Pirates4 supposedly confirmed...
I came across this and a few other articles. I know we've all heard it being confirmed but this was the first to actually tell us something about the plot.
CinemaBlend got word from a scooper that "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is definitely on and will focus more on Johnny Depp's character, Jack Sparrow. Here is what the scooper had to say:
"the ending of Pirates 3, the fountain of youth story might not be the only story they might use for the next pirates film. The fountain story could be 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, an 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 Michael J. Fox voicing one of the characters)."
I'm guessing that the scooper is referring to Michael J. Fox's "Atlantis: The Lost Empire," which means that Jack Sparrow could be searching for the lost world of Atlantis.
The scooper also added that Johnny Depp will definitely return for a fourth installment, but so will Geoffrey Rush and director Gore Verbinski.
I found this interesting because on the charts we see the blades of herculis. I'm a mythology buff and if you're like me you would know that the blades are a sybological gateway to Atlantis. Meaning this article is either true or the people writing it have looked very carefully into the details.
