Pirates of the Caribbean: The Fountain of Youth?

There's been talk about a fourth Pirates movie. I think it's a great idea!

What say you?

Here's what I know, and what I think:
1) If it does happen it won't even start shooting, let alone be written, until 2009, if they want to keep the original production team intact. Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer have both said filming the first three was exhausting, and I doubt they'd be ready to jump back in.
2) Keira Knightly won't be in any more of the movies, which likely means they'll consider the story of Elizabeth and Will over.
3) Johnny Depp has said he'll play Jack Sparrow again if the script is good. If they want a good script they need to get Ted and Terry to write it again, since they are the ones most familiar with it. With the current writer's strike, unless they've already started it (which is unlikely, because the news of it being greenlit would have already been announced by now), they won't be starting for some time. Once again, likely around 2009.
4) There's been no word at all if there is another movie in the works. Since this a huge franchise, it is likely that if it had been greenlit, it would have been reported by now. To start speculating on what the plot or who is going to be involved in it is premature at best.

I think the next Pirates would be easier to make, as it would be free of the story arc from the original trilogy. The Fountain of Youth thing is shaping up to be good, clean, pirate fun.

Will's and Elizabeth's story ended with At World's End, so I don't think that would be a problem.

Johnny certainly wants another go, but yes, the blasted writer's strike is messing everything up.

^Well, yes, but that news is six months old. I don't doubt that there will be another addition to the franchise, but if it is a spin-off, I doubt it would follow the Fountain of Youth story, since that was set up to a be a story that Jack Sparrow would be a part in. That article refers to the idea the spin-off with its own storyline is possible. The franchise is too much of a cash cow to be left where it is, but if a spin-off would likely only be a Disney film, perhaps produced by Bruckheimer, and likely that would be as far as the similarities expand in terms of cast and crew. I probably wouldn't be too into that...I'd go see it, but I'd complain the whole time.

I think they're just taking a long, well-deserved break from making the previous Pirate films, and I'm sure they'll do one with Jack Sparrow. Like you said, if they have anything right now, it's in Development Hell because of the writer's strike.

Yes!! I've been recovering from surgery here at home so I've been watching alot of movies, and last week I watched all Pirates films and wheen I was done.. a great saddness came over me of "that's it... there's no more.."
so yes i hope it does happen as long as its good and they have most of the original actors (and if htey dont that they dont replace them.) if you cant have the original acter, cut the character from the script!
