Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

[Symbiotic]

I'm not sure if this is the first confirmation, but in Coming Soon's article about Zimmer scoring Superman, it mentions he's back for OST.

Anyone see that Yahoo article where Stewart Beattie mentioned how Jack Sparrow was originally written for....Hugh Jackman?

In fact, that's why the characters name is Jack.

EDIT: http://blog.movies.yahoo.com/blog/210-what-if-hugh-jackman-had-been-jack-sparrow

Glad that never happened. Can't imagine it at all...yuck.

Can't wait for the trailer

This movie is really more like a true pirates 3. Dead Man's Chest and At World's End share the same identity, and are more like one long movie split in half.

Tomorrow, ET will show an exclusive behind the scenes look at POT4. They showed a bit of their visit during the preview for tomorrow nights episode. They showed Jack Sparrow on top of a carriage, Blackbeard and Penelope Cruz in a jungle, Sparrow talking to a few pirates about finding the fountain of Youth, and random shots of pirates fighting aboard a ship

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I'm not sure if this is the first confirmation, but in Coming Soon's article about Zimmer scoring Superman, it mentions he's back for OST.

He'll have quite the busy slate then. I won't lie, I wasn't a fan of the 3rd POTC movie, but I am quite looking forward to this one. Let's hope it delivers.

Hugh Jackman as Sparrow?? can't really see it to be honest, but i could see Jackman playing another pirate. he actually would have been a pretty good Blackbeard

 

[flickchick85]

Zimmer's score for At World's End was my favorite score of the series. It was great - waaay better than the actual movie, imo. Nice to hear he'll be back. And of course he'll have a busy slate! He's been one of the busiest composers in Hollywood for like 20 years now. I'd say he averages about 4 movies a year + a bunch of little side projects.

A diamond in the rough. The strings in "At Wit's End" get me every time.

I can kinda see him as more of a barbosa type.

 

[scatterax]

Does anybody else think it would be weird, yet interesting to have Hook in one of these movies?

would have been pretty cool to be honest. a great little homage to Disney's classic Peter Pan

 

[scatterax]

Plus with davey jones and blackbeard as villains it wouldn't be much of a stretch at all. but i can see him working equally well in a cameo type roll or a lead villain roll.

What I'm wondering is if they'd ever bring in Long John Silver.

"One Day" is his masterpiece in Pirates to me...

 

[Avengers-Report]

I really wish they did that. I don't see why they couldn't implement him into these films. Hook was always my favorite =]

 

[ALP]

I love Hook but I do feel he belongs in Peter Pan.

Long John Silver would be excellent though.

Are they going to do Pirates 5 and 6 as well? Maybe it a full two trilogy thing.

 

[Boom]

Want... footage... of McShane... as Blackbeard...

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I wouldn't mind seeing Jackman has a badass Barbossa type pirate.

 

[xmenfilesfan05]

I want to see the damned mermaids already.

 

[Boom]

The ET footage was alright. They talked about Cruz as Angelica, but didn't say a damn thing about Ian McShane as Blackbeard . Oh well. At least we got a few brief glimpses of him.

There was also a brief scene with Rush, which was awesome.

 

[Bim]

I found it annoying how they kept cutting away and coming back though... why couldnt they just show the whole thing

 

[scatterax]

yeah, that's his main story, but I don't see why he can't run across jack sparrow for one chapter in his life. lol. Actually I wouldn't mind him as just a supporting roll. maybe not a main villain, but like an old boyhood rival, or somebody jack has to make a deal with to get what he wants, or both. there are pretty much endless ways to use that character in this series.

 

[batman11]

"One Day" is his masterpiece in Pirates to me...

Mine too actually.

(I'm not quite sure why I failed to mention it ahead of "At Wit's End"...must've been too tired. Or insane. t

Disney Reportedly Plans to Shoot 5th and 6th ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Films Back to Back
Posted on Friday, December 3rd, 2010 by Russ Fischer

If you were hoping to see Johnny Depp in anything but mainstream fare for the next couple years, this might be the time to store that dream away for a while. The actor is finishing Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, then will make Dark Shadows and The Lone Ranger. And after those, it looks like he could stay in the Disney fold. There’s a report that the studio wants to make fifth and sixth Pirates of the Caribbean films, and plans to shoot them back to back.

HitFix reports the news. There are a lot of questions about how and when these films would proceed. We likely won’t hear anything about a director until this fourth film opens next year. Would Rob Marshall be willing to work for another couple years on the series? We don’t know who will write. Will Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, writers of the four films, return as well? And as was the case with the fourth film, might some external material might be used to kick start the stories? (In this case it was the Tim Powers novel about Blackbeard.)

And, other than Johnny Depp we don’t know anything about a returning cast. In fact, at this point we’re assuming that he’ll be back, because Captain Jack Sparrow is the focal point for these films, so making two more Pirates movies without Depp seems like a very unlikely thing, indeed.

But Drew at HitFix offers this sentence, which suggests we might see more Pirates sooner rather than later, and that a chunk of the Pirates 4 cast will be back: “Disney has begun quietly telling cast and crew to set aside a major block of time in the very near future.”

We don’t even have any idea how this fourth film plays, but this move by Disney suggests confidence that it can be sold to an audience, at the very least. (We’ll see the first trailer for On Stranger Tides on Monday Dec 13.) Hopefully there’s a movie in there to match the first Pirates, which remains a fun character-based adventure. After the first film was successful a plan to make two more was quickly put in place, and to my mind those sequels weren’t up to snuff. If Disney is really going down the road for two more Pirates films, let’s hope the studio has learned something from the quality of those movies, and hasn’t just taken cues from the box office returns.

What will this do to some of the smaller films to which Depp has been attached, such as the Pancho Villa film Emir Kusturica planned to shoot in 2011? Or the new version of The Thin Man, which Rob Marshall could direct? Too bad that latter one is set up at Warner Bros. rather than Disney; if it was Disney one might at least envision a scenario where the studio let that go forward as a breather before the Pirates movies set sail once more.

Disney hasn't learned their lesson from Pirates 2 & 3.

 

[ALP]

Learn WHAT lesson? That Pirates 2 made over $1 BILLION in theaters? And Pirates 3 made $900 Million? Silly rashad...they do not give a single stink about sacraficing quality.

I do hope they are good though. If anything, I feel making the pirate films in a 'saga' is what hurt them. Which is why I am glad Will and wife are not returning. I think Pirates work best as single installments, each one a new adventure like Indiana Jones instead of a saga that fits together like lotr or hp.
