Pirates of the Caribbean 4 - Coming in 2011

I'm fine with this--as long as it doesn't involve Will Turner or Elizabeth (Swan) Turner.

There's plenty more that can be done with Jack Sparrow and Barbossa, but the tale of the Turners is done, thanks.

Exactly. Too many threads in the 2nd and 3rd movie that did not involve Jack Sparrow and the movies suffered as a result of it. I didn't give a damn about what happened to Will and Elizabeth, always more curious about what was going on with Jack.

I'm kind of nervous at the thought of a 4th movie, but if it's a type script, focuses on Sparrow, then it could be okay...even good

I seem to recall Kiera Knightly saying that she had no interest in doing another. But then, I'd read that she made scale for the first two and a big paycheck on the third, so if they wave enough money in her face...

Orlando Bloom's star seems to have faded a bit and I see only one "rumored" project on IMDB, so he might want to come back just for a paycheck and to put his face back out there for more work.

Otherwise, I agree with dropping the Turners. Four would obviously have to be about finding the Fountain of Youth, intimated at the end of 3, and that doesn't necessarily require either of the Turners (although it would fit nicely as an excuse for Miss Turner to be along).

Nah, let's find another girl for Jack to flirt and trade blows with.

As for Orlando, his star may be fading, but he can always make a comeback like John Travolta. After all, he's not Ben Affleck.

I'd say Orlando Bloom doesn't have many projects upcoming because he just got finished with an extremely large project. He probably wants a little time off, and has been kept too busy to do auditions and readings. I don't think he's a particularly good actor, but I'd be wary of saying his star is fading. If he doesn't work for a few years, then it might be more the case.

Won't bother me too much. And the silly teen girls gushing over him will be all grown up while a new generation will be gushing over the new pretty boy.

AFAIC, Orlando's better than Affleck ... Ben, not Casey.

Bloom has an incredibly limited range as an actor. Fine when you're playing a detached elf; not so great otherwise. Affleck can act circles around him, imo.

Hell dicaprio is still around, so who can tell.

Johnny Depp signed up for the next one for one simple reason -- he wants the money so that he and Terry Gilliam can get a second shot at making their Don Quixote movie.

Not the only reason. They are phenomenally successful movies so the payday is good, the star buzz is good - and - perhaps above all, Jack Sparrow earned Depp a nomination for "best actor".

Fortune, fame, freedom, critical respect. There's a lot to like and little to dislike about Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.

And yes, I'd love to see a 4th film with Depp searching for the fountain of youth.
