My good friend and fellow obsesser gave me the Johnny Depp life story book. This is what it says about POTC 3:
"Lord of the Rings," he [Terry Rossio] elaborates, "had the advantage that the third movie was the ultimate climax of the three, but in that case you finish the story. There's a sense of completion. You're not going to go back and revisit it, and that's what we're aiming for with Pirates--we were able to design 2 and 3 together, in conjunction with 1, to where our third movie should be and it is, I think, the end. There shouldn't be a fourth movie."
Conversely, Johnny Depp has gone on record as saying that he would welcome the opportunity to continue playing Captain Jack, but Rossio doesn't think it's likely. "Having spoken with Johnny, he will often says he wants to do a fourth and fifth, but I'm also telling you that the three movies we have designed are to end it. How would you do a fourth Lord of the Rings? You could, but it's not going to be that story. I probably shouldn't invoke Lord of the Rings because that's so brilliant, but if we're looking up to something, we looking up to that series."
Elliot concurs, "You could do a story about Jack Sparrow or a pirate movie in the same world that had this supernatural background, but this is the final Pirates of the Caribbean movie--this completes the story."

Status of 4th movie

Johnny Depp - not signed to any deal, not committed, but would certainly consider it, I think
Gore Verbinksi - not signed to any deal, not committed
All other actors - not signed
Ted and Terry - not signed to any deal
Jerry Bruckheimer - would very much like to have another movie
Disney - would like to have another movie under the right financial circumstances
Pirates fans - seemingly pretty much split on whether there should be a 4th movie

I guess for me, and this is coming from a fan girl who is utterly obsessed with the movies, it all depends on how World's End plays out and if all the actors/actresses would be back for a P4. I mean, the main reason I love these movies is because the plot line is so amazingly sketched out, but if a forth movie is going to have a weak plotline, I would have to say I'd be dissapointed.
