'Captain Jack Sparrow to sail a fourth time AS A Pirate of the Caribbean.

Captain Jack Sparrow will sashay around the 7 seas for a fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean pirate series, as confirmed by Jerry Bruckheimer. Jack Sparrow's pirate ship the black pearl

I’m sure they have taken to heart all the lovely money they have made for Disney et al and can’t seem to resist another installment.

Talk like a Pirate Day

We as fans have become rabid about Pirates. We dress like pirates, talk like pirates. We even have a “Talk like a pirate day” in which everyone at work Googles how to talk like a pirate or goes out on the town with their “mates” to have a swashbuckling good time.

This is the Pirate dog for the movies, Pirates of the Caribbean.

Sequels to movies are always iffy. I can think of one (Aliens) who did a darn good job of it with theirs. But for Pirates of the Caribbean to fly forth again it’s going to have to give us more Johnny Depp, or should I say more Jack Sparrow. Because that's what we ladies want. He’s good looking, a cute drunk and very brave as long as he has his rum.

Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp is key to any Pirates 4, 5 or 6. Fortunately for his fans, Depp has stated he'd be up for more high seas action.

We don’t think Sparrow’s dad, Keith Richards will be in the forth episode as I think once was enough for this seemingly grandpa of rock.

"He was great to be with. He didn't want to leave; he was having the best time,".

Is his head OK after he fell out of a tree in Fiji?

"Apparently."

And for any of you producers, screen writers, directors and anyone planning on investing in the Pirates series, it’s best to know that we watch it for Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. To many of us there is a huge distinction. Many people are Jack Sparrow fans and do not even watch other Johnny Depp movies. It should be wise to remember this. We want more romance, more open shirts, more kissing of wenches and more of Jack Sparrow swaying around ships, shores, pubs, fighting, brawling, drinking, saving and talking.

“There, I’ve said it and feel the better for it!”

Pirates of the Carribean 4

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.
