Disney is on the verge of putting Rob Marshall in as director of a fourth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” a move that puts the film on track for a 2010 production start, with Johnny Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney have been meeting with a number of directors in recent weeks, because the studio wants to pull the “Pirates” film together and have Depp star in it before he does “The Lone Ranger” for the producer and the studio. While Marshall’s involvement wasn’t immediately confirmed, sources said things look good enough that the studio has begun casting new characters that will appear in the picture.

It is big business for Disney, as the “Pirates” trilogy grossed $2.6 billion worldwide with Verbinski at the helm. Sources say unless things break down at the last moment, Marshall will be steering the pirate vehicle’s next installment.

Marshall, who made his feature directing debut with the Oscar-winning musical “Chicago,” most recently completed another musical, “Nine,” which stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Sophia Loren.

LOL those of you who don't like singing and dancing pirates should stay away, I have a feeling this means the next PoTC will be very similar to a musical in many ways.

Pirates 2 was just as good as part 1 imo. Part 3 tried so hard to be epic in scope that it lost sight of what made the franchise so much fun in the first place. Didnt like it too much. I'll watch it just because Depp is in it, though. Jack Sparrow is the man!

Mr.White · 07-31-2009, 07:17 PM

Rob Marshall will turn it into a musical like Sweeney Todd!

Has he even done a film since Chicago?

I didn't think so, they tossed too many characters into 3 for it to just all go away now, plus the sappy love story is finally over. Now they can just focus on the action and the jokes, assuming the next one isn't a pirate musical.

I see everyone's complaints and such about the movie, I just don't agree with them.

I didn't think it was too long, or "everywhere", or hard to follow, etc.

I loved it, all three are great with 1 being the least good imo.

i also liked all 3, i probably would go: 1, 3, & 2 as far as my order of favorite.

i would also like to see a 4th movie.

Uh, Rob ALREADY directed a non-musical, if you recall.
As to whether we ultimately get "Memoirs of a Pirate", however...that's a bit more of a concern.
