It seems that there's going to be a Pirates of the Caribbean 5, after all, and I'm not sure if I'm to be happy or annoyed by it (annoyed mainly because once Hollywood sees that people like a franchise, they try and do their best to squeeze all the money out of fans, usually with unnecessary sequels which rarely live up to their predecessors).
The word is that Disney Pictures is now planning to film the fifth installment in Puerto Rico – instead of where they normally shoot, in Hawaii – and that production is looking to gear up in November.
According to Caribbean Business PR, the studio chose Puerto Rico as the new location for filming due to the country's “aggressive incentives” they employed in order to bring Hollywood to the island.
The fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which doesn't have a title yet, will be the biggest production held in the country. Parts of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides were filmed there, but almost all of the franchise has been shot on the islands of Hawaii.
As you have probably guessed, Johnny Depp will be coming back as Captain Jack Sparrow, and while no director has been hired yet, Terry Rossio has been working on a script. In 2011, around the time On Stranger Tides was released, Depp said that he would be in for a fifth movie, but hoped that the studio would take its time with the franchise and make it “special.”
If all this is true and Disney does plan to go with it, here's to hoping that they have a really good plan.
Would you like to see more of Captain Jack on the big screen?
Hell yeah!
POTC ended when Bloom and Knightly refused to do it. I saw On Stranger Tides on TV and I understand why the 2 leads did it: On Stranger Tides is the lowest quality degrading trash. It made money on the previous glory of the original POTC trilogy and the lack of the movies of its genre/big budget in general. Depp proved once again that he can’t carry a movie on his own. I was a POTC fan for years but because of Will Turner. I liked the characters of Elizabeth, Norrington, Barbossa. I never liked Sparrow because he is an egoistic coward and I honestly think it’s wrong for Disney to promote this type of character so aggressively. Also, he is predictable and that makes him boring to me. Depp is playing the same “Depp” over and over again. He relies too much on his tons of makeup and grimaces. The really strong acting is about something else. Granted, he has the biggest organized PR campaign and no member of the POTC cast had with these movies. I guess that’s telling enough about how concerned the prods were about Depp’s “selling power.” Considering his poor Box Office performance practically in everything that was not Pirates (I’m not talking about his paycheck that is too big for his acting efforts in my opinion but about the BO for the movies he was in).
Alice did well but it would’ve had even if Depp wasn’t there. The book is famous worldwide and the constant deficit of the big family movies is a good base for the big $$ ticket sales. Sadly Alice turned as a trash in quality but I digress.
The original POTC were strong firstly by its cast/main characters, even when the script was as bad as it was in POTC3. On Stranger Tides had the script that managed to reach the worst possible level (it felt like “IQ is totally unnecessary” was the main “motto” of this movie for the script writers and the prods). It had no interesting cast aside of Rush (and they ruined his character too trying to make him look weaker than Depp. Never worked, btw), the directing was from the person that is clearly NOT an action adventure/pirate movie director. Overall, On Stranger Tides was weak in all departments. Sparrow behaved OOC and Depp’s monochromatic performance switched in pace from boring to annoying. To be fair even this was not as bad as the worst casting decision for such movies called Penelope Cruz. Whatever she was doing on screen barely cold be called “acting” even in our local school theatre.
Anyway, unless they are making the new movie about Will Turner played by Orlando Bloom (and I’m not talking about cameos) I’m not interested watching this new film.
Yeah but you also have to realize, they’re basing off the books not an original story. They’re based off the books not an original idea…that’s why they were taken out for the fourth movie…they have to remain somewhat loyal to the books
Yes Captain Jack all the way…I will never tire of him.
By the way they do not usually film in Hawaii. The first 3 were filmed in the Caribbean…please do your research.
Actually the majority of them were filmed in California at Universal City Plaza and the Bahamas…the 3rd one was filmed in Hawaii…the rest were at universal in california and the bahamas, but mostly California
the story behind pirates of the carribean is not done yet, you can blame hollywood for making this much sequals but there are atleast 2 more films to be made for the story to be complete.
so if you do not know what you are talking about, please stfu and read some books.
