Captain Jack fans unite!!! POTC 4 in the works!

[EpcotMatt2]

I was always under the impression that if any more were made after Pirates 3, that they'd be an entirely new storyline. Like a second Trilogy. I'm expecting neither Will nor Elizabeth nor their child to be part of #4. We'll see.

 

[Luv2Roam]

Loved all three. Although the first was the favorite. The second really set up the storyline and created a lot of anticipation.
I would certainly see and buy the 4th. Just hope it lives up to the other three.
I always wanted to see what happened to Jack in FL adventures.

I mentioned in another post that maybe since Captain Jack has a map to the Fountain of Youth, he finds it in order for Elizabeth to live for a long time to see Will every 10 years.

I hope not I am DONE with those two characters...

Considering the screenwriters have said that the curse is broken after 10 years and Will thus goes back and lives with Elizabeth, that seems unnecssary.

Which yeilds a perfect example of what is wrong with Pirates 3. The screen writers had to explain their terrible plot, because it wasn't evident in the movie.

Oh, I thought Will was to captain the ship forever, only to be allowed 1 day on shore every 10 years.

That was my understanding as well...

 

[Maistre Gracey]

Has there been any formal announcement that POTC 4 will be made, or is this just internet rumor?

MG- Depp's agency confirmed that he signed up for the role, however, there has not been any other formal announcement made by Disney or anyone else for that matter. http://www.inentertainment.co.uk/20080925/pirates-of-the-caribbean-4-confirmed-only-depp-signs-up/

Each article cites his rep as the source.

Nope. At least, not according to the screen writers.
And in fact when Davy Jone's deal with Calypso is explained, it was pointed out that had she remained faithful, his service would have been done as well and Calypso would find a new captain for the Dutchman.

Again, the plot was convoluted and dumb and this key portion of the resolution of the plot is only available as an explination from the writers on their website.

This is what I thought too. Wasn't this explained by Calypso?
Amazing how Elizabeth didn't age in 10 years...

I hope not I am DONE with those two characters...

Agreed. I honestly didn't care what happened with them.

I looked at the insert in my POTC 3 movie and it had Pirate Secrets Revealed
Top Questions Moviegoers Had about POTC 3.

Q. What does the future hold for Will and Elizabeth? Now that he's captain of the Flying Dutchman, is she going to wait for him?

A. True love never dies, but their story is yet to be told.


Q. Since Will honored his destiny on the Flying Dutchman, in 10 years does he get to return to land for good, thereby freeing his father and crew?

A. Every 10 years, Will may step on land for one day. He is bound to the Flying Dutchman FOREVER.

Well then, the Screen writers and the DVD insert writers disagreed. Not helping eithers case here.

 

[POTCaddictnumero2]

nobody seems excited for it but whatever I am!

there is going to be five Jerry Bruckheimer has them all planned out I geuss nobody paid attention to that? LOL well I cant wait for it.

 

[YoHo]

Yes well, you'll pardon me if I don't get particularly excited for Jerry Bruckheimer's plans.

 

[mom2aredhead]

I have been a long time JD fan, so Captain Jack isn't even my favorite role of his (albeit it is in my top 3 )

I completely agree. My favorite Johnny Depp role (don't laugh) - probably Chocolat. And I loved all 3 movies, but POTC3 was just so confusing with so many plots, I'm hoping they learned their lesson and simplify it, focusing more on Jack.

 

[DisFlan]

I LOVED POTC 1 and enjoyed 2 and 3. They were ALL fun. I'd watch JD in just about anything. Put him in his Cap'n Jack outfit and I'm there.

MMMMMMMM....Roux

ITA about PotC 3! Lets get back to the HILARIOUS rivalry between Jack and Barbossa and away from the mythological references.

 

[disneykid4ever]

Love Capt. Jack and can't wait to see what he gets into next!! I would be at the theater on opening day to see POTC 4!

 

[MJMcBride]

Your pardoned, for now

I am more interested in a Lone Ranger concept myself. I'm thinkin' the POTC has kind of run its course. Perhaps a Young Jack Sparrow cartoon is the way to keep it alive at this point. You know, for the kiddie scallywags and all
