Johnny Depp is not officially signed up for a fifth Pirates movie, but another Pirates movie is on the horizon. Terry Rossio (who has wrote all the Pirates movies and is also writing the new Lone Ranger movie) is scribbling away on a script as you read this. On Stranger Tides director, Rob Marshall, like Depp, hasn’t signed up yet, but has signed a new two year deal with Disney.
Marshall had this to offer “Terry [Rossio] is writing it and he’s working incredibly hard and he did a draft and rethought it all and started working on it again. You want to make sure you are asking the audience to come back to see an exciting adventure and it has to reach that caliber, and if not there’s no reason to do it. I know Johnny feels the same way: He needs to see a script, but he would be happy — if it’s the right script — to put that hat and sword back on.”
So another Pirates movie, well make that two, as the sixth movie is due to come ashore in 2014. Aarrrrrr. Or maybe that should be Aaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!
