This weekend was the press junket for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, and there were driblets of news that came from the press conferences. Chief among them: Johnny Depp, despite showing hints of going rogue after Dick Cook left Disney, is all confirmed for Pirates the of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. “One thing that I found very reassuring was a very good conversation with Dick Cook,” Depp revealed. “[He] is someone who I admire greatly and, so yeah, that helped a lot. And also, knowing that we’re coming at it from a different angle at this point, with [director] Rob Marshall and totally new take, it’s a new story.”
That new story won’t involve Orlando Bloom or Keira Knightley, though. “There’s no Keira or Orlando in there,” he said. “[But] I don’t know. I don’t think we’d ever throw too much Jack Sparrow in there. There will be a little bit of everybody.”
I’d argue that they’ve already thrown too much Jack Sparrow in there, so I don’t know why they would pull back at this point. And without the other two heroes in place it seems quite likely that Sparrow will be taking up all the slack. It’s about time he had a romance, after all, isn’t it?

Pirates 3 ranks with the Matrix sequels as one of the big disapointments. They should make another one to just fix the bad taste of the third movie. Why not Jack finding the fountain of youth (explain him not aging) and teaming with Orlando's grown son to save dad from being the eternal captain of Davy Jones ship so as to save mom from marrying some rich evil a-hole (does it matter as long as he sneers and has a British accent?).

Perhaps they can bring Bloom back as Captain Jack's love interest.
I think they should just get a real prize winning nationally known director like uwe boll to do this movie… With his flare and cant fail attitude he could bring a spark back to this dieing franchise. Right along with him have Andy samburg play captain jack sparrow because hes good with the kids, and he would just look so hilarious with that goatee!
I think anything without Bloom is a better thing.
WHOAH! I confused Rob Marshall with Rob Cohen for a moment there. Stopped my fist an inch away from screen with no real drawback… beeline to the motherfucker.
Carry on.
