Will Disney Greenlight Pirates of the Caribbean 4: The Fountain of Youth?

Pirates of the Caribbean

Update: Pirates of the Caribbean 4 to Follow Captain Jack’s Search For Atlantis?

Despite not breaking Spidey’s record and some questionable accounting, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is another blockbuster success. And while the creative people involved have said that it is the last film in the trilogy, which might spin-off into future films (one of which is hinted in the last act of the film), nothing is guaranteed. Johnny Depp has said he would be game (but really, who could turn down a $40-50 million payday?), and the screenwriters have expressed interest. But now producer Jerry Bruckheimer is expressing some doubt about continuing the franchise.

“We’ve been working on this trilogy for 5 1/2 years, and the latest one was just a monster,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s always about making sure you have a great story with interesting plots, themes and characters. There is a possibility– we’ll see what happens.”

But fear not Pirates fans, when there is money to be made, Disney will be there - that is one thing you can ALWAYS count on. And to be quite honest: Captain Jack is what makes the Pirates movies worth watching. Keira and Orlando’s characters are boring at best. A spin-off film following Jack in search for the Fountain of Youth could be incredible. And this is coming from a guy who hated HATED Pirates 2.

    there just has to be a pirates of the caribbean 4!!!!! they can't just
    leave us wondering what happens to will and elizabeth after 10 years
    and their boy!!! plus, we have to know what happens to the fountain of
    youth with jack!!! they can't leave us hanging with so many questions still
    unanswered!!!
    even if it may take a while, i still believe that disney will make a pirates 4!!!
  • They have to make a fourth movie! I have too many questions that need answered.

    What would Will do when, after 5 or 6 visits, Elizabeth gets old and gray.... and eventually dies?

    What would have happened if the day that they were allowed to see each other was a Feb. 29th? Those only occur on leap years, which are once every four years.....

    Did Jack ever find the Fountain of Youth?

    If he did, did he bottle any and take it to Elizabeth?

    Is the Fountain of Youth made of water, or, milk, or magic rum.... what is it?
  • Charlie
    The water probably wouldn’t work away from the fountain so that's the curse, you cant leave or you will grow older. (rum :P )
  • celena
    i totally agree with you, i was just thinking that they were really just leaving us hanging at the end of the 3rd movie. and i really wish keira knightly and orlando bloom would come back in the next movie, i love their characters almost as much as i love jack sparrow. the end of the third was really sad i thought, i can't believe they can't see eachother for ten years!!!! they have to make another movie, at least so we can get to see will and elizabeth together again.
  • B33
    Keria and Orlando's story is now over... Let's leave the fourth to Jack and his crew.
  • JohnnyDepprox!
    Ya i love Jack hes my fav!! ...but....you can't just throw out some characters....there has to be some sort of reason...cause the fact that will and liz aren't in the 4th 1 people will ask Q's! Ana they can't be just DEAD....i mean that will totally depress the people...thus leading to a bad movie! *gasp* i no..i no bu don't hate me for it! It's the truth!
  • w3z
    i think that if you get rid of the characters that you think borin. will & ellizebeth(who are clearly not boring) then you would be handicapping the pirates of the caribbean movie. even thought you dont like these character, they still do make the movie weather you believe it or not and if it weree not to includ ethem init then pirates of the caribbean would be pirates of the caribbean. thankz who ever may read this for taking time out to read my thoughts,
  • Jake
    You confuse having breasts to being interesting. Sparrow has no womanly breasts and yet he is very interesting. Do you see the flaw in your logic? Of course Elizabeth is a beautiful name, but Keira, who has no breasts is a terrible actress. Bloom might suck in the Pirates films, but I will give him a pass. He was great of the LOTR films.
  • vanessa
    i cannot believe that there is going to be a pirates 4, i was going to cry if there wasnt going to be another! they cant leave us hanging!!!!
  • w3z
    wouldnt be * correction sorry bout that people..
  • the best film of the year it ties up all the loose ends from 1and 2 i hope the is a 4 jack wants his ship back
  • samantha
    there has to be a pirates of the caribbean 4!!! and it wouldn't be pirates of the caribbean without elizabeth and jack cause they've been in all the the movies so i'd be WAY different w/o those charecters. maybe like base it off of their son maybe them have to use the blood of a young person that has blood of a pirate or something or idk but will and elizabeth have to be on it and have a happily ever after!!!!!!!!
  • elizabeth
    If there is a Pirates 4, then Will and Elizabeth have to be in it! It wouldn't be the same without them. It would also clear up some of the things people wonder about Will now that he is the FD captain, and where Elizabeth went for ten years. The Fountain of Youth would be a great followup - Johnny would do a great job. But he has to team up with old friends to get there!
  • elizabeth
    Oh yeah, to clarify, it couldn't tale place ten years later, though. Elizabeth would be too old to be in her element, a kid would clod it up, and the age difference between Will and Elizabeth would be sad, since Will is immortal and all.
  • No, Will and Lizzy are done. Captain Jack and Barbosa are just getting started. Jack needs to fight for the Pearl and Barbosa and him are always racing for immortality. What better race than the Fountain of Youth? Maybe even introduce a third pirate? Mr. Ponce De Leon? He is legend for having discovered Florida and supposedly the Fountain of Youth.

    An eternally youthful Spaniard and his crew against Jack and Barbosa? Uh, yes please!

    Elizabeth and Will's part in this saga is over. They have been married and we even got to glimpse their son and future happiness. William will keep his promise and continue to shepherd the men and women who die at sea to the afterlife. That's the responsibility he promised to do when he became Captain of the Dutchman.

    It's all about Jack and Barbosa now. Which is good! Does anyone else agree that they MADE the first movie. That epic battle on the caves on the Isla de Muerta! Even in the third they shine as companions, enemies and conspirators! I can't wait to see more of these two characters bantering and crossing blades!
  • Chloe
    there must be a pirates 4! will and elizabeth incorporate so much in the trilogy that will need to be continued. once again, the movie ended with a cliff hanger. there must be another movie with all of the main characters, not just jack. it will be amazing to make many young pirateers happy by making a 4 installment!
  • Angelene
    No no. I like Pirates, through and through. Orlando and Keira HAVE to stay on. It
    will go down hill if they aren't back on. I enjoy watching a little bit off a love sto
    with Jack Sparrows awesome character. A spinoff...no no. There has to be a
    POTC 4!
  • Tell me what part could will and liz play? Give me a valid story and I will gladly realize my folly. The problem is, you can't. Jack Sparrow has always been the focus of the films and will continue to be. Will and Liz would have never fallen in love were it not for Jack. Their part in this story has ended. Putting them back in would be like making a fourth Lord of the Rings. The ring has been destroyed. Will and Liz have been married, and have a son. that's it. End of story. Jack however, has many more adventures on the horizon.
  • Emmie
    That's a bad example, because Lord Of The Rings was based on the books
  • celena
    no, will and elizabeth were very interesting characters, i thought. but if they have to make the fourth movie without them, then i guess they have to.
  • samantha
    yes there would be a different age w/ elizabeth and will but she still would be young and so they could still find a way to make it happen that either will's real age fast-forward or elizabeth's age goes young but still (possibly) has her child. idk i'm sure the movie makers will think up something to make this saga end happily ever after!!! because i'm counting on it!!!!!!(because i cannot end w/o will and elizabeth seeing eachother everyday not every 10 years!!)
  • samantha
    to walter: will and elizabeth would have too fallen in love w/o jack, will loved her he was just to afraid to ask!!
  • Colleen
    they have to do a pirates four! will and lizzie have to be together and jack has to have his ship.like whats a pirate without a ship...if they do make a fourth...ORLANDO BLOOM HAS TO BE IN IT...HES LIKE THE ONLY REASON I WATCH PIRATES...the pirates seires cant end without happiness,,and it cant end without will and elizabeth seeing eachother...their like made for eachother...!!!!!!!
  • I think Will's character will help Jack,seeing Jack does'nt have a decent ship right now.And Jack will help Will from being eternally captain of the Flying Dutchman.I mean it would just be cruel Will only seeing Elizabeth once every ten years and not being able to raise their child.Let's all hope pirates will end at 3 and will continue to a part 4.
  • Oops sorry I did'nt mean to write about hoping pirates will end at 3,I mean't I hope it does'nt end at 3.
  • polly
    Elizabeth and Will... now come on there has to be away that they
    can live forever with each other and not only seeing eachother
    one day out of ten years! Something has got to happen.
    They have to be together. Forever!
  • Without Jack Liz would have died when she fell from the parapet into the water HE saved her. They are married and have lived happily ever after. did you see any sadness when Will showed up 10 years later? No, everyone looked happy! Will and Liz are not the heart of the story. Jack is. Just because Teeny-boppers like you go to watch Orlando doesn't mean he should be in the fourth! Jack IS the franchise. Not Will or Liz. That's why the video game was: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow. Not: Pirates of the Caribbean: Will and Elizabeth!
  • maverick11
    BULL SHIT! will and elizebeth are the meat of the story! they are why people love the movies so much! other wise it would be a bunch of grubby pirrates running around with NO depth to the story! Will and Liz must retun!!!
  • Colleen
    exactly...they have to be together....there so sweet together
  • Please stop posting until you learn the difference between their, they're and there. It's underage waifs like you that keep the film industry popping out wonders like The Fast and the Furious, and Talladega Nights. There used to be something called character development and story. Now it's face and explosions. What a shame.

    No wonder idiots like Chad Michael Murray and the Duff Sisters get to work forever in Hollywood (or at least until their looks fade). They probably don't know the difference between their, they're and there.
  • JESS
    WALTERPONCE ,WHILE I AGREE WITH YOU THE MISSHAPS OF CORRECTIVE SPELLING AND GRAMMER ARE QUITE ANOYING, I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT
    YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A JERK ABOUT IT.
  • pirateman
    what if in 4, they make will and elizebeth come back?, in one way
    1.they cut the part in three where it says if calypso had waited for jones, he would have been freed from commanding the flying dutchman, in return since elizebeth stayed true to will, he is now freed, and....the movie makers can come up with the rest
  • Toddy
    Although Orlando can't act, I would still like to see Elizebeth & Will live happily ever after without the whole 10 yr thing.
  • w3z
    how can will and elizibeths roles be over. he has just become captain of the lying dutchmen .and she was made the pirate queen,,
  • I HATED Pirated 3, but loved 1 & 2. Elizabeth's part is just dreadful and so was the backstabbing persona of Orlando. But Johhny, there's the next trilogy star.
  • Jake
    if they have a pirates 4 the cannot have will and elizabeth it it. it would ruin the outcome that we received in the third film! i mean elizabeth standing on the beach has legendary significance! like the maiden of the sea. she stands their and waits for her long lost lover to return. it has to end with them there. but bringing cap'n jack back with some other characters like barbossa and gibbs would be great. add some more characters.
  • bongolongo
    i have to say, when both keira and bloom where on the screen i was bored and waiting to see when jack/barbossa would appear, even jacks crew. i dunno, will/liz love relationship is over to me...if there is a 4th, i hope they are not in it since their storyline is over, there is nothing left for them since both their wishes have been fulfilled. walter is right that they are only eyecandy which is why ppl want them in the 4th. if there is a 4th it should be called POTC: The fountain of Youth...ponce de leon? i thought he was an explorer not a pirate? or is it safe to say that both him and jack would collide?
  • Jenny
    i think the reason people wnt will n elizabeth back is because they wnt to
    see happy endings all around, no1 wnts tht child to b raised by just a mother.
    I loved POTC 3 i thort the ending ws fantastic n i would love another film.
    however, why dnt we leave the script writing and the character deciding to the
    pros?
  • Katie
    There has to be a POTC 4! I mean they can't just end it like that! Will
    and Elizabeth have to be together in the end, w/o the whole 10yr thing! but it
    would be stupid to change the characters! so if they plan on doin that then they
    just need to leave it at POTC 3! but if they need a break then give them one!
    Depp says that he wants to make a 4th so im sure that disney will jump on
    board! It just may come out later like 2009 or sumthing! i'm sure that Will/Liz
    will be in it if they do make a 4th!
  • Jess
    if there isnt anymore elizabeth and will it would be very disappointing..something gives me a hunch that they'll all be bac im sure that such dedicated actors and actresses wouldnt wanna disappoint the fans
  • Amy
    I thought Pirates 3 was Awesome!!! Hopefully they make a 4th!!
    But I have to say if they make a 4th Pirates without Will Turner & Elizabeth Swan it wouldn't be the same What So Ever!!!!!!!!

    Also I learned this & feel ALOT better...

    Tia Dalma explained, though Will had to spend ten years at sea away from Elizabeth, if she was faithful to him and he did his job well he would be returned to her. Davey Jones kept souls on the Dutchman instead of ferrying them to the afterlife, causing him to be captain for eternity. At the end of the credits, Will returns to Elizabeth and their son. We see the green flash, showing that Will has returned from the "dead" and can be with Elizabeth for good.
  • Hula
    I was thinking though... Will has a boy, and leaving them for 10 years and missing him being raised etc... may be too difficult... what if he shirked his duties as the captain of the flying dutchman to see them more, and started to turn into a weird sort of monster like davy jones... then elizabeth could be free to be the pirate she truley is in her heart and be with captain jack, which we all know she truley wants... :-) that just sounded more twisted out loud than it does in my head... lol
  • Hula
    ....also because he has to do that duty for eternity... he only gets to come ashore for one day every ten years.... so the other alternative is that johnny depp finds the fountain of youth and elizabeth gets to have some, thus living for eternity so will and her can truley be eternal... but i still go with her hooking up with captain jack
  • Hula
    ...ahhh i didnt read that whole thing. i thought he couldnt come back no matter what... cuz the dutchman HAD to have a captain... and if he did get to go back to elizabeth, who would be captain. it sounded like no matter what... sadly, he could only have one day every ten years... so im confused.
  • Rafael
    I, and all the Filipino Fans are waiting again for the Fountain of Youth and althoug the Pirates 3 was very astounding movie, it hangs me in the end on what would happen to Jack Sparrow? Would he can find thew Fountain of youth despite of what he have? Expectedly, Captain Barbossa needs to find Jack for the map, but what would be the twist between? What would happen to the love story of Elizabeth and Will, will it be really a happily ever after or just a hanging part of the story? in an island? I beg for all the people behind this movie to do the next sequel and the character insist that he is interested in the movie's sequel so do it! Do it for all the people who are really had the devotion to watch it over and over again!!! I'll wait for it, Pirates!!!
  • elizabeth
    They left a lot on a cliffhanger, though! I mean...they definitely have to follow up on the Fountain of Youth. They could have the fourth start a few months after the third ended (not the ten year thing). Jack still has a lot in him, and he really does carry the movies. But it wouldn't be near the same without Will and Elizabeth there! Will and his crew could fit in somehow, maybe help them along. Will's part must be highlighted, though. They can't push him into the shadows if they bring Elizabeth back. Elizabeth could team up with the others to find the Fountain...then she could be immortal and stay with Will! In my opinion, the green flash at the end did not mean that Will is free from captaincy.
  • Saintzeu
    hehe will and liz must be back cause see that was part of the huge sccess of the film all this love adventure comedy jack drama that made pirates so good and now u say they cant be back in the movie? why they cant ? in this movie everything is possible u just need the ideea so gogogo for pirates 4 everyone expect this
  • devin
    POTC: 4 will go down as follows:

    will and elizabeth will meet up, and elizabeth will break down crying. the two, along with their son, will find jack sparrow or barbossa, who are looking for the fountain of youth. There, elizabeth will somehow drink from the fountain and be immortal with her hubby. Jack will also get a sip, and barbossa will realize that immortality isnt everything. There will probably be an appearence of Ponce De Leon, but i'm not sure. New characters are always incorporated. No, it wouldn't be a good thing is will and elizabeth disappeared, nor is the story centered on Jack. It has several plotlines.
  • QuintusCinna
    Did you really not understand where the "Fountain of Youth" was located? It was a joke, mates. The "X" is located where the future Disneyworld is located.
  • Amy
    Will did his job. Green Flash came. Meaning he has come back from the Dead. Now Will, Elizabeth & there son can be together for Good.

    I can't wait to see what they come up with for Pirates 4! And who they choose to be the Capt. of the Flying Dutchmen.
