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?

I agree with you to an extent John… I also think that a focusing on Jack Sparrow/Barbossa could be very interesting.
I gotta’ say though, I never agreed with your opinion of the second and third films in the series. I know I’m most likely in the minority here, but At Worlds End is actually my favorite film of the series.
I’ve also never really had a problem with either Knightly or Bloom’s work in Pirates. I’ve never really been a huge fan of KH, but I thought she did a decent job in the Pirates films.
Another thing that I’m sure will put me in the minority is my take on Orlando Bloom… I actually think the guy is a pretty decent actor and I’ve never really understood what everyones problem with him was. Just check him out in the director’s cut of Kingdom Of Heaven(not the horrid excuse for a film that was the theatrical cut… terrible, terrible film… but the director’s cut is a classic), you really get to see how good the guy can be in that version. If the Director’s cut had been the version that was released in theaters, I don’t think everyone would rag on the guy they way they do. Who knows, I may just be waaaaay off base here. Wouldn’t be the first time.
That’s not to say that I want Orlando or Keira back in any further Pirates films or anything. Their characters’ story lines were brought to a close and to bring them back would just be plain idiotic.

IF the movie will focus on Barbossa & Jack then I’m in. I love pirates and would be interested in seeing a PIRATE movie with all the scoundrel carousing, double crossing and NO retarded love story to distract. Love has no place in a pirate movie! I want the open sea, tawdy whores at port, cannon explosions and sword fights.

Just like DarthMuppet I thought At Worlds End was a at least as good as the original. It would be nice to see them remove Bloom and Knightly, as their characters storylines seemed completely finished in At Worlds End.
Who knows, they could try and make another 3 films with two new supporting roles…

I am a huge fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but after the first they began to head downhill. I have to say the first and second movies were excellent and well put together. On the other hand, the third was to long and carried way to many different plots at one time. There were some points in the third movie that just made you want to hit the fast forward button to hurry it up and get to the good action scenes.
A fourth movie is both good and bad in my opinion. Good because Bloom and Knightley’s departure will help the fourth movie a lot. Their parts (especially in the third) tended to complicate the movies. I didn’t mind Orlando’s character, but I could not stand the character Keira played. Also, I am interested to see what Disney will do with Captain Jack Sparrow and his arch enemy Captain Barbossa and how the story will progress.
It’s bad because Disney is going to blow Pirates out of proportion and ruin the Pirates Trilogy. The Pirates movies brought in a lot of money so Disney will continue to do them as long as their is a considerable profit in sight. Who wouldn’t?

I agree that a movie between Capt Jack and Barbosa could be a winner. I’m tired of the lady pirate. Let’s move past the love story and into the pirate story.

I agree that it would be pretty cool if it had to deal with just Jack and Barbossa. I actually liked all 3 POTC films, yet I do think that it would be nice to not have Knightley in POTC 4. I haven’t had any problem with her, and I’m not saying she’s a bad actress, it’s just by POTC 3, the love stuff kinda had nothing to it. As for Bloom…heck, I could take him in POTC 4. The only movie I disliked him in was Troy, but that was mostly because of Diane Kruger making him suck. POTC 4. Let’s hope it works

I’m all for the POTC movies. The Pirate genre, if there’s such a thing, is unique nowadays and we can always use one every so often. 2011 would be 4 years after the last one, so that should be ok.

REBOOT
I think they should keep making more and more. No matter what happens, I will still pay to see Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow again and again. No matter what storyline they take, I think my movie ticket was worth it. However, I, like some of you think that Keira should be taken away and the should focus more on Jack. As far as Orlando’s character is concerned, I think he should be forgotten for a while and possibly make his re-appearence in POTC 6… that’s if they get that far…
Mar 12th, 2008

I love the characters of Jack Sparrow and Barbosa, and would love to see them in future films. But I also don’t think Bloom and Knightley were dead weight. They were both an integral part of the story since film 1.

I hate the idea… I thought the sequels were okay, but after I heard on another site one of the producers calling it a “buddy flick” I want to shoot myself. Hollywood needs to STOP after 3 movies for any franchise (only breaking the rule with films that were exceptionally good)… So much bs out now. UGH.
And aww at Bloom and Knightly… dunno why everyone hates them (all my female friends hate Knightly and other random young female actresses like Scarlett Johannson… sad because I don’t like the reverse… I’m especially disgusted by all Disney derived young stars… does it say somewhere in live-action Disney film contracts that you need to overact or something? UGH…)

I enjoyed all of the films. I would like to know what happening w/will and liz but other then that it being about Jack and Barbossa would be find. What would a pirate movie be w/o a love story to go along with it.

Orlando and Kiera would have to be in the 4th movie. They’re the best part!!!!!!!!
Apr 8th, 2008
Emily
That’s so true!!!!! I can’t imagine Pirates of the Caribbean without Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley, they’re the main part of the whole story. Some people may say that their story has ended, but in a way it hasn’t because they still have the rest of their lives to live. E.g. they could have everyone fighting over who drinks from the fountain of youth,as they would be able to live forever…it could lift Will’s curse - hint hint!

That sounds like a really good idea! The producers would be making a big mistake if they cut their roles!

just bear with me here. i know most of u are repulsed by the mere idea of a pirate 4. i however am THRILLED!! the third was a little jumpy but if u get rid of elizabeth and will and get back down to earth a little it could be phenomenol! i wish i had a chance to talk to mr bruckhimer and gore verbinski to suggest to them what to add and what to lose. get back to me if u can. thank u

having balboa and jack mainly focused on is a good thought, but i strongly disagree. I wouldnt want to watch a movie that only has two characters. Its fun to watch a bunch of witty characters. anyway jack needs his crew. I enjoyed 3 the most, and i dont think it was at all shitty, there working hard to put out these movies and i got to say the actors are great. Characters elizebeth swan and will turner are great, it gives the movie romance.

I HEART ORLANDO BLOOM! HE SHOULDNT LEAVE! keira could stay 2 but i think that they r good actors and i loved all the pirates of the caribbean movies

Cary
When I heard the initial rumors of a 4th movie shortly after the release of PotC3, I heard that it was going to focus mainly on Jack (Didn’t hear much about Barbossa, but it’s possible.)
And I agree on your opinion and the movies declined with their actual quality, but that tends to happen to many movies when sequals come out.
But one thing I want to express my opinion on is that truthfully, I think Kiera and Orlando should deffinitly be brought back. I personally don’t like Kiera all that much myself, but I think they would at least need to make some small cameo somewhere. And yes, Orlando typically plays the “get-the-girl-pretty-boy” in a big majority of his movies, and he’s far stronger in some films than others, but I think Pirates is a good place for him. It’s a balance between his “heartbreaker” and his “hero” character aspects. Two things you must consider, though.
First of all, even if the Will/Elizabeth saga may seem to be over at the end of Pirates3, they managed to bring Barbossa back into the plot even after he died- and since I personally believe it was never in their official plans to make a long series out of it (don’t take my word for it, I just think that…) it could have easily ended where it did in the first movie. But they did it. So they could easily find some reason for them to come back, too.
Secondly, it’s a Disney movie. And as you all may know, just about every Disney movie has love in it. So it’d seem out of place for them to leave no room for romance. And since Jack can’t seem to find that one special girl, they at least would need Will and Elizabeth for that. Unless they could find some way to introduce more destined lovers… which is doubtful.

Pirates 4 would be a great installment on this already fabulous series, for those that say that At Worlds End wasnt great most likely didnt understand the plot and all the scallywaggin going on. Everyone was double crossing everyone, is that not the pirate way???? Quit bitchin and enjoy these movies for what they are…
Peace.

i would love to see a pirates 4 but only if the story is good. i personally would be very mad if they took elizabetha and will out of the story. i’d like to see some newer characters though.
Apr 23rd, 2008
MW
first off, the last two movies were genious.. im sorry you have no appreciation for good cinema. however i agree about kiera knightly and the other fag, they need to go. the only way i want to see another movie with kiera knightly is if it’s rated “r” for nudity… if you see what im getting at…
but on a more serious note… i think the pirates 4 should pick up where the 3rd left off… with jack and barbosa in a race to find the fountain of youth.. and some freak accident, like will’s blacksmith shop burns down and he and elizabeth are trapped inside, and that would end the reign of the 2 of them.
Apr 23rd, 2008

MW, will is the captain of the flying dutchman now, remember?
But anyway, the ideas involving the ‘new developments in travel (air)’, the fountain of youth, and the ‘lost city (atlantis or something)’ that have already been thrown to us all sound good to me.
and fuck all you people who think the story should be tighter. the vast and epic glory of these movies deserves more respect than that. fuck you all.
can’t wait for the movie! ^_^

Seems like everyone wants to be a movie critic. Remember what movies are: escapism, pure and simple. I thoroughly enjoyed all three films and would enjoy seeing more. They have an ensemble of actors that works well on the screen. Relax and enjoy. That’s what the films are for. Anyone who wants to fuss needs to talk to the writers of the films.
Apr 24th, 2008
movie man
I liked the POTC movies and think another one would be good but either Elizabeth and Will should be totally ignored or they find out something about the fountain of youth while Jack + Barbossa are out fighting for it
then the Turners will have to help Jack (or Barbossa) before something bad happens

they might have some faults but the movies cant have exactly everything you want

I think the last ones have been great!! i think bloom and knightley need to be in it also with , of course, captain jack!! I hope it shows will and elizabeth with their son raising him. Why would anyone go see POTC 4 if Bloom Knighley or Depp is not in it?? I wouldnt!!
Apr 24th, 2008

I agree with everyone to some point:
* i think a fourth pirates wouldnt make as much as the previous because it been publicised too much in the “its on, its off, its on” sense. yt he time they do make a decision another great set of movies with everything we loved about pirates wil come along
* although i loved orlando and keira as wil and elizabeth in the last 3 movies, and i hated the thought of them leaving, i know realise, theyre story has been closed, especially with the child in focus (unless its jacks lol). imagine that though, an aged elizabeth with crowsfeet and a to be teenager son lugging along behind his parents footsteps. personally i hate the whole “shhow them raising theyre piate son” if theyre son wasnt there, it mightnt be such a bad thing having them back…maybe someone could “accidently” feed it to the kraken ?? lol
* get back down to real pirates. although wil and elizabeths love story was great and heartwarming, by the third it took up to much of the storyy space, we need to see more action here! and not just on the shore with a beautiful ladys boots off! we need real pirate action, and if the 4th movie delivers that than great
*im scared, liek everyone else, that the past movies have had an effect on us and them that pushes them int making a movie that shouldnt be made. wat if in 20 ears from now w elook back at this fourth movie as a failure? it will burden the 3 fantastically written, acted, directed and showcased movies before it
wowie, sorry about the long comment

DeadGuy
Anyone else notice that it’s mainly women defending Bloom and Knightly, and all their responses are simply:
“No, they can’t get rid of Orlando and Kiera! I love them! Waaaaaa… etc.”
Get real kiddos, Kiera’s character was just annoying by the third film and Orlando had nothing to do but look constipated in an attempt to convey emotion. They had the scene at the end of the credits in the third film, that’s the filmaker’s way of saying this is what happened to them, THE END.
There is nothing left for them. Time for Jack and Barbossa and lots of treachery and fighting.

Entertainment is what I look for in a feature film and all three POTC films supplied that in torrents. When you become an armchair film critic you start to loose focus of the entertainment value. Unless you are being paid to critique the POTC films, just sit back and enjoy the entertainment.
I would like to see all characters return in POTC 4 to get closure on all of them. Preferably a happy ending for all, including Barbarosa.

I thought the first movie was gold, the second was good, the third good aswell. it was like the godfather trilogy. I loved all the movies, not so much the parts with will and elizabeth. I thought it was too dramatic, for instace in pirates 3 when they are fighting fish people and decided to get married. dont you think there were better times to consider that I mean honestly!

OK seriously. I don’t really do any blogging at all. as a matter of fact its my first, but I was reading some of the entries here and felt that I just had to say something. I am a big fan of the pirates series, and honestly it gets a little tiring hearing people rip on certain aspects of the movies. Regardless if you like kiera and orlando, you cant escape the fact that jack is mainly comic relief and a way to tie all the characters together. I’m sorry, but it’s true, I mean thats why we all love him. hes not really caught up with all the drama that everyone else is in. And remember that the series started as kiera and bloom’s story. And I’d kind of like to see how that turns out. And by the way, their story isn’t complete as a lot of you seem to be eluding to. If you’ll recall, the boy at the end of the 3rd film watching his father(Will) come home with his mother(Kiera), is the same boy that got hung at the beginning of the movie. Now obviously, a lot happened between those 2 points, and personally, I’d like to see what it was. I’ll tell you the truth, I haven’t read anything about whether they’re making a 4th one or what it might be about, but in my opinion ( based on what I’ve seen in the movies), there WILL be a 4th one because there’s just too many ?’s left unanswered, and their still is money to be made off this franchise. Elizabeth and Turner WILL be in it, because their the foundation, and their story isn’t finished yet. And its going to be awesome, just like the rest.
Apr 25th, 2008

All the movies have been fantastic and wonderous. I knew after At Worlds End that they couldnt let it all end like that. Turner will be with Elizabeth and Jack will finally have control of the Black Pearl himself.

ok the first was wobly but good the begining started alitel slow but it did not suck 2 was boring but important for the storyline for 3 2 had 1 good part and that was when the crackin attacked 3 great overall especialy the fight between pearl and duchmen that was definitly the best part another thing 3 had some funny parts

I think that Keira should be in this one. No orlando because he’s all about the “oh I’m a big man and great hero, I’m the coolest!’ I’d really like to see Johnny Depp again, I think he’s great. More of tia dalma too! And mr. Barbossa. I have to say I liked all of them except two and three were too lovey dovey. I want to hear about pirates!!! Not relationships between two people and feelings and burdens and blahbiddyblahbiddyblah! I hope that 4 will be a lot better.

BIG NEWS!!! Ok I’ve heard from an inside source, I can’t name names or he/she will lose his/her job…. Ok yes the fourth movie will be Jack Sparrow and Barbossa searching for a way to live forever which includes the fountain of youth and a door way to another world where you can live forever.
SPOILER: Neither Jack Sparrow, nor Barbossa make it to the new world, but do you know who does instead?… Jack’s dad. Haven’t you noticed a striking resemblence between Jack’s dad and Captain Hook from Peter Pan? and haven’t you noticed a striking resemblence between his helper and Mr. Smee? Well they’re tieing the two movies together. They’re going to find Neverland!

I do u agree that they should focuse on jack sparrow and barbossa but the movie would not be the same if keria knightly & orlando bloom left.I say that because everyone will be like ”were” is will tunner & elizabeth?That will mostly upset everyone that has seen all the movies.
So…………….. i think they should NOT take keria knightly & orlando bloom out of the 4th movie!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apr 27th, 2008
Kaitlan
I think Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley are the best part too. The romance is a big part in this movie, because think about it this movie wouldn’t have been made without it because Will Turner only goes with Jack Sparrow to save Elizabeth Swan. So of course they should be in it!!!!!

One thing I think many have missed is the VERY end of the credits on Pirates 3. Elizabeth and a 10 yr old son watching & waiting for Will’s return on the horizon.
I think a Pirates 4 would good. A possible plot could be his kidnapping to get to Will. Also can see Jack & Barbosa being involved to save the boy.
Just thinking.

I think the third one has to be my favorite. It was just really good. And the end was another “To be continued” because they were talking about the fountain of youth. So why is it coming out in 3 years? Thats crap.
No more Knightly or bloom? I’m not a fan of either (johnny, i am in love with) but they are pretty important. For some reason i think the 4th will be bad, because orlando and keira had another story going, so why take them out???????? The people at disney can come up with something, i mean, come on, they are DISNEY.
I’m mad because (as i said) three years of waiting, no bloom, and isnt three enought (even tho i absolutly love them, but series do get crappy, as most people might agree. They just run out of GOOD ideas)
I am all for the whole Jack thing. I love him. =]

The way I see it, part three was definitely the best, and everybody who has bad stuff to say about Orlando and Keira, you just freakin’ suck!!!!! Why are you insulting them? They can’t be left out of the movie!!!! They play an essential part in the story for all three of the movies, so it would be idiotic to leave them out and there would be plenty of disappointed devoted fans (Like me), who wouldn’t want that. Also, Johnny is a really good actor. All of them, and Geoffrey Rush need to be in the movie because they mean a lot to it. It sucks if it takes until 2011 for the movie to come out. Fav. Actors- Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom (So love him and his British accent)

I love the pirates movies and the third is my favorite!!! If they made another it is for sure that I would wait outside for days to get in and see it. So if there is another movie I will be absolutly extatic. Not to mention that if they got rid of Orlando Bloom’s character there would be hundrads of thousands of very angry teenagers coming after Disney. I don’t know about all girls but all my friends fantize about a relationship like the one between Will and Elizabeth. Seriously, who doesn’t love a hot kiss in the rain in the middle of a sword fight???

pirates of the caribbean is the best movie series ever. end of story. everything about it is amazing from an actual character down to the blink of an eye. everything that happened in one two and three was perfect in every way possible. when i heard they were coming out with a fourth one i was phsyched beyond belief. i think in the fourth one they will probably focus on how barbossa and sparrow are both trying to be captain of the pearl. but we’ll see soon :))))!

You know I was actually disappointed that everyone is calling off Will and Elizabeth all the sudden….since when did this happen???? I actually like all the characters and I even want to be an actress myself when I’m older….But, I’ve heard it’s supposed to be a a trilogy not like a Quadrilogy (if that’s even a word…) They should call it something different if it should revolve around Barbossa and Jack Sparrow. I personally LOVE the POTC series but no more if they promised it was supposed to be a trilogy. I’ve even heard that Orli is tired of being in it so he will be a total out if this is true. But really, give the actors a chance to show what they really need to do….In the 3 especially I’ve noticed that Orli wasn’t playing his part as well as he was supposed to it’s kinda obvious when you first see him come out of the water when they pull him out you can see in his body language that he doesn’t really want to be in it anymore (trust me you’ll see it you need to look closely I’ve seen this in opening night in theaters) But, I kinda agree with some people Will’s and Elizabeths story kinda ended but it still doesn’t mean that they could show up in the fourth if it ever happens. I would like to see their son if the fountain of youth happens. I like all the movies just because somehow they tie together but I don’t get how people think that it goes totally wack it’s kinda bogus. But, whatever people say I won’t really care cause I have my own opinions that I can worry about not others. And they always leave cliff hangers on everything but when it shown Jack with the fountain of youth map it does leave a big gap. So, I am all for a fourth but at the same time I’m not just because they promised it was supposed to be a trilogy but, you’ll never know Hollywood likes to leave stuff out….

Jack Sparrow & Barbossa is a brilliant idea to focus more on them.
The whole Kiera Knightly and Orlando Bloom factor;
WOW; I like her in the movie.
To me At World’s End was my all-time favorite.
The second one I’ll admit wasn’t as good as the first.
But eh, it was still worth watching.
I can’t wait until the fourth one comes out!
[:
Well at the ending of At World’s End;
Doesn’t Orlando and Kiera have a baby?
I’m not completely sure about that part.

I think that William Turner is too much a pretty boy to my taste. He should get some edge on him. Elizabeth has her own twists, some character on her. William is just plain good innocent boy. I thought the second part was best, since i saw it first. After that it was truly disappointing to find out Elizabeth went finally with William, and not Jack. In the fourth one I hope to see some character developments: Jack falling truly in love, William developing other sides to him.
Too much of the action hazzle was the pointless part in 3rd, but I understand there has to be a lot of it at the border of living and dying. Without the meanings and story behind *pure action* is pointless time waste. One can make oneself into that state by using crack, which I hardly recommend tho ;)

kiera and orlando are the best!! i cnt believe u would say different i mean rlly and the third one was the best i think then the 1st the second one wasnt as good though i know tht but still only focusing on sparrow and babrbosa r u kidding me? i mean elizabeth and will are like the best part they r like the main roles too and they r so cute together y would u change tht bloom and knightley are the best! dnt kick them out. OR ELSE go piratessss. keep elizabeth swann(turner) and will turner!! kepp sparrow tooo and barbosa they r all greattt!!!! i loveee piratessss

i think that the movies would not do as well if you got rid of will and elizabeth. i mean after all the hole story revolves around will anyway. besides kira is a great actress and so is orlando.(but orlando is super hot, which is an extra bounus!!!) i think you would be stupid if you cut them out of the stories, esspesally because will and elizabeth had a kid! i love pirates! and so dose everybody that i know, you cant stop the seires OR CUT ANYONE OUT OF THE SERIES!
May 1st, 2008
kiara knitly sucks
kiara knitly is bot the main charector nor is orlando bloom, the only reason alot of people went to see this monvie is because of jack and barbarosa which is a way better actor then kiara knitly, i hope she dies in the next movie or is just never seen agian cause she gets on my nerves and alot of other peoples! she messed up the 3rd movie complelty !!!!! more jack and barbosa( good) more kiara and bloom ( worst movie ever)

I am for a Pirates 4,5 6,7,8,9, etc. as long as Johnny Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow. I NEVER get tired of seeing that face on the big screen. He plays Captain Jack as no one in this world could have played him. I actually got to liking Barbosa in POTC3. As for Keira, I could care less whether she comes back or not. Orlando is a fine actor and it may be that he could help Jack out getting back his precious Pearl. Who knows? Johnny himself said that he would play Jack as long as someone wanted him to. Who wouldn’t want to play pirates all day????

I think that another movie would be a good idea, and I know that I wasn’t the only one that felt a bit sad upon watching the last few minutes of Pirates 3. As said in above comments, a Disney movie just isn’t a Disney movie without a little romance, so maybe there could be an actual romance with Jack? I am sure that if there is an actual movie, the writers and Disney will be sure to create something that is just as pleasing as the original 3.
May 1st, 2008
Jay
I thought they were all brilliant. Best pirate movies in a long time. Done on a great scale.
I would be interested in a 4th. I would like to see the creation of the black pearl and how both pirates came to make it their own.
May 2nd, 2008
dennis
potc needs more action as disney has been told already. there is also evidence from the director that bloom and knightely will not participate as main charcters but might grab some very small parts.
In my point of view i think that they should awaken the kraken and davy jones will come back from the sea on it willing to kill orlando and sparrow for what they did to him.Also the fountain of youth would also bring more action into the film as some new british faggot person tries to reach there before the pirates and would need a advantage (hint hint …….. maybe elizabeth because she is holding the heart)
May 2nd, 2008
shannon
yay there is going to be another movie i am so obsessed!
but there is no more orlando he is sooooooo hot and keira is so pretty they are 2 of my fav movie stars
May 2nd, 2008

I think they left WAY too many things undone at the end of three. I mean, does Will only get to see his wife 1 day every 10 years? Is there a way to break the curse? Both Jack and Barbosa are looking for the fountain of youth…they want immortality, will they get it? I mean they dropped the last film off with everyone on their way to Florida. And for sure, BRING BACK KEITH RICHARDS as Jack’s father! That was awesome and they could do a great story with that in it. I don’t neccesarily think they need to do three more films but at least another one and actually give everyone some closure. The cool thing is that the movie can stand to happen with or without Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom (not that I don’t like them, but it is called PIRATES of the Carribean, not love story of the Caribbean).
May 2nd, 2008
Kaitlyn
under no circumtances do i agree with anything that person above said
i love all the pirate movies they are totally awesome and for your information ,person above, barbosa dies in the first one so why should all three movies be focused on him that would be boring. and also what would a movie be with out a little romance? orlando bloom just gets cuter with every movie so back off. i hope they make a pirate 4!!!! but if they leave out Will and Elizabeth it just wont be the same. jack is cool too!!!! pirates are awesome!! so ,person above, quit being a jerk and just watch the movie!
(when i say person above i mean the person at the way top not the commenters)

John, I’ve stood by in silence, but I can endure no more. I beg of you, shut down this thread. It’s like tween girls are searching on Yahoo for PIrates 4 and are pulling up this article. “LIKE OMG ORLANDO IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT OMFG!!!” I’m begging you, end my pain.

Hey I take exception to that comment about tween girls. I happen to be over 50 and enjoyed each and every POTC movie. All the actors were great and yes my fav was Johnny but then I have been a long time fan and not just become one because of the POTC movies.
All that said, what I would like to see but I doubt they’d do it, is a woman character as strong and as much as a scallywag as Jack that he could match wits with. I think that would be interesting instead of these damsel in destress women. Elizabeth’s character came close but not close enough.
ok I am done.

?!@$jimi2
bitchy bitchy bitchy everyone is…there is NOTHING wrong with the pirate series….no one said enough with star wars….so why does pirates have to end hmm? its a good story and i love it i want to see a 4th and maybe 5th
May 4th, 2008
Johnman
I agree with having Barbossa/Jack Sparrow being focused on, but I don’t think PotC 3 sucked, PotC 2 was shit, PotC1 was the best. And I like Blooms character (Will Turner), him and Jack keep the movie at a constant. The chick though, indeedly has to go…I hope theres a PotC 4 with Johnny Depth in it :)))
May 4th, 2008
Laura
When dealing with Will and Elizabeth I do think they should be pushed aside for a bit…Jack and Hector can go on their adventure meeting, recruiting, fighting new characters and supernatural phenominons making it seem like they have gotten away from Elizabeth and Will completely and then BAM—–> there is something that magicly connects them all…and because we have new characters the dynamics of everyone changes!
Hint: Curiously Dominic Scott Kay (POTC AWE) is not credited as William Turner the III, but just ‘young Will Turner’…do I smell time travel or is it just an accidant?????
May 6th, 2008
bethykins
i think that the new film would have 2 do with something about orlando and kiera’s characters and, of course, their son or why else would they introduce that character??? i agree that johnny Depp makes that movie, but dnt think other characters should be cut, just maybe see less of them!! as for the movies… I LOVED THEM ALL!!!!!
May 6th, 2008
Devin
I disagree with you on all but one aspect. The only thing I agree with you on is that Pirates 4 would be good if it focused alot more on Jack and Barbossa. But I 100% disagree with your views on the 2nd and 3rd movies. The 2nd movie deserves a hell of alot more credit than just “below mediocre” and the 3rd movie was pretty thrilling IMO. But then again we are all entitled to our opinions. I interpret some comments as that the last two POTC movies weren’t “Piraty” enough, but in the 3rd movie it hints that the 4th one will focus on The Fountain of Youth which if you know your history you know that its a little “piraty”, and now that Barbossa is back the enjoyable rivalry between Barbossa and Jack can begin again. I for one am looking forward to it.
May 6th, 2008
Courtney
I dont think that they should take the whole Will and Elisabeth sequence. I love all the fighting and wars and stuff but there has to be some romance with the familiar characters. Maybe the fountain of Youth could be found of the Island that Elisabeth is staying on b/c Will would never die, but Elisabeth would get older and older. that is how they could get Will and Elisabeth back in the story.
May 6th, 2008
Emily
U guys all suck!! Will and Elizabeth are the best part of the trilogy!!! The third one was the best in my opinion.. the 2nd one was @!*& tho.

i think the movie was awsome. it did not get worse. i think it got better. if any one really even paid atention to the movie. and that kiss was so butieful i think. i liked johnny depp the most. he is so clever and funny. who ever didn’t like the movie needs to watch it again. and i hope they come out with a 4th one.

Johnny Depp
I got that e-mail Pattie thank you for it too, but my e-mail should not be public. Anyways I can tell you some things that are happening in Pirates of the Caribbean 4. 1.It for sure would be called the fountain of youth.2.Will will not be in it.3.There will be lots of new charictars.4.Barbossa is sacrificing his life for Jack.5.Secrets are revealed and when i mean secrets i mean BIG secrets!.6.there will be only 4 and that will be the end. 7.Elizabeth will be in it. and 8.Beckett survives and returns to port royal and Elizabeth and her crew and Jack and his crew unexpectedly run into each other there and Beckett makes a deal with Elizabeth and the deal is…Ok Jack and Elizabeth fall in love… so Beckett tells Elizabeth to marry him or he will kill Jack… that’s all i have read in my script so far we star shooting soon and it will be a long movie so we start shooting soon so… I’ll update you if i read something really exiting in my script.

I am all for Jack and Barbossa in the next films. If the online game of the movie is anything to go by, this series has a huge fan base.
As for Will and Elizabeth, their story has only begun. They now have a son and because Calypso is the one who put Davy Jones in charge of the Flying Dutchman, its still unknown if she will release Will from his duty.
Surprisingly, none of the above posters mentioned this. There was a scene deleted from the movie where Calypso tells Davy Jones he could have been released from his duty.
The other deleted dialogue is the ending in the beach scene with Will and Elizabeth. There were a few key items they cut out. Pity
Unfortunately, the video of POTC 3 release in the deleted scenes SUCKED. I would truly hope someday they release all 3 movies and include all the deleted scenes.
In Lord of the Rings, they did this and made a fortune on the video’s.

Hi Guys I have only heard this recently through a mate who kind of knows Bruckheimer and basically bruckeimer is saying that there will most likley be a poc 4 but in the mean time he is focusing on other movies and that he is trying to sort out a bad boys 3 which is the last in the bad boys series so don’t expect so much about poc 4 yet coz we would be waiting till 2011 to 2014 for it to come out on the big screen hope this helps a little PEACE!

Johnny Depp
What do you mean i cant spell worth a shit?! that’s rude, but I like the attitude I was really bucky like that when I was a kid! I think kids should not be told what to do because they will grow up eventually and they should be free to do whatever, like in my movie Sweeney Todd, some of my biggest fans are kids, actually most of my fans is kids. And their parents wont let them see Sweeney Todd bacaue it’s rated R and i almost didnt want to do that movie because of it! But anyways the director said maybe Will might be in it and it might come out a little sooner than 2011 but he is not sure yet…

i agree wit shana and jenn give will and elizabeth their endin and hav da main focus on Jack and Barbossa

Ok i think that will and elizabeth should be in it cause in the third one it left you wonderin’ “wat will happen?” But i really hope they are n jack and barbossa are awesome. It is awesome when they fight!!!!!

Hey Have you guys heard about “The Secrate Files of the East India Trading company” book released by Disney?? I hear there are hints on Pirate 4 plots or sub-plots!
The Idea is that new character Thomas Faye of the EITC, who witnessed the final events of POTC AWE, are set to keep tabs of the characters…
It concludes with him going to Torgatuga explaining to the company about the Fountian of Youth and that Sparrow MUST be caught or killed if the want to control all of the ocean!

I think if its just going to be about Barbossa and Jack then there just wasting there time,becuase Will and Elizabeth are like one of there main charaters,they have been there since the beging of the frist movie.And it won’t be fun to watch just 2 people on the screen for 3 hours.I still like Jack and Barbossa, I mean think about it 3 hours 2 people its not going to be fun and swashbuckling exitment its going to be more like gay romance.
May 13th, 2008
jerry
seeing as knightly is “pirate king” she will have something to do with the fourth movie. blooms character however, does not NEED to return, but the fourth movies ending left some questioning. regardless the third movie was the second best in my opinion, and i kept falling asleep during the second one ^_^
May 13th, 2008
Allyssa
Okay first of all Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly have to return because they just left you hanging after the third movie. Second the first two movies didn’t seem to connect but the third one strung everything together…so whoever thought that the second and third movies got worse and worse should watch them again and maybe really pay attention to them this time. i have to say that the third one was definately my favourite and i can’t wait until the fourth one comes out. i think that the writer’s will do a good job again. i have a feeling that the next movie will be focused mainly on Jack and Brabossa, mainly because of what happened at the end of the third movie. i just can’t believe that i’m going to have to wait until 2011 to watch the next one. everyone is going to be so old!!!

Laura! I have that book about Thomas whatever Faye whatever…Anyways i have that book! i got it for christmas and i looked it over carefully and it was awesome and about the letter he has in the begining of the book… You are gonna see the young jack in the fourth movie for sure cause if you have the book you will see that it says all about when he was young and it will be called pirates of the caribbean the fountain of youth so that should be fun… and i think it also said soemthing else i cant remember but everything the “real johnny depp” up a couple pannels above said is wrong he is not the real johnny depp if it was it would probably look different…johnny depp is French…so anyways i will update you later

Dear Fellow Distinguished Sirs of the East India Trading Company:
I have recently seen and experienced horrors beyond belief. After having norrowly escaped a Malestorm I was Forced into hiding. but during this time of self-imposed sechusion, I have not shirked my duty to the Crown and, perhaps more important, to the Company
Enclosed in this dossier is all manner of information I have managed to compile on our sworn duties-the heinous, uncivilized Pirates of the Caribbean. Some points herein are drawn from firsthand accounts. Most are the product of rumor and hearsay, butregaurdless of whether or not I have verified my sources, I have included the information. After what I have seen, any disbelief concerning the legends of the Seven Seas that I once harboured has been vanquished
I can only hope that this vital information finds it’s way into your hands, the good and courageouse men of the East India Trading Company, and that you, in turn, can use it to mount a force capable of defeating the global Pirate scourge once and for all. We have lost the battle that terrible night of the Malestorm, but mark my words, we have not lost the war
Regards
Sir Thomas Faye
Privateer of the East India Trading Company

May 15th, 2008
johnny
Well if it was realeased sooner it probably wouldnt be much sooner because of the money situation and because it will take a long time to shoot, I mean the last one was almost three hours long and who knows, I think our director says it will be a little longer than three but you can never be too sure, we are going for movie of the year, so we want to get it perfect. Well I will try to find out for you.
May 16th, 2008

May 17th, 2008
johnny
Yes I would say Orlando and I are close friends, but all the things I said before about what’s happening in pirates 4, that was just a rough script so those things will not be in the movie. The Movie Pirates of the Caribbean 4, the pirates will be going to the fountain of youth, and you will see the young Jack Sparrow and you possibly will see the adventures he goes on as a young boy, he wasnt always like he is now, jack I mean, he used to be a little different, but not much as it says in the script, that’s just my opinion though, but anyways I will not be able to write on here not too long from now. I will be too busy with the movie, and once we start filming I cannot tell you anything else about the movie, so I hope that is what you were hoping to hear.

thats a really good point they made about elizabeth… because i neveer thought about this… well think about it, in the third movie everybody had their own story right, (will wanted to save his dad, jack wanted to live forever, barbossa wanted to release calypso..etx..) so…. WHAT WAS KEIRA KNIGHTLEYS PURPOSE?And dont gimme some crap like oh she wanted to save jack.. im all for pirates and all and i love elizabeth and what not but if you put i t that way then shes really not an important character.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 18th, 2008
johnny
Yes of course Will will be in it! The whole gang will be. Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, etc… but this movie is out of the ordinary, it will be much better then 1 2 and 3, but personally I did not like Piarates 2… I dont know why I just didnt like it… I think it’s because Jack is killed in the 2nd one
May 18th, 2008

I loved all of the movies and a 4th one would be brill. i dno if i cud wait til 2011 tho. We know its gona b about da fountain of youth but i dno what other evil characters they can include

I think I will like it if they just focous on Jack and Barbosa, because I mean let’s face it. Everyone loves Johnny Depp. But on the other hand I loved the romance that Keira and Orlando brought to the movie. So I am hoping that if they do end up making a sequel, they find some way to make up for the loss of Keira and Orlando and the romantic theme that they brought to the film.
May 18th, 2008
Rolando
Its funny cuz today on HBo they’re giving all 3 movies back to back all day long…..the first was definatly my favorite, the second sucked because it was leading up to the third so much it bombed in my opinion, and the third was really good……..but there was TOO MUCH ELIZABETH SWANN…….the movie took out too much of jack, barbossa, and will………a fourth would definatly have to be about the fountain of youth and how Will Turner doesnt age because he is immortal but jack or barbossa gives some of the fountains water to elizabeth so that they may stay alive forever………or even an old jack and an old barbossa chacing the fountain and jack is helped by will and elizabeths son…….so that baby will turner can give his mom immortality so she can see will forever……………idk this is just stuff i think is the most obvious due to how movies have been written in the last decade………..movies have gotten so predictable that i wouldnt doubt for the producers to go down this path which seems like the easier path becuz the other movies have already paved the way.
May 18th, 2008
Rolando
also anyone in the top comments………meaning the people who started this blog……..if you guys think the movie wont succeed, just think about all the little rocker kids and pirate freaks all over America. all these people are what makes this movie all its money………not only that they start the buzz on the street about how col the movie is gonna be……..i mean look at all the responses to the blog you posted…….the argument started off as “NO MORE PIRATES MOVIES” but as you read down this page you can see people dont talk about whether or not a fourth should be made or not but what the plot is gonna be, who is gonna be in the movie etc…………….”if it aint broke, dont fix it”………milk this movie for all its worth………..the second it starts to tank in the theatres you can come out with a animated series on disney channel and str8 to DVD movies about how will turner grew up with his mother wanting to become a pirate and all that other spin off crap lol
May 18th, 2008

You’re crazy in saying that the movies “got progressively worse”. If anything, they got better. Disney is laughing all the way to the bank with this franchise as well they should.
My only complaint about any of the movies is in World’s End when Will and Elizabeth got married in the middle of a battle, that was lame. Everything else has been nothing but brilliant.
Good luck to Disney and the Pirates franchise!!!

i loved all three parts they were awsome especially the 3rd one!!!! but i dont think that keira and orlando bloom should be taken out of part 4 or 5 if there is one. because they are the best part. and anyway will cant stay like that. i mean he stayed just like davy jones, elizabeth and will have to stay together and not a part. so i really think that they should not be taken out of any other Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Well I know but all I can say is that you get to see the young johnny depp and possibly the young other charictars but when I say POSSIBLY I mean maybe not for sure!

WHAT!!!!!!!!! I love all the pirate movies they were amazing. You are completley insane for thinking the movies were bad. I love the first second and third one If there is a forth one coming out you can bet your ass I will go to see it the day it comes out! Who ever wrote this is a terrible critic!!!

It could be a good film if it’s agreed all around that Will and Liz’ story is complete and done with. A 4th to open up the REAL story lines of Barbossa and Sparrow Would be interesting, include more of Keith Richards’ pirate and bring in Black Beard and/or some real ruffian plundering. It’d be fun to find out more of Barbossa and Jack’s relationship, How Jack became the infamous Jack Sparrow, and the storyline between him and his father and Bootstrap could be pretty wicked. The first three were good with the 1st and 3rd being the best of. This time without Will and Liz promoting Barbossa and Jack to Main Character positioning would make it way more fun. The fountain of youth could be a good idea if written right but lets hope they stay away from the Atlantis arcs, What the hell would a Pirate need/want from Atlantis anyway??

Oh sheesh! Now that I actually read the middle of this response section, I have to say this one of the funniest and most ridiculous things I’ve read all year. You know, I remember not too long ago, maybe 10-12 years or so, There actually used to be a decent percentage of intelligent people. I am now pretty sure that percentage has dropped to nearly 9%. And I had been truly hoping that when I finally lost all hope in the general public it’d have been in a more interesting and at least a more important place, definitely not in reading an internet response section of a POTC sequel. OhCrap! and what does this say about me?!

JOVI! Thanks for the info! I was wondering if it would go down that path…also I had this bizzar idea….at the end of AT WORLD’S END it seems like the boy is Will and Elisabeths son (played by Dominic Scott Kay), but the credits title the actor as ‘Young Will Turner’ and not ‘Young William Turner III’ …I just thought that was odd…and if I were going to write a few more installments I could defenatly see something like the young Will has to meet the Captian Dutchman Will on land after the first ten yrs in order to break the curse…like rekindeling his spirit or something…and it’s not like early reports haven’t said this could more ‘Jules Verne’-like! Maybe they just generalized the young actors title, but after watching shows like LOST I have become a rather suspicious person when thinking about plots of films and books! Thanks agian for the info…seeing young Jack would also be very kewl!

I would love to see a fourth Pirates, but I would like to see some love interest in the movie between Bloom and Knightly. I realize that it shows the “ending” but what about after the credits in the third movie when Bloom comes back to find out he has a son? I do enjoy watching Depp. I believe his character adds a great comic relief. I’m all for a fourth!!!!

I would also like to see a POTC4 but place the story around the beginning with Calypso and Davy Jones their journey. Or add more regarding Sparrows father Captain Teagues. You kinda see how Sparrow got his cookiness from. I would love to know the deal behind Barbosa and Sparrow too. Hell just do the movie lol

OK the 2nd and 3rd werent horrible, hard to follow at times, but not shit as u so put it. They Could make a Killing on the 4th! Say Elizbeth Dies, baby Will becomes a Pirate, Barbossa And Jack Fight over the Fountain of Youth, and they need The Duthchman’s Help!!! There are plenty of ways they can spin it but TO MAKE A GREAT MOVIE drop Swan and Leave Will Out!!! Barbossa And Jack made all 3 movies!!!
BUT I heard they’re making 7of em so like it or not Pirates are here to stay!
