POTC 4 aiming for 2012 release

[Dr. Zeppers]

Well, there are many rumors surrounding POTC4.
I have read articles eluding to it being set in the future, with space "ships".

The fan theory was when hearing this, that Jack gets to the Fountain of Youth, lives forever, and well... starts sailing the starry skies.

This was supposed to be some mechanism to launch yet another story franchise by Disney.. wish i could find that article now.. grrr

Hmmm. Can't say I love that idea right off the bat, but who knows.

Whatever they end up doing with it I'll be there with money in hand and bells on to see it, that's for sure.

[anndreeuhh]

I'm not too sure I love that idea either.
But I'd be willing to go see Captain Jack again space sailing or not.

I remember that movie, it seemed hard for Depp to sit still.

3 years wow!
I guess I'm just glad there making another one.
and Ukebec cgi didn't ruin pirates three, i thought the maelstrom was a great scene and only added to the movie.

Wow - I'm interested to know that piratefan71495! Although I didn't thiink it ruined the picture, I did think it detracted. But hey! As long as people were happy, that's cool! We might be of a different generation, or simply have different tastes. I lean more towards charactarization and story-line than special effects. But, then again, I'm a sucker for all 6 Star Wars movies...so there ya go. But I hear you piratefan...you liked the Malestrom scene, so that's good. If it added to your enjoyment of the movie it worked for you.

Everyone takes away something different from a movie. That's what makes them so interesting. We're all seeing the same thing, but, because of our life experiences, or expectations, we each take something different with us out of the theater.

K dude- I luv ya but I gotta disagree on this one.

YES. His films with Tim Burton do have a look and feel that is growing WAY long in the tooth.

Short point of reference...Tim and Helena are not actually "man and wife".

But yes...I get your point. Since Edward Scissorhands all of the Burton/Depp collaborations have included Johnny in some Kabuki-like make-up, being all broody and navel-contemplating.

However...Depp has done a great deal more acting than collaborations with Tim Burton since Sleepy Hollow.

In the meantime he did quite a few independent films, but also some mainstream roles...Chocolat, Blow, Finding Neverland and Secret Window to name a few. His acting in these roles was far and away a departure from the work he does with Tim Burton.

Yes, I'm an unabashed Johnny Depp fan, but I will say that I believe him to be one of the most talented actors of his generation. He goes out on an acting limbs to bring nuances to performances that wouldn't have been conceived otherwise...i.e.: Captain Jack. Nobody, Disney foremost, had visualized a flitty, fey, drunken, ambiguous hero for their movies. He conceptualised an epic character, that I think few, if any, actors could have conceived of, and made him the anti-hero for the ages. I think someone must be hard-hearted indeed not to warm to Captain Jack and root him on in his endeavors.

So, that's me two cents mate. I don't think you can lump Depp's acting together with his Burton collaborations and call it a day. I believe there's much more to him than that.

luv ya back, but..
he's a great actor yes, but the burton movies are getting repetitive. i'm saying that he can do a lot better. we can agree that his highlight was "the pearl".

and Tim and Helena got married during Big Fish. They even have the same hair-do.

Depp is near that point that of being known forever as Jack Sparrow. Which can be a bad thing. Take Sir Alec Guinness forever known as Ben Kenobi. Nobody remembers his role in The Bridge over River Kwai.

Finally someone to discuss movies.

Cant wait for this movie to come out. It's now set to be released in 2011 not 2012 as stated before. AWESOME!
