New details on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise --this time in Disney Digital 3D. In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penélope Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love--or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
Rush reprises his role as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa, and Kevin McNally returns as Captain Jack's longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs. Claflin stars as a stalwart missionary, while Berges-Frisbey is transformed into a mysterious mermaid.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is written by Pirates veterans Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio. The executive producers are Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, Barry H. Waldman, Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio and John M. Deluca.

@TheFallen: I read somewhere once that the Black Pearl was once an EITC slave ship that Jack was made captain of when he was allied with Beckett, but the moral Jack let the slaves go, ergo Endeavor sank the Pearl, leaving Beckett to brand Jack and be humiliated at having endorsed his captainship in the first place. Then an escape from execution landed him an audience with DJ, and the rest was history. Though I've read conflicting things too, such as the Pearl being the wicked wench first before the sinking--the same ship in the D-Land ride. But idk what the truth is. But they probably forgot to reveal it rather than having purposely left in out of AWE, for then they'd never have alluded to it in DMC.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (Part 3) was just bad....Very forgettable ...Just Part 4 I will wait for Redbox $1.00 rental!!

This could be bad, or this vcould be good!! Just very burnt out on Johnny Depp!

They should find another female cast than Penelope Cruz,.. i just cant swallow her after those horrible make up comercials.. i fringe when i hear "because you`re worth it" in her spanish accent, they should focus on british actors!! IMHO.. i agree with you KoaNoshi on this point.. She`s horrible.. she ain`t even that hot!!

@Sly, I know. I had a theory that Jack used to be in the British Fleet or as a young pirate had an encounter with the young Beckett. we may never know now, but heres hoping they reference it. Another thing is will they have the two British officers who we last saw a turning pirate? That would be fun.

@TheFallen: Very true. They seemed to be established enough such that one didn't ultimately require the other to be in the film, but unfortunately, that's the road they're taking.
I'd be interested in hearing the backstory between Beckett & Sparrow as it was alluded to in DMC, but not revealed in AWE, only implied with no revelations. Same with how Jack came to sell his soul for the Black Pearl. All would've made intriguing flashbacks. But if this is to be good, then I hope it's a stand alone flick.

It would have been great if they come back for this film, they made their contribution (funny ones) to pirates and it would be interesting if they comeback for this last film. But hey, here or not, the movie is going to rock.

@AVATARSEQUEL & @TheFallen: No, Pintel & Ragetti won't return, as Ragetti (wooden eye) didn't want to return, and Lee Arenberg isn't on the cast list, which makes sense since they were a duo.

At least the writers are back. Story sounds promising, but it's in how Marshall executes it that will make or break the film.
