That's right, a fourth installment. It's about the quest for the Fountain of Youth. Involves Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and his daughter (Penelope Cruz), who is Sparrow's love interest.

Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are the only ones not returning, saying that they feel their characters' story(ies) are over. Pretty much everyone else is coming back, though.

Release date is set for March 20, 2011.

Anyone interested?

Awesome. I can't wait.

Depends. Maybe.

sounds interesting. I'm up for it.

Admittedly, I just liked the Pirate series, I didn't love it. I've only seen Curse of the Black Pearl twice. The others only once each. Fun franchise, but I'd be up for a fourth if it is, obviously, good.

The goal being the fountain of youth is a nice touch though. I'll probably end up watching it since Depp is in it (I tend to watch anything he shows up in).

I love the franchise, and can't wait for a 4th installment. It doesn't bother me in the slightest that Will and Elizabeth won't be around. They were never that interesting to me. I liked them, but I didn't love them. For me it was all about Jack and Barbossa.

QFT

McShane as Blackbeard FTW.

^ Mhrm!

So grizzled. Heh.

I'll watch it, hopefully it's as good as the first and not as meh as the third. They did the smart thing and took off the extra baggage (Bloom and Knightley--no disrespect, I like 'em but their story's over) and gave us more of what we want (Depp--who we had plenty of already but always need more of--and Rush). Wish they used the Zoe Saldana's character from the first film as the love interest instead, but oh well.

YES! I was pretty upset to not see her again. Liked her. She'd fit in, I think. But Cruz, Blackbeard's daughter, seems to be the love interest.

I liked her too, she really did fit in. Maybe they'll get her in, but yeah, probably won't be love interest. Pity, they should use her while they still have the chance, because who knows where her career will go after Avatar & Star Trek.

Who's Penelope Cruz? Sorry, don't watch a whole lot of movies, I'm not familiar with her.

I'm indifferent. Personally haven't seen her in too many things.

Well, she's definitely attractive! I looked her up, she's been nominated academy awards a couple of times and she won one as well. Until we can judge via trailer, sounds good!

Can't wait for Pirates 4.
Woo hoo!

I really fucking like everything about that. Subtitle, plot, new characters.

Yes please.

Ian McShane makes everything better.

I liked the first one
Part 2 was okay
