And the discussion continues.

Yeah, Melika you are probably right about the title. Nothing will be what it seems. Although that is kind of cool.

Melissa Ann

Thanks Kelli!

I edited the OP to reflect my name change on the credit for the banner.

When more information and cast is divulged, I'm sure discussions will be more intriguing!

InitialSwitch

Thanks Melika! My first time to do it.

This movie has had a lot of pre-production press, so I'm hoping we'll get to hear a little more than the average movie.

As a Rolling Stone fan I wouldn't mind if Keith Richards wanted to make another apperance either.

Melissa Ann

^^ Keith Richards as a pirate came so naturally to him!

InitialSwitch

Yes it did. The fact Johnny knew that is what makes me love Jack Sparrow even more.

Melissa Ann

Yeah I remember Johnny mentioned in an interview a few times how he based Jack Sparrow on Keith's mannerisms.

One Love

^I remember that. I thought he said that it was a mix between Keith Richards and Pepe Le pew or something. But it was brilliant though.

Johnny Depp Sets Sail on Fourth 'Pirates' Movie

Captain Jack Sparrow will soon take to the seas again, and this time he is after the most sought-after treasure imaginable: the Fountain of Youth.

It was announced this week that the fourth installment of Disney's highly successful "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise will begin filming in Hawaii this summer. Johnny Depp once again plays the flamboyant Captain Jack, and Geoffrey Rush reprises his role as his adversary, Barbossa. However, costars Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are not expected to return.

The film's story is loosely based on the 1987 pirate novel, "On Stranger Tides" by award-winning fantasy author Tim Powers. The book tells the story of a young man -- coincidentally named "Jack" -- who is captured by the pirate Blackbeard and forced to join in the search for the Fountain of Youth.

Ted Elliott, the co-writer of the first three "Pirates" movies, said that the story of the novel just happened to align with where they wanted to take the fourth film. He told Empire magazine, "We wanted to do a story about Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth, and Tim Powers wrote a book about Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth... it just turns out that to do that story you would need that book."

Johnny Depp signed on to appear in the fourth movie in 2008, before there was a script. It was announced at the same time he would also be playing Tonto in a film version of "The Lone Ranger," but that project has been delayed until after "Pirates" is finished.

Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom have both said they had no desire to return for a fourth movie. Knightley said in an interview, "It was a completely fantastic experience, and it was an amazingly large portion of my life, but I don't think I need to go there again. I think that it's done." Also, the director of the original trilogy, Gore Verbinski, will not be coming back. He is being replaced by Rob Marshall, the director of "Chicago" and "Nine."

"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is scheduled to dock into movie theaters on May 20th, 2011. Johnny Depp will next be seen as the Mad Hatter in director Tim Burton's new version "Alice in Wonderland" coming this March.

Melissa Ann

I remember that too!

Thanks for that article Kelly! I think the POTC 4 will be better than most think, but seeing has how the third was sort of a disappointment, I think the expectations are low at the moment.

InitialSwitch

This will certainly work in its favor, but I think you're right in that it will be better than most people think. It is certainly a hope.

Melissa Ann

Well the idea of Sparrow and Barbossa teaming up on the same side is what intrigues me.

InitialSwitch

That should make it fun and something we haven't really had a chance to see.

And, since they no longer have to split the focus with Will and Elizabeth, hopefully those two great characters will get more screen and story time.

Melissa Ann

You mean Jack and Barbossa?

I agree, they are two of my favourite characters.
