I’m so terribly, terribly sorry.
Production has officially commenced today on Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films’Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales! The fifth entry in the blockbuster franchise inspired by the classic Disney Theme Parks attraction is directed by Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning (Kon-Tiki) and will film entirely at Village Roadshow Studios and on locations within Queensland, Australia.
Johnny Depp returns to his iconic, Academy Award-nominated role as Captain Jack Sparrow, newly joined by Oscar winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Skyfall), rising young stars Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner, “Skins”), Brenton Thwaites (Maleficent, The Giver) and Golshifteh Farahani (The Patience Stone, Exodus: Gods and Kings). Rejoining the action are Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa, Kevin R. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs and Stephen Graham as Scrum.
And things were going so well, too.
*shrugs* #4 entertained me, even if not a full match of it’s potential. It was refreshing after the mess of ham that was #2-3. There is an off chance that it Might Not Suck.
Shut up. You know that you’ll go see the movie.
…Yeah. Yeah, I will.
*looks*
Not Marvel?
*ignores*
Enjoyed the first one. Saw the second, didn’t see any subsequent movies…
Could be worse. They could be making a sequel to The Haunted Mansion.
Could be worse than that, they could be making a Fifty Shades sequel.
I liked The Haunted Mansion….
I like Geoffrey Rush and all, but I’m f’ing sick of Barbossa. That was my biggest complaint regarding #4.
.
Look, I *loved* the first movie, and Barbossa was a great villain. Then they brought him back at the end of #2 for reasons that seemed to be “He had a great villain” and then they turned him into a sorta-kinda protagonist. Add to this the fact that 2 and 3 were ungainly, disjointed, and needed to be a single movie anyway, and UGH. So honestly, I’d just like to believe that 2 and 3 never happened…
.
AND THEN THEY BRING BARBOSSA BACK IN #4 TO REMIND ME OF THE FAILURES OF 2 AND 3. Worse, now he’s working for the British Navy, and I’m just…
.
Look, all I want is a POTC movie with just Depp and NO ONE ELSE from the previous movies. Is that too much to ask?
From your keyboard to Hollywood’s ears …
.
Unfortunately, what you ask for would pretty much require replacing Hollywood with .. good writers, smart producers, talented directors …

Its for the Children.
Ah, that explains it. It’s Child Abuse.
