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.
If you're going to make a fourth, get the right people and make it good.
By the way, if they WILL have Elizabeth, odds are she won't be played by Knightley because she said she didn't feel like coming back.
Also, they said they would start a new film with a FINISHED script instead of making things up as they went and taking everything from there.
I do think that the writers and producers left themselves wide open to make another Pirates movie. Perhaps the story of Captain Jack and Captain Barbosa racing to see who can get to the Fountain of Youth. It would be, I think, more comical than action packed, like 2 and 3 were. But thats just my opinion.
(I could live without Jack, come on Ted & Terry, Orlando and Keira spin-off! Who needs Jack?)
i would love it
bbut i think all of the main characters (jack, will, and elizibeth) have to be in it
barbossa would be cool too johnney and keira and orlando have to be in it too
they left everyone hanging so i think they have to make a 4th one
they have to make a fourth movie because they left everybody hanging at the end of at worlds end
also jack will and elizibeth have to be in it
i heart pirates of the caribbean
