Awesome! Depp is one of my favorite actors and just the thought of POTC 4 is just amazing....
I wonder how they would pull it off without all the major characters though.

[Dr. Zeppers]

That will so cool..

Obviously love the idea of a Pirates 4.

I cant wait to see him play the Mad Hatter!!! Such a great role for Depp!

POTC4 OMG OMG ( Swash screams like girl ) I Gotta see This.

good times!! I think depp is just trying to get his name on a window in main street lol! Good to see him with more disney projects! Not sure if we will "see" him as the hatter, from what I have read in other articles it is supposed to be a fully animated feature but with some kind of new 3d technology! I have been wrong in the past so don't quote me. Should be fun to see him as Tonto though

Our source says that Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is no longer just a possibility, it’s almost a certainty. More importantly, Johnny Depp is all but assured to return, though our scooper claims he may end up making as much as $35 - $40 million to do it. Also returning will be Geoffrey Rush and Gore Verbinski as director, but forget about the rest of the cast because from now on the movies will only be about Captain Jack.

That’s right, Pirates 4 will cast aside Will and Elizabeth to make it an all Jack Sparrow movie. That won’t be the only change Disney is planning to make when the series continues though. Our scooper says, “the ending of Pirates 3, the fountain of youth story might not be the only story they might used the next pirate’s film. The fountain story could used in another form to introduce the story for Pirates 4… the next film might be a departure from the same formula of the last three movies as well, meaning that Jerry Bruckheimer could be planning to enter the realm of Science Fiction this time around and it could be the heart of a new trilogy with Jack Sparrow and his crew of misfits. Some of the brainstorming going around involves some Jules Verne type of scenarios involving some pretty big flying machines, a man who wants to rule more than just the ocean, a encounter with the most famous and dangerous pirate of all, a race to get to a lost world (Hint, Hint) and Jack and his crew going to where no pirate has gone before (No, its not space but Disney had made animated movie about this place before with Michel J Fox voicing one of the characters).”

Pirates science fiction? What the heck? The Michael J. Fox movie our source is referring to is almost certainly Atlantis, which would tie in the Jules Verne and science fiction elements mentioned. Apparently we’ll also get more of Jack’s past and his family, which could also mean more Keith Richards. I’d actually be ok with that, Keith was surprisingly good.

Don’t get too attached to the idea of another Pirates of the Caribbean sequel though. Our insider thinks that Disney plans to take a long, long breather between Pirates movies: “word is that the start date could be around 2009 to 2011.” I don’t think we need another Pirates sequel, but if they’re going to do one, giving the franchise time to recharge is probably a very good idea.

I must say, I was hoping for a continuation of the current story arc's, not the inclusion of an underwater flux capacitor.

WAHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YES I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT ok its out i just cant wait i wonder when disney is planning on realsing it?

[Stormhawk]

WOOT!!!This is gonna be great. Hopefully Keira and Orlando return too. I would miss the interactions between Will and Jack.

[Dr. Zeppers]

Looks like thats not in the cards (continuation of the current story line).

Where did that article come from Chris?

[Chris]

Some site i cant post a like to because it contains r rated movies as well.

[alana stormbreaker]

I'm not too fussed about losing Will and Elizabeth... Elizabeth annoyed the heck out of me in the last movie... Jack was the only reason I kept watching, so a movie with him as the main character is fine with me

I like to see Jack visiting the royal family as they 'hire' him to pirate their enemies...

[MacIronhawk]

I can't wait to see it!
But you all know what this means right?
It means that more should be comnig to the game!
Well it seems it's good in two ways.

[Mr.LoveLocket]

I can't wait!
