Just before the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was released; Disney announced two more pirate movies: Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Disney has set its plans to shoot the 5th and 6th movies back to back. Obviously, Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Walt Disney Pictures find great advantages in shooting their films in this manner.
As early as January 14, 2011, Terry Rossio was confirmed to be the screenwriter. However, he will no longer work with his former partner Ted Elliot. Johnny Depp never loses his enthusiasm to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow. In an interview, he said that he is willing to play the role as long as the movie remains popular to the public. If the creators can put all the pieces together, Depp is most likely to consider returning.
Producer Bruckheimer said that Pirates of the Caribbean 6 will be a standalone like the fourth movie. Deviating from the main storyline opens the film to a new plot and a new set of characters. Screenwriter Rossio, on the other hand, said that the script for the fifth movie is finished and is now on the hands of Disney executives. This development eventually leads to the completion of the 6th Pirates of the Caribbean.
Rob Marshall worked in 4th movie. Disney is hoping to work with several directors such as Chris Weitz, Shawn Levy, Alfonso Cuaron, Sam Raimi, and Tim Burton. You might have already guessed correctly that the producers' top choices are Verbinski and Burton because they have already worked with Depp on many occasions. Depp signed on the deal on July 6, 2011. In addition, Orlando Bloom said that he would love to return should he receive an offer.
The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is among the highest grossing film series. The series has earned more than $3.7 billion.
Specific details about the new cast remains unknown so be sure to check for news and updates. Its trailer will be available before you know it. The release date for Pirates of the Caribbean 5 has no specific month and day but it is sure that it will hit the theaters in 2013. Who knows, the 6th Pirates of the Caribbean may be released in the same year. Remember, they are shooting the 5th and 6th movies back to back. They may finish two films at once.
In the mean time, wait for updates on so that you do not get left behind. You will surely have another swashbuckling adventure with these two upcoming films as Captain Jack Sparrow will again entertain you with his unpredictable strategies. Watch out for Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6 and be amazed.
