A few updates:
The Storyline: On Stranger Tides

This doesn't bode well. On Stranger Tides is a great story (I even based a PC on Woefully Fat)

I'm not at all happy with the idea of it getting a Disney makeover for a Jack Sparrow re-interpretation

If it's a good story, so what? It's all just entertainment in the end.

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.

Well, it seems I was a little off; ah well . I guess he's been doing charity work for a bit though, which is great.

It's a shame he dropped out of An Education; it's supposedly a really good film.

PotC 4, 5 and 6

 

[Thunderfoot]

Sri I'm late to the party so I'll try to sum up everything without making this post 5000 words long:

PoC: 1 - great movie, 2 meh, 3 - sux city... (400 ships on the water and only two of them battle in the "decisive" battle, so why did they need to recruit the eastern pirates if they just sit there and watch?)

Turners - done - yeah, I'm glad. (as for the teenie bopper reference and Orlando Bloom, don't tell my wife that - she's hardly a teen and he's on her "free pass" list)

4 - I'm leery. The story it's supposedly based on is good, but Sparrow and Shandy are supposed to be completely different characters and yet Sparrow is still the main character in the movie? Color me skeptical.

5 & 6 - I hope 4 tanks so that Disney re-thinks it's funding for these, especially if they are doing the long movie like 2 & 3 as reported...

Don't think I missed anything, if so, I'm sure y'all will let me know.

 

[Orius]

They're pretty confident.

Hoping a movie sucks? Does not compute.

If PotC 4 goes back to the roots of the first Pirates of the Carribean movie, focus on piratey goodness, I will watch it. Otherwise skip-city.

It's funny watching this thread over 2 years time. I still stand that PotC 4 should have been a prequel; perhaps an origin story of Captain Jack.

I don't think an origin for Captain Jack would be very good. Jack Sparrow doesn't strike me as the kind of character that needs an origin, IMO. It seems like it would fail to be as awesome and entertaining as just having Jack show up on a sinking ship.
