As On Stranger Tides enters post-production, we hear that Disney may be preparing to make two more Pirates Of The Caribbean movies...
The fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, On Stranger Tides, may be almost six months away, but there’s already talk of a further two instalments in the franchise. That’s according to Hit Fix, who have suggested that Disney is already making preparations for Pirates 5 and 6, with the aim of shooting them back to back - just as director Gore Verbinski did with Dead Man’s Chest and On Stranger Tides.
Disney is clearly expecting big things from On Stranger Tides, which reportedly finished shooting on 19 November, and as Hit Fix points out, the fact that two further films are already being discussed is a sign that the film’s in pretty good shape.
With Johnny Depp’s schedule full next year, as he films Dark Shadows and The Lone Ranger, it’s unlikely that the next Pirates movies will begin production until at least 2012. At any rate, we could be seeing plenty more Jack Sparrow adventures soon, if the rumour proves to be true.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will arrive in cinemas on 20 May 2011.
