Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 Rumors Laughed At By Writer
From CinemaBlend.com:
"The past few weeks have been big for Pirates of the Caribbean sequel news. We’ve heard that more Pirates are happening, Johnny Depp is back and making more than $50 million, and with information delivered by one of our most proven sources we told you here that Disney was considering Tim Burton to direct and either Sacha Baron Cohen or Russell Brand to co-star in at least one of the future Caribbean flicks. Unfortunately, Terry Rossio says it’s all hogwash.
Who is Terry Rossio? He had a hand in writing not only all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but many other recent Disney blockbusters as well. Speaking out on the forums at Wordplay, Rossio says: “For the record, none of the recent Pirates 4 rumors have any truth, including the so-called record 50 million dollar payday for Depp.” He then goes on to address our specific story directly saying, “Some pretty funny stuff, though. Sacha Cohen? Tim Burton? Studios are way too protective of their franchises for that sort of thing.”
Rossio did write all three Pirates movies, so he should have the inside track, shouldn’t he? Maybe not. First off, there’s been no sign that Rossio is actually involved in the fourth film, and even if he was, you’d have to wonder why as a screenwriter he’d be privy to the dollar amounts of Johnny Depp’s contract negotiations. That seems somewhat unlikely.
Then there’s Rossio’s own logic to consider. He claims Disney would be too protective of its franchise to involve Tim Burton in a Pirates movie. Apparently Rossio missed the recent announcement where Disney signed multi-picture deals with Burton and then summarily handed him the keys to just about everything in the Magic Kingdom, except that is for Pirates of the Caribbean. There have already been rumblings that Gore Verbinski may not want to return, if he doesn’t, what’s Disney supposed to do with its fourth movie? Sit on it? They have to get a director, and you can’t hire a new director by clutching your franchise to your chest and hiding in a Space Mountain janitor’s closet. It only makes sense to go with a company man, a company man with a reputation as a premiere talent and a proven ability to handle a properly piratical tone. Why not Tim Burton? For that matter why not Sacha Baron Cohen? They brought in Bill Nighy for the second movie, I guess Borat is scarier than the guy who sang naked, horny Christmas songs in Love Actually.
For now, there’s no way to know which direction Disney will jump with their next batch of Pirates movies, except to say that Johnny Depp will be in them while Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom will not. Of course if you’d been paying attention, we told you that somewhere back in summer of 2007, long before Keira hitched up her corset and went before the media to tell us all she’s done sogging around in the ocean. We’ve reconfirmed it with our sources, and they still tell us that Burton is being considered for the directing job, as are Cohen and Brand for Depp’s sidekick. In fact, both our scoop and the rumor of Depp’s big paycheck have since been further confirmed by the Daily Record, where they now insist that in addition to Johnny’s $50 mil, Russell Brand actually has landed the part and will earn $8.5 million. Sorry Rossio, we’re standing on pretty solid ground for this one. "

Tim Burton Might Direct Pirates of the Caribbean 4
From Cinemablend.com:
"Big, big news on the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie, courtesy of one of our most reliable tipsters. Our proven informant (who we're forced to keep anonymous) wants you to know the following info should be taken with a "grain of salt and a dose of pepper," things are still in motion, but here goes anyway. Wondering how they're going to make a whole Pirates movie with just Jack Sparrow? Or who else might return? Read on!
Most excitingly, there are talks of Captain Jack having a brother in the next movie, possibly to be played by Sacha Baron Cohen (perfect!) or Russell Brand (even more perfect!) Of course, that's probably just fantasy casting, but why would either of those comedians turn the role down? As we've mentioned before, the new movie might kick off a trilogy, which would revolve around Captain Jack's search for the Fountain of Youth.
Geoffrey Rush and director Gore Verbinski are apparently both planning to return, but... and this is a big maybe... Tim Burton might direct instead. Tim Burton! If there is a single director who could make people excited for a fourth Pirates movie, it has to be Burton. He's done so many amazing movies with Depp already, and might have the ability to make the new franchise as fresh and exciting as it was when the first movie came out. After all, Tim Burton is already making a movie for Disney, and if Alice in Wonderland is going well, you can see how they'd want to hang on to him
Again, this information is all up in the air, and could change at any moment. But still, this is the best news we've heard about the next Pirates movie, and pretty much the magic bullet it'll take to make most of us care. Russell Brand, get on the phone with your agent, and make this happen!"

Geoffrey Rush in Pirates of the Caribbean 4?
From Comingsoon.net:
"[...] ComingSoon.net was given a rare opportunity to talk to Geoffrey Rush, the celebrated Oscar-winning actor who's no stranger to sequels and franchises, which spurred us to ask for his thoughts on the possibilities of him and Johnny Depp returning for a fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. Even though some were disappointed with Pirates of Caribbean: At World's End, it has grossed $960 million worldwide, more than any other movie this year, so making a fourth movie must be something on a lot of minds.
"I think people will let it sit for a while," he told us. "There's a strange attitude about franchise movies. People look at them as that rather than storytelling. Back in the old days, how many Thin Man movies did William Powell end up doing? Probably five or six. How many road movies did Bob and Bing end up doing over 25-year period? There could be a point… because Jack Sparrow is probably now to a certain generation more well known as a representative of the Disney imagination than Mickey Mouse himself and Johnny's performance in that role is such an extraordinary thing… that it may pop up."
