Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides Out 2011
At Disney's D23 Fan Expo in Anaheim, California today, Walt Disney announced that the fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, will feature Johnny Depp, Miley Cyrus, John Travolta, and Tim Burton and will storm theaters summer of 2011.
Johnny Depp, who made a surprise appearance in gliding replica of the Black Pearl pirate ship, will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow. The fourth film is expected to follow sparrow's adventure to find the Foutain of Youth, which was a treasure revealed at the conclusion of the third film.
"I'm looking for a talking Frog," Depp mumbled to the crowd of 5,000 or so fans assembled for the expo. "I like frogs."
While some people are wondering what "On Stranger Tides" means, a pirate novel with the same title has been noticed, though it remains unknown as to whether the novel is related to the upcoming film. Here is the synopsis of the novel:
Puppeteer John Chandagnac, bound for Jamaica to recover stolen money from his uncle, becomes Jack Shandy after pirates attack his ship and force him to join their crew. Shandy’s struggle to accept his new life grounds the story for readers, even as Blackbeard and vodun magicians whisk everyone away to dreamlike lands where the Fountain of Youth itself awaits. The chaotic sea battles sing, though at times key events happen so quickly that they get lost in the shuffle as Jack tries to comprehend where he’s going and what’s at stake.
Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has pulled in more than $1 billion in domestic box office. Disney has previously said that their plan is for Pirates 4 to “hopefully be the first of another trilogy,” meaning that it would be shot by itself instead of back-to-back like the previous Pirates sequels. It still remains unknown as to who the director will be. The shooting will begin around spring 2010.

Thank you! I hate her, but now shes here, ruining our fandom!

What a horrible thing to wish that someone die. How would you feel if someone wished that on you or someone you loved? What a hateful person you must be. Shame on you!

why MILEY?!!!! She is a terrible actress. I was looking forward to the new Pirates but now im not so sure. Does she have to be included in every disney film??? Seriously...
at 11:02 on September 12th, 2009
i agree with you all the way. she rely doesnt deserve to be in such a great movie with such successful actors who made a name for themselves with other great movies not from having a dumb boring show on disney channel that only entertian the feeble mind.

this is going to be just as good as the first 3, can't wait to see it.
at 04:57 on September 12th, 2009
Depp has done a super job in this role, as have all the actors from the previous pirates films, I hope to see more of them as well....thank you pirates!

I'm a huge Johnny Depp fan and I'de just like to say that the 4th Pirate film is going to be just as good as the other 3...but for 1 thing I agree with Josh in what he said about Miley Cyrus I bet her daddy payed her way in2 getting in2 this film I think a Professional actress should have gotten the part, Miley's part would probably to play a saloon skank,would be nice to see Capt Jack wearing a diffently outfit and there be more romantic parts for him this time to show what a great kisser that Capt Jack can be;-) Sincerely A Capt Jack Fan Alma I Kelly of Bradford Pa.

best movies ever

To the people who are putting down Miley Cyrus on her acting. I just have one quesstion for you Do you think that Johnny Depp and John Travolta are good actors? Where do you think they started out on TV. 21 Jump Street for Johnny Deep and Welcome Back Kotter for John Travolta. So just think before you open your mouth about people. Have a good day.

dont even compare those shows to hers nothing could EVER be worst than hanna montana nothing. and by the way jonny is a great actor and never say miley can amount to him hes done too many great movies
at 08:10 on September 12th, 2009
No one cares what you think! She needs to pay her dues before she messes up this new film for the Pirate lovers out there.
at 09:40 on September 12th, 2009
No one cares what you think either! You're opinion isnt the only one that matters. Maybe you need to live in a communist country because you obviously think like one

I love all of the Pirates movies. I think Miley Cyrus will be a great addition to the film! While I am not a HUGE fan of hers, many people ARE including lots of little kids that will drag their parents to the movies just to see her. These are the same parents that will buy lots of toys related to this film. To all of you rude people out there...please remember that she is just 16 and has feelings! I think that you are just jealous because she is more successful at 16 than you will EVER be! Hating someone and wanting them to die just because you don't like there acting abilities just shows how ignorant you are! Grow up and get a LIFE! Rock on Miley.
at 11:05 on September 12th, 2009
im 16 and i have feelings and they were crushed when i heard that thing was gonna be in this movie
at 18:58 on November 27th, 2009
She may be 16 and a very successful person, but the ONLY reason she is so successful is because of her dad. If it werent for her precious lil daddy she would still be NOTHING.

Love, The first three movies, HATE Miley Cyrus, I will not spend one dollar on this new one. Too bad Disney had to sell out to the 11 year old movie goers. What a waste of Johnny Depps time. ( even he can not save this film from her hill-billy overacting )
at 08:33 on September 12th, 2009
Anita Milare, I totally agree with you. These people are just jealous! :)
at 10:06 on September 12th, 2009
Why would Disney ruin a great film with adding Miley Cyrus.... I for one saw this and thought....'what a bad choice of actress'. I dont think I will go see this one because of her.
at 10:15 on September 12th, 2009
ummm, why the hell would disney even THINK of putting miley cyrus on the same set as the great johnny depp. i was excited about this movie up until now. what a way to ruin a great thing.
at 10:21 on September 12th, 2009
Oh yes, I'm very jealous- that my daddy can't afford to make me famous.
at 10:35 on September 12th, 2009
I truly enjoy Johnny Depp movies he is just wonderful and(C. Jack) is so good looking. it makes me want to be a pirate! AND yes they do not need John T. or Miley in the move to make it any better; Depp is the only one they need to make this movie great like the others and I have all the priate movies and if there will be another I will buy this one also along with any others to come!!
at 10:54 on September 12th, 2009
wtf i why does dumbass miley have to ruin everything. i was hoppin for anyother pirates movie too come out and then she has too ruin my favorite movies with her horrible acting. i am soooo pissed off ugh just jump off a huge cliff already ratface.

Who cares about Miley Cyrus anyway? I pay about as much attention to her as I do to the so called "commander in chief" and his ugly, ugly wife. Johnny Depp is by far the most talented actor in Hollywood today, not to mention the sexiest, cutest guy around. He can carry any movie by himself, but Travolta might be OK. What about reprising Keith Richards role as Johnny's dad? His little cameo part was actually pretty good. By the way, I don't like Keira Knightly either. If you have ever seen her on a talk show, you can't understand a word she says.

don't like Keira Knightly either. If you have ever seen her on a talk show, you can't understand a word she says. theres a thing called subtitles maybe you should use it
at 11:54 on September 12th, 2009
I can"t believe Miley Cyrus will be in the next Pirate movie! She can't act! I can see that this isn't a good sign. It is bad enough Gore Verbinski won't be directing. It is going to be like Miley's silly program.
at 11:56 on September 12th, 2009
miley is NOT going to be in it. she was just on stage when they announced it. disney's stupid but not THAT stupid. however i did hear a rumor that zac efron was gonna be in it....... that would suck.
