4th PotC Movie Announced

[Nova Hawk]

The long wait is finally over. The 4th PotC movie has finally been announced. The only bummer about this is that Orlando Bloom & Keira Knightley both are not going to be in... along with the director, Gore Verbinski. But never fear! The legendary Captain Jack (Johnny Depp) and the rival Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) are still gonna be in it. Like the rest of you, I am a big fan of PotC and can't wait to see how this plays out.

Here's the link to back up this info: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/movie-t ... tes-4.html

Now, discuss.

What? But how? The story is over. Hmm, so it's some sort of prequel? I don't know what to think of it.

The story is not over. They left a nice opening at the end of the last film, and for the purpose of creating this fourth film. This is old news, it's just new news that pre-production seems to be finally ending, and we're approaching the production stages. Of course, the news of no Bloom or Knightley is no new news either, the fourth movie was planned back already to focus mainly between Sparrow and Barbarossa. This news about Verbinski, although the BioShock movie was put on hold , is news, although there was speculation back then as well. Oh well.

It's not a prequel, it's following where the last film left off, with Sparrow and Barbarossa simultaneously hunting the Fountain of Youth, although now it appears that Blackbeard is being thrown into the film mythos as well.

[Nihillo]

Really? I don't remember any of that... but that's probably because I have a bad memory.

Alright then, I will watch it, I enjoyed the previous movies and I will hopefully enjoy the next one too.

I wonder if Blackbeard is a codeword for Barbosa.

[EraOfDesann]

Even though the sequels are messy and inferior to the original I still enjoy them so I'm looking forward to this. I'm not bummed about Will and Elizabeth being excluded -- their story is finished, plus that ridiculous love triangle helped to drag the sequels down. This leaves more room for Jack and Barbossa, and honestly, do we care about anyone else? I just hope that this time the writers leave the humor to Depp, but I doubt they will.

I really hope the rumors about this being set in space at one point were not true

Lol, I can just see Jack getting chased by a squad of TIE fighters.

"Barbossa" is derived from "Barbarossa", which means "red".

"Barbossa" is derived from "Barbarossa", which means "red".

Not "red," "red-beard." Barba - rossa.

[Lord Bardar]

I realize now that I wrote Barbarossa instead of Barbossa lol.

*facepalm* Oh, duh. I can't believe I forgot something I learned in school.

[Maveritchell]

You will believe it ten years from now. You'll forget everything.

A fourth one? PotC has officially fallen into the realm of "Serieses that will not DIE!!!"

I'll probably still see it though. After all, it is Pirates!

This is my reaction.(ignore the title)

I really hope the rumors about Miley Cyrus playing a character aren't true...

Hence my reaction.

[EraOfDesann]

With any live action Disney film there are always going to be rumors about Miley Cryus or Zac Effron joining the cast. They're just rumors.

Space pirates? Nice.

But yeah, while I'll probably end up seeing this, it'll most likely be on TV a year or two after the release. The original movie was good, but IMO, they ruined it after that.
