Scoop: Tim Burton Might Direct Pirates 4

By Katey Rich: 2008-10-07 22:48:56
Scoop: Tim Burton Might Direct Pirates 4 Big, big news on the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie, courtesy of one of our most reliable tipsters. Our proven informant (who we're forced to keep anonymous) wants you to know the following info should be taken with a "grain of salt and a dose of pepper," things are still in motion, but here goes anyway. Wondering how they're going to make a whole Pirates movie with just Jack Sparrow? Or who else might return? Read on!

Most excitingly, there are talks of Captain Jack having a brother in the next movie, possibly to be played by Sacha Baron Cohen (perfect!) or Russell Brand (even more perfect!) Of course, that's probably just fantasy casting, but why would either of those comedians turn the role down? As we've mentioned before, the new movie might kick off a trilogy, which would revolve around Captain Jack's search for the Fountain of Youth.

Geoffrey Rush and director Gore Verbinski are apparently both planning to return, but... and this is a big maybe... Tim Burton might direct instead. Tim Burton! If there is a single director who could make people excited for a fourth Pirates movie, it has to be Burton. He's done so many amazing movies with Depp already, and might have the ability to make the new franchise as fresh and exciting as it was when the first movie came out. After all, Tim Burton is already making a movie for Disney, and if Alice in Wonderland is going well, you can see how they'd want to hang on to him

Again, this information is all up in the air, and could change at any moment. But still, this is the best news we've heard about the next Pirates movie, and pretty much the magic bullet it'll take to make most of us care. Russell Brand, get on the phone with your agent, and make this happen!

  • I don't like the second and the third sequel of Pirate, it's so meaningless....I guess, I agree when Tim Burton directs the 4th sequel

  • YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    the movie will be elexent
    the need to do it!!!!!
  • As much as I love Russell Brand, I don't think he'd be great as Sparrow's brother, although it'd be interesting to see. I like the sound of a brother joining the story.

    To be honest, I'd rather see Gore Verbinski continue to direct. His last 3 films were great. Let sjust hope the 4th (and maybe 5th/6th) are as good as those..

  • NO TIM BURTON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless maybe he's a co-director. but that makes for problems.
  • NO TIM BURTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless maybe he's a co-director. But that makes for problems.
  • The second one was the worst and the third just dragged on. They're going to kill it with a fourth.

    I'm not saying i won't see it in theaters opening week.
  • Okay, if Gore is coming back (the original director) then why would Tim be directing?
  • Sandy, you are totally wrong! Johnny is flamming! I think he looks better now than he did back in 21 Jump Street days.
  • Yes!!! ORLANDO BLOOM - oh Will Turner has to come back. I would throw away a life in royalty to live beside him a pirate any day.
  • Tim Burton directing the movie alone would give me reason to watch it.
    However, I pretty much refuse to pay money to see it if Russell Brand is in it. Ugh. Maybe if you paid ME, I would, but otherwise...no.
    And I agree with Sandy...Rob Pattinson would be an awesome choice. Rob is going to be a big star, and he already has a great deal many fans--he would definitely draw in a crowd.
  • Oh yes! PLEASE LET THIS BE BASED IN FACT!!!! I love Tim SO much, it would be AMAZING. Him and Johnny are just amazing together. Perhaps they could rope Helena into it too... The Holy Trio, together again =)

    But if this is in fact merely gossip, then at least we have Alice to look forward to, right? Sigh, if I had my way Tim would direct every movie.... Like, ever. He is the closest to God you can get, seriously. YAY FOR TIMOTHY WILLIAM BURTON!
  • It needs a sexy young Brit in it too. Depp and Cohen/Brand wont get enough females in. Depp's a bit old to lust after now.

    They could have someone like Rob Pattinson
  • well, i must say i love tim burton, but this really doesn't seem like his type of movie. I mean, his are quirky and cute and a little bit sinister, but this is a big epic action adventure movie. It's not in his style at all. Well, I'd be interested to see what it would turn out like, anyway.
    I just hope that if they do make Pirates 4, they make Jack a little less drunk. He just got more and more insane throughout the movies. I think they should revert him back to more like he was in the first movie. Still insane and drunk-ish, but smart and clever, not running away from a scary octopus. More like he's sort of in control of the situation like in Pirates 1. yeah. I'm just glad Orlando Bloom will be gone.

  • This is just a made-up story. Notice the 3 names are the ones currently hawking the majority of press time conversation with Disney and current projects. Cohen, Burton and Russell Brand tied with Depp. Pirates won't be made without Rush or Gore. Don't expect it until 2012 at the earliest...WITHOUT any involvement from the previously listed 3 names. Good story to get the bloggers going though!!
  • The first was great. The 2nd was terrible. The 3rd was almost unwatchable. I only made it through half and have no desire to find out what happened.

    I think they should remake 2 and 3, forget about 4...
  • that is AWESOME. exactly what pirates 4 NEEDS
  • ed burton dope....that sacha actor, who the hell is he? Oh okay Borat...hahaha, maybe he would work...they should find someone that would have good drunken swashbucklin chemistry like Jack Sparrow...Mike Myers? hehe...That dude can play almost any character thrown at him...Anyway, they should find someone that has the expertise, and go good as a pirate...A prequel sounds like a banger, then again, what if the first three were a prequel and the search for the fountain of youth was the actual event taking place or actual sequel trilogy? In reverse, kinda like Star Wars, yet the opposite way...With a new an even more formiddable foe, than the villain in the second and third films...They should bring back the Kraken, the humongous squid like octopus...that would be the shit...!!! They should lean toward a more spanish background story, and lavish scenery for this flick, how about throwing the bermuda triangle or the sunken city of atlantis into the story? Cortez? Or A humogous hammerhead shark...hehe, theres infinite possibilities...Anyway all the pirate films were dope, I just felt the giant sized voo doo priestess scene of calypso was a lil over the top!!!! The ending scene in At Worlds End, felt kinda like the Little Mermaid when they have the Ursula character get all huge and then theres a whirlpool...hehe....Anyway to make this short....Go Pirates 4!!! Lets do this!!!!
  • YES YES YES!!!!

    I HOPE TIM DOES IT!! AHHH!!!

    But I don't want sacha baron cohen. Anybody but him, or some other stupid comedian. They should get some hot actor, because Johnny's hot, why not have a hot brother?
  • just to correct ignorance, Tim Burton STARTED the Batman franchise (Joel Schumacher killed it)

    Orlando and Kiera were dead weight-anyone can play those parts...
  • You are such a fucking downer.
    the last one was a classic in my opinion, with better acting all around.
  • Well I hope that another film comes along, its good for business, I am a pirate at heart and Jonnie Depp would give Errol Flyn a ran for his money
  • They should not do a 4th one, they should a a prequel instead. If they did a 4th one it would just be the same shit all over again but with the fountain of youth. A prequel would tell a much better story.
