Pirates Of The Caribbean | featured news

The re-engineered "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel "On Stranger Tides" found its smoothest sailing overseas, where it took in a record $256.3 million at the international box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. "On Stranger Tides," the fourth "Pirates" installment, earned $90.1 million domestically.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed today that the teaser trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is scheduled to hit theaters with TRON: Legacy on December 17. With both films being released in 3D and IMAX 3D, we assume the teaser will be shown in the format for those specific theaters and in 2D in conventional theaters.

I think this has probably been stated before, but Orlando Bloom recently officially confirmed that he will NOT be returning for the soon-to-be-filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."

During the Sundance Film Festival, MTV News caught up with actor Orlando Bloom and put that very question to him — but according to the actor, his days as Will Turner are over. "No, definitely not," he said when asked if he'd return for the fourth "Pirates" movie.

Following the recent departure of Disney studio chief Dick Cook, Johnny Depp admitted to being less enthusiastic about returning to the role of Captain Jack Sparrow for "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" ("Pirates" part 4, for those who lost count). And the fans in turn admitted that they'd give up on the franchise ...

The actress has insisted that she is 'done' with the franchise.
