Scoop: Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 Details

By Josh Tyler: 2007-06-20 00:24:02

Scoop: Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 Details Some franchises just don’t know when to quit. Whether or not people are getting sick and tired of the whole Pirates of the Caribbean thing, when a franchise makes that much money, it’s hard to let it die. We’ve been hearing rumblings about a possible fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie for months now, but tonight I got an email from the old friend of the site which not only confirmed a fourth movie will almost certainly be happening, but dropped details on where the series may end up going when it continues.

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.

As always, consider everything above as nothing but rumor till something more develops. Our source is a proven one, but if we can’t give you our source, then consider anything we tell you as unconfirmed gossip.

  1. Britany Says:

    Will and Elizabeth should be in it b/c she would hav aged ten years and he didn't so it makes sense for at least her to be searching for it with her son. THank God at least Sparrow will be in it so we all know it will be a hit!!!

  1. Anna Says:

    We need a Pirates 4 althought they may not do one!!!

  1. Julia Says:

    Capt. Jack was funny the first time. It got corny in the second movie and I wouldn't have missed him in the third to be honest. Sounds like a bad idea to me, but I'm sure people will disagree.

  1. Bronte Says:

    Well, at least there's a bit of truth to all the rumors! I just hope that they give us a bit of back story for BOTH Barbossa and Jack Sparrow; they did enough hinting of that kind of stuff in "Dead Man's Chest"!!

  1. Jamie Says:

    oh my gosh if will and elizabeth are not in the movie there is no reason for the making of the new movie. i think that alot of the orlando bloom fans and keira knightly fans will be upset and dissapointed.

  1. ashley Says:

    I cant believe this Will and Elizabeth must be in it!!!! I mean in the third movie Will got stabbed!!! Now he has a family!!! Everyone wants to see how Will and Elizabeth survive w/ out eachother in the fourth!!! And every one loves orli!!!

  1. Karis Says:

    Im agree with some of you I think taking out Will and Elizabeth Its not only horrible, the story will be incomplete besides I think that most of the fans of POTC are Orlando's fans too and it would be dissapointing not to see this gougeous man in the next movies.

  1. May Says:

    For me POTC always meant Johnny, Orlando, & Keira together, so it's sad that Orlando & Keira won't be on board anymore, but you never know.

  1. Mirella Says:

    YAY! NO MORE WILL AND ELIZABETH! Frankly, the girl is the biggest Mary-Sue since Jean Grey. And while Will has grown on me (like fungus), I won't miss him that much... specially if Barbossa is still there :P

  1. Telcontar Rulz Says:

    If Will and Elizabeth are not on board, then the movies will have lost half their appeal. It's just not as cool without those two coz Will is really the only one gullible enough to fall for Jack's tricks and Elizabeth lecturing Jack about morals is funny. Now there will be no one for the dear captain to play tricks on and no one to tell him off. *sobs*

  1. Kanaru Says:

    Bring back Norrington!>(

  1. ~LadyNight~ Says:

    I think Orlando and Kiera should be in the 4th movie, it won't be the same without them. I like Jack a lot but the three of them make the films and the trilogy's. If they are not all there. Then whats the point of having a fourth film.

  1. Shley Says:

    I agree 100% with Mirella!
    Though Will (Orlando) was completely gorgeous in the last installment..(with the bandana) ^_^,
    His character, along with Elizabeth's has been summed up nicely.
    It was a sad ending for the couple..
    but the Pirate movies are all about Cpt. Jack!
    Plus, the two leaving us could work on their acting a bit...
    I LOVE Johnny Depp and his wonderfully drunken character, Jack!
    ;P

  1. iluvwill Says:

    OMG this sounds so stupid! Pirates 4 without will or elizabeth? I love Jack, but I must be one of the biggest pirates of the caribbean fans, and I'm so disappointed. Maybe it has some potential to be good, but what's up with flying machines!? No way. Pirates of the caribbean is about PIRATES. Not the future. I hope the 'plot' will have some serious changes if they decide to make it. And will and elizabeth better come back or I'll die!!!

  1. Melissa Says:

    This is great news if they will do a number 4 but I will truly be sad if Will and Elizabeth are not in it. They have been a big part of the storyline and I feel like Jack could find the Fountain of Youth to help Will! :(

  1. anromana Says:

    Hi, Josh! Any ideas about where the pre-production is going on?

  1. Killer Says:

    I would like to see a prequel showing Jack & Barbossa's back story - they are the 2 best characters in the film and play off each other very well. I don't want more CGI or science fiction, e.g., Atlantis, flying machines. Use the millions they would save from not having expensive special effects to get great writers, actors, director and enough time to do a good job. They should stick with what was good about POTC1 - the only definitely science fictional elements were the skeletons, I think. Maybe they're into flying machines because Verbinski is sick of water pix; if so, then get somebody else - he obviously either can't edit well or doesn't have time to edit well. If he's reluctant, it won't be good. Same for the writers - maybe we need new blood or old blood (Wolpert & Beatty from POTC1). Will - Eliz - Jack made a good love triangle, but that's over now with POTC3. Bring back McNalley, Hollander, Davenport if they're willing. These stories could be great if greed doesn't ruin them (if it hasn't already).

  1. kayla Says:

    OMG!A pOTC film with out Will and Elizabeth is like making a movie with no words.I love Jack Sprrow and all but they need to reviel what happends to them.I mean like Will got stabbed and isnow the captian of the Flying dutchman but at least say what happend to Elizabeth I dont think a Pirates movie without Will and Elizabeth wont be any good.

  1. Hollie Says:

    that just cant cut out elizabeth and will u saw will bein stabbed than becomin immortal then 10 years later with a son you cant just leave it like that
    I think alot f orlando bloom fans wil be upset it aint fair he provides the buffness in the film

  1. Kaela Says:

    I think a fourth Pirates film would be amazing. But only Jack? I love Johnny Depp, and I love the way he plays Jack Sparrow. But Without Will and Elizabeth it wouldn't be the same. It'd be Pirate of the Caribbean to me. When I think of the Pirates movies, I think of Will, Jack, and Elizabeth as the first thing that comes to mind. Many fans, like myself, would be very disappointed if they left them out of it. And Science Fiction? come on now. It's Pirates. It needs to have the Pirate feeling too it. The sea, beach, plundering, cannons, ships and sword fights. Not anything else.

  1. Allison Says:

    Its sad to see an amazing movie franchse turn into a money making pot. yeah- the movies made a lot, obviosly, but it was because disney was passionate about the actual MOVIE part of it. now they are willing to screw the movie and deface the francise, in hope of making a few extra dollars. THE SERIES OF MOVIES IS COMPLETE! Why ruin it?? sound dumb, and way too far-fetched to me. they are forgetting why everyone liked these movies in the first place!

  1. LessIsNotAlwaysMore Says:

    If Disney doesnt at least include Will in the next installments of the 'series'...dont plan on the numbers you've been getting now as far as Box Office receipts.
    Jack & Barbossa will do ok...but, let's face it, us true fans still want to see the adventures continue with our favorites from the 'trilogy'.
    If it's not broken...dont fix it!!!

  1. Mollay Says:

    Dude, why are people soooo set on wanting Liz and Will in it?
    THEIR STORY IS OVER! Why would you want to draw it out? It ended wonderfully (even though I hate both of their characters lmao) and if they did anymore with Will and Elizabeth, it'd be sooo redundant.



    Personally I'm excited to see more of Jack and Barbossa and everything about them. It won't be the same without Norrington and Beckett though. :(

  1. kitty Says:

    Oh My Gosh they are going to leave out Will and Elizabeth!?!?!?!? They can't do that. that would be sooooooooo bad!!!

  1. Styne Says:

    For those of you who are complaining that Orlando and Keira won't be in it...well, Keira is doing a movie fro 2008, and then she has clearly stated that it is a personal decision for her to take a long break from acting. Orlando, on the other hand, is showing in a play and he ALSO wants to take a long break from acting after performing on stage.

    Johnny Depp did this earlier in his career, if you look at it the similarities between him and Orlando and Keira are very distinct - all 3 started at a young age, made a few blockbusters (Nightmare on Elm Street, for you Johnny-nay-sayers) and Johnny took a break. Now look, he's made some iffy films, but after he made Pirates, everyone looks back and says he's made great choices! Orlando has mentioned this and says that he wants to take a break and hopefully make some more big hits when he's ready for it. Keira hasn't really said she recognizes any similarities, but I must admit...I will miss her in the 4th (if it is happening.)

    Both Orlando and Keira said that they felt a sense of completion after finishing the 3rd movie, and they feel it would be overwhelming to take on another series of Pirates movies. (Didn't you read, Ted & Terry and Gore and Jerry were all for making another TRILOGY with different plots.)

  1. Elizabeth Says:

    Well, in my opinion, either have Will and Elizabeth, or don't bother.

    I'm sorry but without them, I won't be attending. Sorry.

    Oh, and I plan to take as many fans with me as possible.

    Don't call me whiny and complaining, because I've heard it all before, and I'm still here.

  1. elizabeth Says:

    I don't think there should be a 4th movie because they make money but i also think they r pushing this sequel 2 far. i would leave it at 3. plus the title is At World's End so i would think it should be the end.
    and if there is a 4th 1 they should include will and elizabeth because if they don't then people might say, "hey what happened 2 will and elizabeth, AND their kid". Realy they just had a kid.
    in conclusion i am saying making a fourth movie might not work 4 many so it should be with will, elizabeth, thier son, jack and barbossa. OR the the pirates of the caribbean trilogy is over so many r happy 2 leave the stories like that.
    they shouldn' push it!!!

  1. Emily Says:

    DUDE!!! U HAVT TO HAVE WILL AND ELIZaBETH!! the ending was terrible for them in the last move but if u dont put them in it thats just stupid!!! i mean jack give the viewers humer but we need will and elizabeth for romance!! plus i havt to see how there relationship turned out. im with elisabeth on this eather will and Elizabeth are in it or im not atending!

  1. somebody Says:

    It will be sad if elizabeth and will don't appear!! i love so much jack sparrow! love him too much!!! but i would like to see also will!!! and elizabeth =).

  1. Sandy Says:

    First, the concept here about science fiction is beyond ridiculous. It's a pirate film, remember?
    Second, why all the moaning and groaning over Will and Elizabeth? They were boring together from the first film on. It will be a relief to be rid of them.
    Third, I'm tired of watching floozies do the same old number on Jack. I can see him with a lover/partner on the Pearl who will provide enough romance and hopefully sparks that were missing with the first miscast kiddy couple. But please, no pirate kings.
    I like the Fountain of Youth idea and would be very happy with that. But I feel a return to classic pirate fare is needed. All that is needed is Gibbs, the crew, Barbossa and the addition of an onboard romance for Jack for the makings of a truly satisfying film. New writers might help as well.

  1. Juno Says:

    I agree wholeheartedly with Killer.

    POTC doesn't need flying machines or any of that kind of crap. It wouldn't make any sense anyway.

    Will and Liz are over. That storyline isn't needed.

    In addition to bringing back McNally, Hollander, and Davenport(especially Davenport, since he was shafted in the 3rd one), they should also consider bringing back Saldana. This is assuming they're all willing of course.

    I think(I hope) that POTC 4(if it's made) can return to the goodness that the first one had. It has the potential since they're basically starting out on a clean slate.

  1. no name :D Says:

    O-M-G !! i can't believe their just thinking of not putting one of the MAIN characterts in the (MAYBE) fourth movie. YES, i'm glad for Mr.Captain Jack Sparrow, but i love Mr.William Turner, too! gees. yes he may be settling in his own way, by prosuing his acting career in other movies,and shows, which makes him who he really, a totally man famous,and an AMAZING actor, but i just love seeing him playing Will, because i think that he's the BEST!! i love [pirates] that's what i'm all about. well i can 't really wait that long, wow! 2009-2011, but i'd do anything for pirates. so if it means waiting for about 5-8 more years til the movie is out in theaters, than its fine with me. i'm hoping please try to fit orlando at least into some part of the 4th. well yeah o.k. i'm finished :D

  1. no name Says:

    i agree with : Elizabeth and Emily. (BUT) i still will attend just to see what happens :x

  1. Kayte Says:

    "Keith Richards was surprisingly good"?! He was only in there for like thirty seconds. I must say, even if he does suck as a musician, it doesn't mean he has to suck at acting. But I don't he was good, surprisingly or not.

    (ya- i agree with ^^^, BRING BACK NORRINGTON!)

  1. valerie Says:

    I want both Will and Elizabeth back...the end was not fair at all...the script writers should think very well because for sure the audience of the fourth movie won't be of the same amount...half of the audience won't come...the movie is not just in Jack Sparrow..it is also in Will and Elizabeth...and we want them back...both of them

  1. annie nichols Says:

    I think it would be just retarted if they dont have will and elizabeth in the 4th one. they cant just leave them at having a family ad then just stop their life their. it would be awful. and having Capt. jack through a whole movie. i wouldnt see it. i know people will disagree but its my opinion.

  1. Sarah Says:

    OMG!
    This is so crazy! I like Jack and all but come on people! Will is is hot and cute. I can not believe that they think that if they make a 4th It will survive with out Will and Elizabeth. Most men go to the movies to see Elizabeth in her clothes anyway. And at the end of the third moive you can not just let that go! You are not going to tell us anything about Will and Elizabeth. Over all I will go see POTC 4 if they make one but I wil not like it as much

  1. Amanda Says:

    I think I would like to see what Captain Jack could do without Liz and Will. It could be interesting. Hopefully Barbossa is back because I love his character.

  1. CAMILA Says:


    Will and Elizabeth can't not be in thee film POTC 4

    =(

  1. PIRATES FAN! Says:

    Man!!... i would want to see pirates 4! but not if will and elizabeth ..(2 of the main characters) arent in the movie..! but i dont think they should do a 4th movie because the 3rd movie was called AT WORLD'S END... and it said the end in the trailer... and just a jack sparrow movie will be boring .. although i love jack ....:o

  1. Helena Says:

    science fiction?... Pirates?...

    why don't they just put jack in a space outfit and call it astronauts of the caribbean?!

    pirates and science fiction just DON'T MIX!!

  1. Kayla Says:

    I am a huuuge Orlando Bloom fan, and if he is not in the movie with Elizabeth im not gonna bother to see it.

    I really wanna know how Will and Elizabeth turn out. Does she stay faithful? Is Will's cursed allowed to be uplifted? How can it be uplifted? So many unanswered questions..

    They cant have Jack forever. Sure, hes a good actor but it will get boring with him and some flying machines.

    They should just stop the pirates now. The 4th will give shame to the POTC name. Or just renamed the title, doesnt seem pirate anyway.

  1. Lani Says:

    I love the Pirates movies, and the idea of a fourth one excites me, but a movie without will and elizabeth might be a bore. I am interested in seeing how will and elizabeth end up! i want to know if will is still cursed. and if elizabeth has been 100% faithful and what their son is like!
    I know the triology is over, but can they not make a spin off with all the original characters?
    From the looks of this article, it doesn't seem like it has anything in common with the original pirates movies except for barbossa and captain jack.

    i'm not sure how this movie would turn out. pirates of the caribbean movies are not supposed to be science fiction. they might as well just change the name and not even have it be a spin-off of the trilogy.

  1. Sara Says:

    i think its a great idea to leave Will and Elisabeth out of the next film, it opens up more possibilities for the series and anyway, the series is about Captain Jack, not them.

  1. Ithica Says:

    No Will and Elizabeth? They are ruining all the wonderful chemisty between these characters that the fans fell in love with in the trilogy!
    I don't see how many of the fans would be pleased to hear this news. You've probably turned off many of the POTC fans from this news. If Will and Elizabeth are not included, just don't bother. It'll never be the same without them.

    Jack's fun and all, but a 3 hour movie centered on the guy? Not so amusing.

    They are truly dissapointing thousands of fans if they go this route.

  1. Sean Says:

    honestly Will and Elizabeth really didn't make the movie successful - Depp, Rush, and Nighy did! Their quality of acting and special effects. So it really doesn't matter to have Will and Elizabeth in the next films. Plus there really isn't a story to continue with them.

  1. Carl Says:

    I think leaving Will and Elizabeth out is the right thing to do, their story is pretty much over and the movies are really about Captain Jack. I like the science fiction angle they might be going with and i think its the right step to go.

  1. Tom Says:

    Good riddance to Will and Elisabeth, i want more Jack Sparrow and thank God Pirates 4 will only be about him.

  1. Ashley Says:

    OMG!!! i can't believe that Will and Elizabeth won't be in pirates 4 that's F*** UP! Will and Elizabeth just had a boy and now they're not in it they could be in it and like Elizabeth could be looking for Will.Also pirates would lose a lot of dedicated fans beacause they are letting two of the main people go. disney really needs too think about they're f***'n stupid idea of only having Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jack is relly HOTT don't get me wrong but Orlando is sweet, nice, has a cute accient and is even HOTTER. Besides everyone loves Orlando.

  1. Panda41 Says:

    i loved all of them the whole cast was just awsome bring them all back can watch all of them everyday.

  1. kate Says:

    WHAT?!?! i will not go and see it if orlando and keira aare not in that movie!! they made it! the love and every thing! she like needs to go and look for him with their son and then something happens to the son or something! what is with the Science Fiction? why would they do that to such a good movie!?

  1. Nick Says:

    Will and Elisabeth were boring, let's hope they don't come back.

  1. Bettyh Says:

    Can't wait, good to see that they are finally getting rid of Will and Elizabeth. I want more Johnny Depp.

  1. Earl Says:

    I think the movies would be better off with out Will and Elizabeth, it was their story that dragged down Pirates 2 and 3. Let's face it, despite some of the crybabies here, i think the majority of the fans would not mind if they were gone from the seres. Captain Jack is the main show here and i think he will be great as the lead in the next trilogy plus i can't wait to see what will happen in Atlantis.

  1. Amanda Says:

    If they do indeed make a 4th movie, they sure for surely have Will Turner and Elizabeth Turner! I cannot believe they would just cut them out of the script like that! They are such huge roles within the Pirates of the Caribbean story lines, it would be such a shame for them to be cut out. I mean hello?! Doesn't every girl love fantasizing about Orlando Bloom, and don't many guys like wishing they were with Kiera Knightly, but I know this is just a rumor, so I will just take it as that.

  1. pirate girl Says:

    i think that will and elizabeth should be in it because they had a son and it should be about her and her son with jack sparrow trying to figure out will turner curse should he be on the ship for every ten years or can he be free and who will find the fountaion of youth i think all the samw people should be in it if not they wont make that much money at all and people wont watch well at least not that much people

  1. paige Says:

    I don't think that pirates 4 will do good at all if it doesn't have Will Turner and Elizabeth Turner because they made the movies good. Every girl loves to go to the movies every day and see Orlando in pirates of the carribean. It would be ashamed to take them out like that. The movie will not make hardly an money if they take Will Turner and Elizabeth Turner out of the movie but we will see what happens.

  1. Marty Says:

    "Doesn't every girl love fantasizing about Orlando Bloom"

    No and i glad that nether him or Keira is in Pirates 4.

  1. Loriane Says:

    Will and Elizabeth were nothing more than just annoying filler. Their on-again off-again relationship got very tiring after the first film. Their "marriage" in the third film was something to groan at I must say. I mean, it was as if they just ran out of ideas in the script and said, "Hey, have them get married. That'll shut the little shippers up." Unfortunately, it didn't shut them up, it only made them squeal louder.

    I frankly would've preferred both of them just to have fallen off the face of the earth after the first film, but - eh. You have to have dramatic, annoying romance in everything nowadays it seems.

  1. Quincy Says:

    (No and i glad that nether him or Keira is in Pirates 4.)

    I agree and i think Pirates 4 would be better off with out them.

    Face it, Jack is the real star.

  1. Kelly Says:

    I think it would be a great idea if they left out Will Turner and Elizabeth Turner and get some new blood with Captain Jack.

  1. sandra Says:

    No Will and Elizabeth? They are ruining all the wonderful chemisty between these characters that the fans fell in love with in the trilogy!
    I don't see how many of the fans would be pleased to hear this news. You've probably turned off many of the POTC fans from this news. If Will and Elizabeth are not included, just don't bother. It'll never be the same without them.

    Jack's fun and all, but a 3 hour movie centered on the guy? Not so amusing.

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Any chemistry you imagined was just that....your imagination. The chemistry was clearly between Knightly and Depp. Bloom was just a cardboard cut out. Their departure from this franchise would be a huge relief and I'm certain that new characters will bring a fresh feel to the film. The next film is reportedly a Jack Sparrow film, and why not? He's the most interesting character in all the films. Consider this, if you took the talking trees out of the Wizard of Oz, would you miss them? No. I feel that way about the Will and Lizzy bore fest. BTW I don't personally care how much money a film makes. I've seen horrible films make huge $ and great films very little $. I just want to be entertained and feel satisfied. Will and Lizzy gone? LOL I'm satisfied already.

  1. sammi Says:

    PLEASE GOD NO.
    a fourth movie is great..
    BUT without at least Will?
    it will TANK. it will be horrible.
    Johnny Depp is amazing
    but he cannot carry an entire
    movie by himself when we
    have grown accustomed
    to Orlando and Kierra.
    HORRIBLE IDEA.
    POTC without will
    and elizabeth..
    i wont even bother seeing it.

  1. Meah Says:

    I also don't think that pirates 4 will work out if Will and Elizabeth Turner will not be included on the film.They give alot of meaning and sense with Captain Jack.Since pirates 4 is planning to be out they should answer all of the questionable and hanging parts.And this film will not be blockbuster without them.

  1. Rick Says:

    Will and Elizabeth's story is over and thank god for that, so now Pirates 4 would be a fresh start for the franchise.

  1. Juliet Says:

    Hmmmm....interesting. I'm a die hard POTC fan, but I think continuing on with the story might hurt it more than help it

  1. Kevman Says:

    I thing POTC becomes graet Im a big Jack Sparrow ( Jhonny Depp) Fan and i am glad that mor about jack sparrow is shown. Elizabeth and Wills time is past the Pirates of the Caribbean fourth movie becomes a great movie without them!!!!! Jack is the best not will or eliz.

  1. Angela Says:

    OMG! Pirates 4 without Will half, if not all the women go to the pirate movies to see Will Turner. I know I do! They have to put him in the 4th movie. Who cares if they put Elizabeth!

  1. Tingletangle Says:

    I am female and I couldn't care less. Orlando is simply a bland, boring actor and I am not going to miss him for one second. Kiera is still young and could become better, but to be honest we can't be sure about that ;)
    I am going to see this Pirates 4 stuff only because of Johnny Depp, even if it turns out to be rather corny. Still I am far more interested in his upcoming projects like Litvinenko or Sweeney Todd and think it's a shame that there won't be a Wuthering Heights movie like was being announced in 2006. I really think he has all the qualities to become the ultimate Heathcliff.

  1. yousef el said Says:

    I am sooooo happy that there will be a fourth film, but the most sadess thing about it is Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly are not in the film.I'm from Egypt and i think i'm the biggest fan in the country and all my freinds say Orlando and Keira should be in the film.

  1. PirateQueen Says:

    You cant do a pirates movie without Will and Elizabeth! It just would't be the same and if they ARE left out then I probably wont bother going to see it!

  1. PirateQueen Says:

    Pirates without Will Turner!? It's impossible! I'm a huge Orlando Bloom fan and if hes not in Pirates 4 I wont bother coming to it! It would be good to see if Elizabeth and Will stay together and if the curse is uplifted. Put them in number 4!!!!!!!

  1. Lina Roy Says:

    Wow That will be cool.I would like to know more about Captain Jack Sparrow. Like wher was he born, How did his mother died.

    this will really break my heart if Will & Elizabeth isn't in the 4th movie. I am in love with Will Turner and a HUGE Keira Knightley fan. if they are't in the movie then it really isn't "pirates of the caribbean" anymore, its just like calling it "jack at sea". i say that the plot should revolve around the fountain of youth (since thats what they ended on in the 3rd film) and jack can help elizabeth out by staying young for Captain Will Turner of the Flying Dutchman. then have these certain powerful people protecting it and everything. that would make it pretty big. i mean it doesn't really have to be bigger than the 3rd one since you really can't get any bigger than that. but just something simple but advetureous and exciting. i really hope they have a 4th movie and Elizabeth & Will in the movie. it just wouldn't be the same.

    (This will really break my heart if Will & Elizabeth isn't in the 4th movie.)

    Does not break my heart at all, i think its the right step to go to keeping the series fresh.

  1. Yvi Says:

    POTC 4 without Orlando and Keira? I can´t believe this. They must be in the fourth movie.

  1. Mimoza Says:

    Please don't kill the beautiful pirate story! Please don't kill Will & Elizabeth! :( :( :(

  1. Wanda Says:

    I'm glad Will and Elizabeth are not coming back, they drag the last two films.

  1. PiratesLover Says:

    I think they should bring back the Original cast!! I dont think it will be as fun without that whole LOVE HATE thing between the Jack Will and Elizabeth..I think the next one should be maybe about the "Beggining" How they all met etc. Maybe the Fountain of Youth thing would be ok 2..But without the cast..I dont think it will hit as big..Its no fun without the trio! They should bring them all back but it would be wierd cuz they did that whole 10 yrs later thing and Elizabeth dint age a bit..lol..Maybe they'll bring in the kid 2..lol..I say its not gonna be the same without Orlando and Keira!!

  1. Lady Sparrow Says:

    I would LOVE to see that movie!

  1. Mrs. Bloom Says:

    NO WILL AND ELIZABETH?!? I don't see the point in having a 4th movie if Orlando and Keira aren't in it! I don't think the pirates fans would be as eager to see it if it doesn't have the two in it. I love Johnny Depp and all but I am a die hard Orlando Bloom fan and I wouldn't see the possible fourth film without Orlando Bloom.


    ORLANDO AND KEIRA NEED TO BE IN THE 4TH FILM!!!

  1. Captain Turner Says:

    I would love to see P4, but have to have CAPTAIN WILL TURNER of the Flying Dutchman! I'd love to see how Will become black smith to CAPTAIN Will. Yes, I love Captain Jack Spallow, but I want to see more Captain Will Turner as well.

    I do not like idea of space ship or more science fiction stuff. Pirates for ocean!

  1. Sandra Says:

    I think the problem with all these Will/Elizabeth protests is that there are preteen girls who only go for the what is their "dream" boat of the moment. The Will/Elizabeth characters have served their purpose (such as it was) and are now redundant. Their story line is non existant, these little girls have had their Disney ending and now for the rest of us, maybe with a 4th film centering on Jack and his exploits can bring us back to the place the story should be. Jack is the main character, Johnny the real draw. So kids, it's over. If you find the Knightley/Bloom draw so strong, then I'd suggest you follow their next films. As for this one, stick a fork in those characters, they're done. They were always overdone.

  1. Sabrina Says:

    Hm, I'm not sure what to think of this. While I would love to see more of Captain Jack, even without Will and Elizabeth, I'm afraid they muck it up by making everything too big. Altough a lot of people in Hollywood obviously disagree with me, you need a good story to make a good movie. If Disney is just in it for the money and makes it all big effects and flying machines (I hope they are kidding...), this could mean a huge downfall for our beloved Captain's reputation with the audience.

    I just hope very, very much, that Johnny Depp doesn't sign any contract before they have a decent skript.

  1. mags Says:

    it wouldn't be the same but it would be intersing about the past on jack

  1. Samantha Says:

    Ok, so a fourth movie is a good idea. Yes, Will and Elizabeth's story has ended but I don't think they should be cut completely. What about thier kid...? Everyone wants to know about thier kid. Will thier kid become a pirate and fall into Jack's schemes as well...? We all want to know. I'd be quite excited if they did another triology.
    If they do make a fourth movie, sci-fi? no. I like the whole sword fights, pirate ships, rum drinking, treasure seeking thing. It just makes the movie.

    I've seen all the movies 5 times each, and they keep getting better. And its always been Jack, Will, Elizabeth. I hope they keep it that way.

  1. Nina Says:

    I'm from Croatia (small country by Italy) and I'm the biggest fan from my country, I think. Some of you will not believe me, but I sent a letter to Keira and she answer me. I was so happy and very sursurprised. I couldn't believe. Now I feel the same (about Pirates 4) . But I'm very very sad for Keira and Orlando because they are big part of the story. Maybe they will change their mind. Who knows?! I hope, they will be all together in Pirates 4. Kiss

  1. Bugger Says:

    I love the idea of a 4th pirates movie!
    But no captain will or captain elizabeth?!?!?!?!?! That's carzy!!!!! We need to know what happens between them & if elizabeth stayed captain of the chinese ship?????

    Sicence fiction?!?!?!?!? What's up w/ that? Pirates is all about freedom, captain jack, & rum =)

  1. Matt Says:

    I Think Pirates 4 would be the best. Idc if anyone alse is in it but jack. He is the whole reason y the movie would b good. What would the fountai of youth do though. Would nt make jack sparrow a boy again and that would ruin the whole thing because they would need a younger charaacter to play Jack as a kid. Well anyway i still would go to the theaters 2 watch POTC4 no matter how bad it is. I will continue watching all the movies in the series of POTC until it is done. Nothing will stop mew from doing that. I ll tell u that much.

  1. andrew walker Says:

    we need 4 so jack can get his ship back so thay might go where no pirate has gone before to inside the earth jack is the best pirate since long john silver for disney

  1. Sandra Says:

    Yes, Will and Elizabeth's story has ended but I don't think they should be cut completely. What about thier kid...? Everyone wants to know about thier kid.

    ____________________________________________

    Why would anyone care about this kid? The kid is just that, a kid. The next story won't take place 20 years down the line and adding a kid to try to make a movie "cute" is the biggest mistake filmakers in the past have made. Remember the 2nd Indiana Jones film? Horrid, why? Because they thought adding a cute asian kid would make a family type of dynamic with the new female. It stunk! No, we don't care about the kid.

  1. symone Says:

    i love the thought of pirates comming back although its sad to see keira and orlando go but at least we still have captain jack sparrow

  1. Hannah Says:

    WTF, Nooo! I swear im crying. They HAVE to have Will in there! Nooo! My god, this is so freaken not right. Disney will get no money from the fourth money if Will And Elizabeth arent there. Yeah, i dont care if elizabeth is there or not, but Will Ohmygod. No. I swear...

  1. PirateGirl Says:

    Well, I have to say shame on you Disney. I think that the humor in this will be gone, along with one beloved character and one freak..I and talking about Will and Elizabeth. Honestly, I'm fine with no Elizabeth. Always hated her, but she and Will were a main part of a lot of the entertaining points. And with Will gone, there goes another plot idea...=) They could have kept them both, and gotten two movies out of it! One would have been getting the Pearl back, and taking Elizabeth to the Fountain of Youth and making her live forever, like Will. then another idea would have been Elizabeth losing Will's heart...and the adventure of getting it back...

    And Sci-Fi Pirates? O_o...wow they must REALLY have writers block...

    Too bad, so sad Disney. You screwed yourselves with that choice! =)

  1. Mena Says:

    If Orlando is not in the fourth movie it will suck big time. Who gives a crap about Jack? If this movie is all about him I am NOT going to Waste my money to see HIM. He is definitly not worth it. All of Orlando's fans will be highly dissapointed and sad if he isn't in it. It can't be a PIrates movie if Orlando is not in it. He has to be in it because at the end of POTC 3 they left it totally wide open with him and Elizabeth and their SON. I swear to everyone who reads this, if sexy Orlando is not in the fourth movie, I will not see it and I'm a Pirates fan. I know for a fact I will not see it if it is only about Jack Sparrow. I can't stand Johnny Depp. SO WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT ORLANDO NEEDS, MUST, AND HAS TO BE IN THIS MOVIE.

  1. KM Says:

    there will be absolutely no point in making a 4th pirates of the caribbean if you take will and elizabeth out they are the other two main characters....you could have will take elizabeth and there son to the fountain of youth so they will be together forever...taking them out just ruins everthing completely you will just waste your money on another one by doing that

  1. Tingletangle Says:

    Somewhere I read that part four is going to be a kind of prequel, and will concentrate on the youth of Jack Sparrow and his adventures with Barbossa. So there really would be no need or place for the boring, ungoing love story of Will and Elizabeth. And probably this will be first part with serious acting only.

    Jesus I have laughed so hard reading the article 'How Bland Is Orlando Bloom, Really'
    http://www.thejay.com/2006/07/19/how-bland-is-orlando-bloom-really/

  1. krista Says:

    the onle reason Keira Knightly is not going to be in the 4 pirates of the caribbean is because she os working on a new movie in the UK!
    yes i know it is very sad :-(

  1. krista Says:

    I think its cool that they might make a 4th pirates of the corbbean but if
    keira knightly and orlando bloom arent going to be in the movei why bother
    to watch the movie. cause if you think about it after they got married they
    became the center of atentoin!

  1. Actress Says:

    WHAT THE HELL!!!!! no will and elizabeth.....WHAT! that is such a mistake. i am an acting/directing student and i study every day what it takes to create a good film and let me tell u if they take out two key characters.....even if it isn't Johnny Depp it still will NOT work. these are growing characters who can't just be cut out. film is an art and is all about entertainment not about how much money can we make. honestly i will not go if orlando and keira are gone. they are fabulous actors and should be back!!!!!!!!Pirates will not be pirates without them!!!!!!

  1. Natalie (a.k.a. mrs.bloom) Says:

    okay 1/2 the reason potc movies were such a hit was bc of orly and kiera! i like captain jack and all, but i dont think a 4th will do that well without orlando and kiera! its like making more harry potter movies with hermonie and whats-his-face (idk his name). jack, will, and elizabeth r like the pirate 3 musketeers! orlando is the only reason i saw potc1 a gazillion times, potc2 7 times and potc3 4 times! also, the 3rd movie really left you hanging about what happened to elizabeth! we know will is the captain of the dutchman, but the 4th movie could be about how elizabeth sails the seas with will and their son, and they could run into jack or something! idk but ORLANDO AND KIERA NEED TO BE IN POTC4!!!!!!!!

  1. Sandra Says:

    WHAT THE HELL!!!!! no will and elizabeth.....WHAT! that is such a mistake. i am an acting/directing student and i study every day what it takes to create a good film and let me tell u if they take out two key characters.....even if it isn't Johnny Depp it still will NOT work. these are growing characters who can't just be cut out. film is an art and is all about entertainment not about how much money can we make. honestly i will not go if orlando and keira are gone. they are fabulous actors and should be back!!!!!!!!Pirates will not be pirates without them!!!!!!

    My cousin taught theatrical arts/production at Rutgers University and she'll tell you that Bloom and Knightley have a looooong way to go to be anything but mediocre. I would recommend that you keep studying. Two of the drabbest characters in any production are also the weakest links, which is how my cousin described them. Ending their storyline was a much needed dumping of superfluous baggage. Bring on the Captain Jack adventure. Depp is a highly talented creator in his own right and with equally talented co-stars and a decent script, can obviously handle a film without the drag of the dullest, most mismatched twosome in screen history. Mr. Depp, you have my support and my best wishes in any opportunity to bring Jack to the center of these films where he rightfully belongs. Bloom and Knightley, good luck in finding employment that meets with your endeavor to improve upon your limited skills.

  1. Josh Says:

    I think that the fourth installment will have Capt. Jack Sparrow looking for the Fountain of Youth and would help Will and bring him back, also i have the feeling that Will will find his heart and come back...

  1. Denise Says:

    Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan cannot be taken out of the POTC 4 (if there is). They have been apart of the aventure from the very beginning so they must stay to the very end. Jack is great, but honestly what draws me to the movies to watch POTC is Will's and Elizabeth's relationship grow... in the first movie you see Will in love with Elizabeth and how they are like destined to be together. Movie 2 they're relationship becomes rocky... and the 3rd they're together, but not really with Will cursed upon the flying dutch..... so they're a HUGE part of the POTC...don't get me wrong Jack is great... but theres a limit to how much he can do in one film. Do you really think that if the first pirates of the caribbean was just jack, that it would be as big as a sucess it is today? I seriously doubt it.

    As for the flyign machines and what not... well that just completely wrecks the whole pirates feel...

    So either they have the whole cast (Will, Elizabeth & Jack) then a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 would be a complete failure... So its either all for one or none at all.

    POTC 3 was great! it made me fall in love with the whole serious and to here that it is over, well could be over just wrecks everything... I LOVE the whole story of the POTC and in my view it is a classic!

    So if they are thinking of cutting will and eliz they should seriously reconcider... maybe take a poll to see what most fans really want.

    if the writters are thinking of plans for a forth well maybe they could wait a few years for kiera and orlando to have they're break...so while Kiera and Orlando are on their break the writes should take a LONG think about what they are going to do next.

  1. Kay Says:

    Forgot to mention, What's with the flying machines and sci-fi?! This can't be true. :-S Flying pirates ... Oook then.

  1. Denise Says:

    Yeah I know right! The flying sci-fi stuff just diminishes the creditability of the POTC... and Atlantes is so over done. Moviegoers don’t want to see Atlantes… they’ve probably seen it done a billion times already.

    My other posts doesn’t include Johnny Depp enough…. He really brings the movie into a new dimension with the witty style he brings to the movie through captain jack sparrow… but he can’t do it alone.

    I think that the whole fountain of youth would be a great idea for POTC 4, but it would be even better with a plot to get will back from the flying Dutchman so that William turner can be with Elizabeth… and somehow tie the two (fountain of youth and getting will back)… now that would be a good movie

  1. Meghan Says:

    i think will and elizabeth were valuble characters and should at least be featured in jacks new adventure along with their son. but we love jack and as long as their making a fourth one theirs no complaints here.

    lol kay i think the idea of flying machines is a little far fetched too .. but i think they either mean

    1: leonardo davinci first blue prints of flying machine type things
    2: if you ever saw the movie atlantis (lol yes that old cartoon disney movie) the hover car sort of thing they had there.

  1. Meghan Says:

    well i do think that would be a little far fetched if they did that as well kay. but i dont think they mean like space ships... more of like a leonardo davinci first flying machince invented sort of thing. or if you ever saw the movie atlantis lol yess that old disney cartoon movie they had those hover car things and thats what they could be talking about

  1. Meghan Says:

    see now i think will and elizabeth should at least be featured in the fourth one... maybe not play a big role like they have in the first three movies (although id miss that) but maybe somehow get involved in jacks new adventure WITH THEIR SON! i think it would be better if they did that. but we love jack and any hard core pirate fan would be glad if they were back for another .. even if we do have to wait a few more years and the wait will soon be unbareable lol

  1. Lulu Says:

    well, I just love Orlando Bloom! I'll hate Pirates of the Carribean if Will won't be in the fourth!!!It will be a bad joke for all the audience because I know there are many of Wil&Elizabeth-lover in the World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(

  1. Denise Says:

    yeah... but even with the old flying stuff.... it would just wreck things. Oh and as for Orlando looking for love on facebook... well good luck to him, but honestly people that date over the net aren't that great aka deperate/wierd people =P well best of luck to him... he derserves someone great.

  1. Meghan Says:

    ohh and btw everyone there is a site called pirates4news.com where you can find alot of details about the upcoming movie. you can also talk on a forum with other pirate fans.

    and keep an eye out for the deleted scenes on the third dvd when it releases. its said that they are going to have a deleted scene about the curse being broken so will is not imortal anymore and does not have to be captain of the dutchman

  1. Meghan Says:

    lol denise dont get too worked up about it. its probably just another tabloid scandal. he doesnt like computers and hasnt even taken his out of the box yet. remember way back when the tabloids said that he was gay and then they said that he was talking trash about his mom?those werent real and this is probably another one of those. the tabloids will do anything like that.

  1. Meghan Says:

    and also when you think about it .. a significant amount of characters will not be in it .. among them are

    *will turner
    *elizabeth swann
    *lord cutler beckett
    *govener weatherby swann
    *commadore james norrington
    *davy jones

    i mean of course im going to see the fourth movie .. ill just miss all the characters that the first films revolved around

    ohh and btw whoever said that thing about people only missing orlando because their little girls with fantasies of him .. your wrong. some people are actually die hard fans of these movies and orlando blooms character could be a valuble part to the movies to them just a captain jack is to you. yess of course we will miss him .. but its not because we are crazy little fan girls.

  1. Marisol Says:

    Without William Turner??? NO way! Jack bored me in AWE, sorry guys, but it was too much. Jack Clones?? puff I hated that. A fourth movie with only Jack?? I willn't bother with that. To me would like a movie about the Captain William Turner's adventures hehe. Jack is fine, but at least in my country (Argentina) the most were to watch the movie for Orlando Bloom

  1. Thomas Says:

    As much as I want more Pirates, I don't know about the ideas for this fourth one. Without William and Elizabeth I fear we will have many angry fans.
    FLYING MACHINES?!?! That doesn't seem very pirate-y to me.
    And I have doubts that Johnny Depp can hold the entire movie on his back without making the movie a colossal failure.

  1. Denise Says:

    haha i'm not worked up about it lol i just thinks its abit odd of him too you know.... well yeah thats what i thought as well.. from a person who doesn't use computers to a person dating over the net?? doesn't fit if you ask me... oh and thanks for the site:)

  1. Tamika Says:

    OMG OMG i wouldnt live without Orlando Bloom in pirates of the caribbean 4 not so much Keira Knightly cause i hate her for marring Will anhoo love captain jack also but those three make a good team and just yeah without them me and my friends wouldnt go see it
    p.s ORLANDO BLOOM IS THE HOTTEST MAN ON GODS PLANET AND UNIVERSE!

  1. Emily Says:

    I think they should totally make a 4th movie on Pirates I mean Everybody loves Jack. I mean Will and Elizabeth I don't really care about them I mean I know other people will. But comeo on seriously we all know whats going to happen with them. So go with Jack and the Foutain of youth!!!! And I like Barbossa too!! He is really cool!!

  1. JON THE PIRATE Says:

    o.k. the pirates movies are my favorite movies ever and I wouldlove a 4th one but putting things like atlantis in it would just seem well retarded so please don't make it scince fictiony at all if it happens I mean pirates and scince fiction just don;t mix

  1. susie Says:

    ok, in the third one will and elizabeth ( or how ever you spell it) got married,and on the island will gave her his heart. So then will left and there was a flash of green, if you had stayed after the credits like some people did, you waould have seen elizabeth and a 9 year old son on that same island. then there was a flash of green and will came back from the dead. But, since will and elizabeth kept their love for each other, will is able to not be captian of the flying dutchman anymore so that now he can be with elizabeth and his 9 year old son. So i really think that will pl,ay a pretty big role in the fourth movie, if there is one. A people all that stuff up there is just rumors even though some of it is true. And they might replace orlando Bloom, (sexiest man alive) because he has said on previous talk shows that he wants to go back to london o wherever it is and start doing plays again, which i think is wrong because he is the best will turner ever.so there you have it, that might happen in the 4th movie, if they even have one (i also heard RUMORS just rumors that there might be a 4th, a 5th, and a 6th movie still to come

  1. Meghan Says:

    haha yepp its me again :] btw denise your welcome. you should go on its a really cool site. like make a user account and everything and then you can comment on the forum. i love that site. any wayy

    guys think about it .. its quite a significant amount of years til they even start to write the script probably and til they film the movie. keira and orlando could rise to the occasion and decide to come back for one last movie. ya never know. i mean orlando said he loves doing these movies and keira said if the first one is the absolute last one for her .. shell come back. i mean ya never know =]

  1. denise Says:

    yeah i agree with you Meghan! they have along time to think about it =] and they'll miss each other =P so they might do another. in interviews you always here them say how fun it is etc etc.. and how they're all good friend... so yeah *fingers-crossed* oh and i only want a 4th if its going to be good.. i don't want a let down =[

  1. tatiana Says:

    i think its a good idea to have pirates 4 cause its really funi and my mum and i loved all the athers and I even collect all your movies .and because of your movie I really want to be an actress so infinaty % of yes their should be pirates 4. I also love the actors expeicaly "JOHNNY DEPP" he has to be in all the movies so yeah ohh olandoooooo yes him too me and my friends think his "hot" and kira if thats how you spell it your pretty assssss well hope i will c a pirates 4 and maybe a 5 if it causes no trouble . never mind hope to c you in another movie love tatiana

  1. Andrew Says:

    Will is dead, that is good. He is with his father which is what he wanted most anyway. The kid with Elizabeth looks more like Sparrow then he does Will so obviously Lizzie and Sparrow were getting busy right after Will was out of the picture. Poor Will at the end of the movie returns to land after 10 years only to see the kid looks like Sparrow. Lizzie tells him the bad news that Jack and herself are married with child and since Will and herself only got married on a ship with no documents they never really got married. Will is so mad that he becomes the new Davy Jones and starts to hunt for Sparrow. But of course this does not happen for 10 years from now. As far as Sparrow goes, his boat springs a leak just like in the first movie and he is forced to return to Tortuga where he gets Gibbs and Lizzie and they steal a ship and start to go for the Fountain of Youth. After they sail off for Florida Barbossa and co return to Tortuga to get the charts from Sparrow. Now Gibbs blurted out to the prostitues where his group was going so when Barbossa ask them they gladly tell him where Sparrow is going because they are still mad at him. Sparrow finds the fountain and Lizzie and himself drink from it. Gibbs decides not too. Not long after the group starts to set sail back to the Caribbean, they run into the Black Pearl. Sparrow anticipated this and was smart enough to bring some more of the fountain water with him. He trades the water to Barbossa for the Black Pearl. Barbossa agrees. At that moment they run into Ponce De Leon. Now since Ponce was already dead, it was the ghost of Ponce that they run into who had drank from the fountain but instead of becoming immortal in life, he became immortal in death. The Pearl takes some damage but manages to flea because it is quicker than Santa Maria ship that was given to him by his friend Columbus (who he actually helped cross the Atlantic ocean on his second trip), and he turned into a battleship. They arrive at Jamaica where they learn voodoo and the secrets of the ghost of Ponce from the locals. They use this voodoo to help them defeat Ponce on their next incounter. It is at this time that Sparrow learns that Lizzie is pregnant with his child that she was hiding from him. Sparrow is confused at first but decides to give up pirating and gives the Pearl back to Barbossa, sells the other ship that he stold earlier and opens a tavern with Gibbs and settles down with Lizzie. Barbossa and the crew sail off after dropping them off for more debauchery and pirating. Lizzie hangs onto the heart of Will for some reason but Sparrow gives his Piece of Eight to one of the crew members but we don't know who, we just see it hanging from one of the cots as the movie comes to an end. For all you Will lovers this is going to make you mad, but so what. Will is out of the picture for 10 years and you know they are not going to wait that long to make another pirates movie. Will is taking care of souls and his dad and that is enough. Plus, he is on a ship for 10 years with no women on it so I am sure he turns gay sometime during those 10 years. No man can last 10 years without sex, just ask prisoners. So now everyone truly has a happy ending for at least 10 years. Barbossa has the Pearl and the crew. Gibbs has the 2 prostitutes and helps run the tavern. Will has his dad. Sparrow and Lizzie have each other, a child, a business and Immortality. Smiles all around.

  1. Arcway Says:

    Wouldnt be wise to leave out elizabeth and will on a posiblle poc4. Beasides i would love to see jack sparrow finally getting a crew and a ship like he always wanted (not necessary the black pearl). Even more to see a way to brake the flying dutchman cursed and return will to elizabeth. And probably a flash back on how elizabeth father die.

  1. pirate lover Says:

    as much as i'd like a whole movie dedicated to jack sparrow(johnny depp), i would love will(orlando bloom) and elizabeth(keira knightley) to come back as well, as there can not be a pirates 4 with the famous trio, jack, will and elizabeth. gore verbinski(the director) has made 3 brillant pirates of the caribbean films, so why is he being sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo stupid if i where the director i would cast all the main characters and all the supporting rolls all over again. im sure im not the only one who feels the same. im just as happy as the next johnny depp fan but you cant have a POTC without will, jack and elizabeth. HELLOOOOOOO wake up gore verbinski, will some one get that man a straight jacket he needs to be put in the mad house. if he thinks hes going to get away with this hes mad nobody will go and see the 4th film if its 3 hours of johnny depp(captain jack sparrow) even if they are obsessed. they need to cast orlando and keira in the 4th film. SOOOON.

  1. Elyse Says:

    In my opinion, Will and Elizabeth absolutely positivley must be in the 4th film. By the third movie, you really get to understand their characters and get attached to them,then you lose them in the 4th! What's with that? AND, you cannot have a WHOLE MOVIE JUST ABOUT JACK SPARROW! (He's cool, humorous, and funny, but this movie can't be ALL about him.).

  1. Sandy Says:

    How old are you people? It's a film. The Turner and Swann Characters, not to mention the other minor characters killed or unnecessary are barnacles on a creaky boat. They have been excised and permanently. There is no need to hang on to a non-story. I don't care about the boring Will/Elizabeth characters. Their story is OVER people. The film(s) I'm looking forward to are new chapter(s) that will move the Jack story forward. These two characters you're mooning over have no further purpose in the franchise. You saw the ending.........that was it. When a kid is the big ending you know that's the bottom of the barrel and that "ain't" no more to know. The Jack character is infinitely interesting and mysteriously compelling in a way that begs questions about Jack, his world and his life as a pirate. His adventures could be a lot of fun. Drop the dreary dead people and let's get on with putting fun back into the films. Adieu you two..............please don't bring these colorless couple back. Jack is like color film in the middle of a black and white photo. Trim the black and white and let's just stick with the color.

  1. Poppy Says:

    I'm a Diehard POTC fangirl, and I'll freely admit that. If there is a POTC4, I'll go see it. Repeatedly. Orlando and Keira or no Orlando and Keira. Hell, I don't care if the entirety of the film is watching beige paint dry while some random person off the street reads the phone book. If that just happens to be the case, I'll go see it.

    However, I'd be much happier if it turned out to be a decent film. I can see a film centered around Jack with no Will and Liz turning out great- if they do it right. I love Jack- If he's in a POTC4, I'll be there, even if he is flying around Atlantis in a hover-car or the like. In my opinion, any film with Jack Sparrow is interesting, no matter what he's doing, but that's probably just me.

    On the other hand, I'm certainly not against Orlando and Keira returning. I'd love it, actually. I adore Orlando (yes, I'm a rabid fangirl for him too!). I don't think their story has to be over. There's millions of ways that could go- if Will's son ends up going to sea for whatever reason, if Elizabeth and Jack meet again, I don't think the writers will be stuck without a plot.

    I'm not sure who said that Elizabeth and Will have become boring and unnecessary, but I don't think so. I honestly don't know if the POTC4 film will be a success or failure if they aren't in it. i'd prefer them to be in it, actually...

    Oh, and by the way, I heard a rumour (from my friend who is currently in Blackpool, who heard it from a Disney Worker in the Disney shop) that Kiera Knightly HAS been signed on for a fourth film, and that the announcement will be made in a month or so. But, please bear in mind that I'm not 100% of this!

    I LOVE Pirates of the Caribbean!!!

    I love Jack Sparrow, to, but how all you people are complaining about Will and Elizabeth......
    they said they MIGHT not come back because they want to take a break. But theres a POSSIBILITY they might be in there, since theyre taking a break and the movie doesn't come out untill between 2009-2011.

    Ever think about that? I don't care what anyone says, I'm going to see Pirates 4!!!

  1. POTC orly fan Says:

    Let me just say, if they only make it about Jack, they are going to loose SO MUCH MONEY and going to loose a whole crowd, their movie this year made a lot of money but didn't make so much compared to the years before, and if they loose the other characters , they aren't going to make ANY money because everyone loves Will, Elizabeth, And BARBOSSA! Tell your friend that!!!

  1. ELIZABETH Says:

    YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE THREE MAIN CHARACTERS IN PIRATES 4. WITHOUT ORLANDO BLOOM AND KEIRA KNIGHTLY THE MOVIE WONT BE AS GREAT AS THE FIRST THREE. A MOVIE WITH JUST JOHNNY DEPP IS GREAT BUT NOT A PIRATE MOVIE.

  1. Sandra Says:

    Grow up! The reason the third film was a flop was because Jack wasn't in the film enough and because the writers fille the screen with superfluous garbage regarding who/ when/ where/when and why involving these gruesome twosome. The majority of W/E people are girls going through puberty. For the rest of us, it was yawn city. In a few years these same "OOh I can't live w/o Orlando" girls will be over it and we'll be stuck with another piece of garbage because the writers aren't thinking about the most valuable character in the series and it's proliferation, but about how much stupid teens are paying to see this sloppy Barbie and Ken act over and over and over again. Take the good advice. Just keep watching AWE over and over and let the rest of us move Jack into the spotlight where he belongs. His character is truly compelling and I'd like to see his story............without any annoying teen distractions.

    I love all the Pirates movies and am a HUGE fan of orlando bloom
    but if hes not i dont know if i really wanna see the forth.
    he holds the movie together!!!!
    For the last 3 movies we have watched johnny, keira and orlando
    make these movies and enjoyed every minute of it...
    you cant keep makin movies like the forth without all the main characters..
    it would reuin all the popularity and fans the movies have achieved.
    i think if they do kill anyone off they will regret it....

    Ditching Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly? That sucks! If anything would make me watch a FOURTH pirate movie it would be them. I am dead sick of Jack Sparrow (as much as I love Johnny Depp) and only the possibility of Elizabeth Swann searching out the fountain of youth to keep pace with her now ageless husband (I mean seriously, one year a decade with her husband? That's like 7 days in your LIFETIME assuming you started from childhood and then take into account that she's already two decades in, which leaves you five days, LESS with life expectancy back then. THAT is a suck ending) would coerce me to pay to view a fourth installation in the franchise. Christ, Jack started out as a tertiary character, and with character developments in both Elizabeth and Will, they are what really keep this series from wilting with Jack overload.

    I see you have a calculator. Nice thing to have with this dead boring couple. I'd like to point out that the name of the film is "Pirates of the Caribbean". The two characters you are so tied up with have NOTHING to do with that. They were merely supporting objects to give Jack something to bounce off of. Johnny doesn't need these two and neither does anyone over 16 including me. I have complete confidence that Johnny, Geoffrey and the rest can handle a film beautifully without the dead man and his weirdly pregnant wife. In fact, that alone should count them both out. Savvy? A few better cast new characters should give these veterans all the support they'd need to craft an interesting and fun-filled fourth film. I'm just worried that they seem to want to stick with T & T in the writing department. I don't think *that's* a smart move. The first film was crafted by four people. Maybe they need to find the other two writers and put them back to work.

    Will and Elizabeth have been a strong couple, but their story has been told. It's time to zero in on developing the characters of the main pirates (Sparrow and Barbossa).

    Egads! No Sci-Fi that isn't related to sea lore. That's just a hiccup in the whole plot. Calypso was good. Falling off the edge of the (earth) waterfall was good. Introducing a very famous pirate is good. Reflecting on Sparrow's youth (if not overdone) is good. Huge flying machines lose me. Sorry. I just don't get it.

    A new trilogy is very, very good. This gives Captain Jack Sparrow the opportunity to meet with new (well-developed) characters and start brand new adventures. Very exciting to find out where he will go next, and whose lives will be intertwined with his!

  1. Raven Says:

    An all Jack pirates movie, if well scripted, could be absolutly fantastic. As long as they keep the same director etc. Losing the style of the movie would be depressing.
    As for people upset about Elizabeth/Will leaving

    Elizabeth has served her role and completed her arch. To carry her on, would be to wear out her character, and make her entire concept less novel and heroic or however you want to phrase it.

    Will was a plot device...
    an annoying one. Really. The story could have been without him -just fine-. He was a connective device between Elizabeth and Jack. If he were to show up, that'd be worse then Elizabeth's wearing thin... people would probably throw tomatoes.

  1. Nikki:D Says:

    WELL..... I think that JOhnny Depp Is pretty much the best actor out there and the first 3 have been based pretty much on Jack sparrow already so there is no big change. Elizabeth and will are married and have a child so what kind of movie would it be when will cant step on land for 10 years and elizabeth is taking care of her child. a boring movie is what! So... Johnny Depp staring in the 4th movie again and even more... FANTASTIC! aand trying to find altantis.. AMAZING!
    Stop Complaining, Deal With It, Get Over It,
    & Watch The 4th One When It Comes out!!

    hehe

    Cheers

  1. Savannah Says:

    Ok, so i know i am the biggest POTC fan ever! like i google it everyday. but still, if will and elizabeth arent gonna be in it, then (and im gonna shoot myself for saying this) they shouldnt bother making another one. and how does everyone know he has a kid?? what? i never saw that or heard that....but yeahh. i think they should at least do one more cause the end of the 3rd one for them made no sense to me. idk. but yeahh. like i said, i am the biggest fan ever! i know all there is to know, but i didnt know that elizabeth had a son! i mean what the crackk??!!!?? where did you all read this?

    Ok, first of all, if their doing an all Jack Sparrow movie, they should do it as a prologue sorta thing. Like, what happened before the first movie, like the mutiny of Jack and the finding the chest of Cortez. Like, all the puzzle pieces we here throughout the movies should be in one movie, as in what happened before The Curse Of The Black Perl

  1. Kelsey Says:

    OMG they should totally put Elizabeth and Will in there.I mean they r the romance of the movie!!!I mean at the end of the 3rd movie they had a son and it was 10 years in the future!!!They have to continue it,Jack is cool and all but they just need them.Its not just because I'm totalllyin love wiith Orlando,its also because I like them in the movies.They make Pirates of the Caribbean,Pirates of the Caribbean!!!!!!!!!I'm not going to see it without Orlando and Keira in it!!!!!!!!

  1. uvio Says:

    What I want is for Jack to have a love story in number 4. I don't like prequels. But yeah, I am not a big fan of will and elizabeth... Rush and Depp are great actors, the real pirates. I can't believe the people who say that they cannot watch Jack for 3 hours. I could luv him

  1. ladeyofthewoode Says:

    Remember inThe Curse of the Black Pearl the scene at the foot of the gallows - on the day they almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow? Remember how, in the listing of his black deeds, he grins at the mention of a certain impersonation? A cleric of the Church of England...
    We've never seen Captain Jack do any of his infamous impersonations. In fact, we've never even seen him in a change of clothes. Though to some it might seem sacrilege, think of the possibilities...
    And when you consider the standard he's set himself for fantastic entries, it could be the golden opportunity. He could play an entire scene to an unsuspecting audience, and then, with a dramatic flourish, reveal himself to the astonishment of all. (And, of course, at someone else's expense.)

  1. ladeyofthewoode Says:

    At World's End... a fantastic end to the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, but not the end of the story?
    After all, you can't just leave Will and Elizabeth with their See You Every Ten Tears, Honey relationship. She looked all right after the first visit, but imagine her after two or three...She's going to look like Will's grandmother.
    But, what luck, guess who's got a map to the Fountain of Youth? Whether she tracks him down or he needs her for some nefarious scheme of his own or they just meet by chance, I don't know.
    And wouldn't it be great if her young son took the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow for his hero and followed him about like a puppy dog? Will would just love that. And, of course, Jack wouldnt be able to resist the opportunity to make lovely little comments about how the boy could have been his own son "if only..."
    And PLEASE don't go fantasy sci-fi on us! I think that would make the movies sooo corny.

    they cant make a 4th Pirates with out Will of Elizabeth half of the story would be gone then and what about Barbosa and Gibbs and the rest of the crew abordthe black pearl i love Jack and all but the story would not be a
