Considering that the franchise comprises two of the top five highest-grossing movies of all-time, series co-star Geoffrey Rush thinks making another “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie would be a “a pre-ordained license to print money,” he joked.
Luckily enough for producers, then, the Oscar winner says he’s even got a story.
“[Finding the Fountain of Youth] would be a fun thing to do,” Rush declared, referencing the coda to “At World’s End,” where Jack Sparrow is seen with a map to the fabled spring. “[I could] drink the elixir and suddenly turn into Orlando Bloom. It’ll be a comedy!”
“And then I get the girl and the elixir wears off,” he continued, a large smile on his face. “There’s a story. Shoot that!”
But despite a willingness to get back on board (literally) as the devious Captain Barbossa, Rush nevertheless thinks a fourth “Pirates” is a long way off.
“I know there’s some website that says it’s confirmed, but no one’s phoned me yet officially. I think they’ll leave it for a while,” he said. “Jack Sparrow’s become such a popular character – he’s almost more popular at Disney now than Mickey Mouse for a certain generation. But I don’t think any of the creative team, would be interested if the ideas were dull or the script was mercenary or purely commercially driven.”
Who would you want to return for a fourth “Pirates” film? And where would you like to see the crew go? Sound off below.
In a story that goes over a good amount of time it's only to be expected some people may move on, that's life and it may be a fantasy story but..there ya go.
Secondly, there's a whole load of Geoffrey Rush fans out there, me one of them and for us it will be fantastic to see more Barbossa.
The interaction between Jack and Barbossa is great and this story could make for such fun between them in the fourth movie.
I'm for it!
@cathy: I conform to your oppinion...
@Jessica: yeah...it´s true...Orlando und Keira said that they don´t want to make a 4th pirates movie.
Johnny said if it´s a good story then he will take part in...
I love Pirates, but don´t want them to make a 4th movie, because without Orly and Keira it´s not the same...so...
The only thing I'd be okay with would be prequels to see what Sparrow did before the adventures in POTC. I heard they already wrote books about that, so they have their story there.
I would love to see them come up with a story that gets Will off the Flying Dutchman so he and Elizabeth can live happily ever after, but I'm thinking someone will have to convince Keira and Orlando to participate!
If there is a 4th, I'll be there and if they premiere it at Disneyland, I'll buy another ticket. These Pirates know how to have a good time!!
It Could just tie up everything.
Elizabeth and the kid could go to the fountain of youth and live forever, and sail on the flying dutchman with will, traveling back and fourth between the two worlds. Jack and his crew could Drink and do the same, going through tortuga. But their should be a new person that takes the place of someone like Lord Cutler Beckett, to try and stop them. and it be a Huge race between all the pirates to get to the Fountain first. and of Course Jack wins with all of his crew. and they have to show tortuga somewhere.
But the more you think about it. the harder it is to think of some kind of idea. but seeing Johnny Depp is awesome.
think that they should wait 2 or 3 years before making it. Because they waited a little bit after they made the first one to make the second one and they did a good job.Plus they need to let the anticipation build up!! But the entire cast needs to be in it or else it just would not be the same at all!!
he is always thinking of a crazzy plan
