tides, is in the works.

When we last left Jack, he was sitting in a dinghy with his map to the fountain of youth in hand, another one of his plans to live forever, the last one (become captain of the Dutchman) sacrificed to help that goodie goodie Will Turner out. And for that, as well various other actual reasons, Orlando, Keira, and most of the cast are walking the plank, so to speak, save the main protagonist Depp and Barbosa (Geoffery Rush.) There is some speculation that Knightley's recent plastic surgeries are not exactly making her look very good to the new director Rob Marshall, but that's just hearsay.

Penelope Cruz is going to enter the franchise, reportedly to play the romantic interest for Sparrow now that Elizabeth and Will have sailed off into their own little green sunset.

Of course the plot will be centered around finding that Fountain of Youth which Jack so conveniently has the map to, including a stop in New Orleans (perhaps the Frenchies will make an entrance, non?) and a new enemy, Blackbeard. Blackbeard will be played by Ian Mcshane, (Coach from Death Race) and is described as being "the nastiest pirate ever."

So, will this be yet another treasure chest for Bruckheimer, or will this tide be the one that swamps the boat?
