[Movies] Latest On The Next Pirates of the Caribbean Movie
Posted by Ashish on 10.08.2008
What's going on with the next film in the franchise?
While Disney is going forward with Pirates of the Caribbean 4, and Johnny Depp will be back as Jack Sparrow, both Orlando Bloom (Will Turner) and Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swann) won't return for the film. So what other major characters will the film focus on?
CinemaBlend is reporting a rumor that a new major character could be the brother of Jack Sparrow, and that character might be comedic and be played by either Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) or Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).
There is also talk that if Gore Verbinski doesn't return to direct the film, Tim Burton might step in, though Verbinski is expected to return. Geoffrey Rush is also expected to return as Barbossa.
Sacha baron cohen would be awesome. Russell brand would be akin to someone shitting upon my fave meal.

Hey, no Orlando or Kiera... AWESOME!!!
As long as Barbossa is back, it's all good.

russell brand is a great choice, he was hilarious in forgetting sarah marshall. i thought he was a cross between captain jack and nigel tufnel.

Depp and Rush is all the film will need. Bloom and Knightleys story is over. People dont go to see them anyway.

I like the idea of a Sparrow brother, especially if one of the 2 suggested take the part.

While the amount of Depp/Burton pairings is getting ridiculous, Burton could breathe some fresh air into the franchise.

Please no Russel Brand that man is a fool.
Heck the whole comedic brother idea seems odd considering Depp is comedic already.
I'm down with Gore or Tim Burton, both are great.
And yes, please more Geoffry Rush! He's a badass in his role!

Dammit that hack Burton better not lay his scissor hands anywhere near Pirates.

I dont know if I could handle the awesomeness that would be Depp and Brand in the same movie.
Posted By: J Money (Guest) on October 08, 2008 at 08:09 PM
I think Russell Brand would totally rock in this feature.

Yawn

Cohen does not deserve such a role
Tim Burton needs to learn how to do more movies without Depp

I dread the idea of Tim Burton's POTC. It'll be dark, quirky, and Helena Bonham Carter will the the love interest.

I like both Cohen and Brand, but to me Russell Brand is too similar to Jack Sparrow. Also Jack Sparrow is already comedic, how much more silly could you make a character, unless he was a different kind of pirate (not that there's anything wrong with that)
I think it would be cool to see someone like Cohen (real life funny guy) play a more level headed cool guy brother to Johhny Depp's (real life cool guy) over the top, bumbling, anti-hero

A brother a Jack sparrows?
Damn, that means that his children's book series will be non-canon. my little brother will be crushed.
I hope that Burton doesn't sign, I perfer the realistic sets (Davy Jones aside) to Burton's typical stylized view.

WHAT NO BLOOM OR KNIGHTLEY?!?!?!?!
They were the main focus of 2 and 3 and the stars of this franchise.
Depp just wants more money. Why no good roles coming your way anymore johnny boy
EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first one was good, the second one was bad and the third one was terrible. That means the fourth one will blow donky cock.
Everyone get your tickets early!

I wont see this movie if Geoffrey Rush doesn't return as Captain Barbosa

I couldn't care less about the loss of Bloom. Kiera's a little sad, but after her becoming "The Pirate King" in 3 I'm pretty much done with her.
Tim Burton could be interesting... it depends on if he's going to be in GOOD TIM BURTON (Batman, PeeWee, Nightmare, Scissor Hands) mode or BAD TIM BURTON (Ed Wood, Mars Attacks, Michael Jackson & The Chocolate Factory) mode.

So is Sasha Baron Cohen going to ask Jack Sparrow insane questions and wrestle naked with Jack?

Pirates 4: The Secret of the OOze
Shia LaBouf as Spike Sparrow.

My god some of your clown's are painfully retarded. "Epic fail"? Is that seriously hip and edgy to some of you still?
This movie can simply pick right up where the 3rd ended, and introducing a few new characters would be great. The movies had their flaws, but two big ones won't be back, and it can stay fresh and move in another direction.

I won't go if I Orlando Bloom isn't in the movie. He's my favorite flavored slurpee!
Posted By: Darth Mortis (Guest) on October 09, 2008 at 02:31 PM
I love the Pirate movies but it will not be the same with out Knightley and Bloom. The chemestry between Depp, Bloom and Knightley made the movies. I might have to pass on this one.

@ Barb

Posted By: alexa (Guest) on October 10, 2008 at 10:34 AM
They cant not hav Orlando Bloom or Kiera Knightly. The movie wuld b sooo weird. I dont care who the director is as long as its a good movie. But they cant not hav Orlando or Kiera. Either way i thinks its gunna b an awsome movie. It will b sooo cool wen it comes out though. Itll still b a shame not 2 hav Orlando or Kiera. Plus its there own shoice if there not in it. Evrybody whos talkin shit about it STFU!!! If u think the moviell b that bad then dont watch it. Grow up!!! Get ovr urselves!!! Its just a movie!!! U cant b talkin smack about it then say "by ur tickets early!" ur just sounding like a hipocrite

The trilogy ended on a fine note. There's no need for this.
