Cinemablend is reporting a rumor that Tim Burton might direct Pirates of the Caribbean 4, and that Russell Brand will play Jack Sparrow’s brother. Aside from the fact that Burton has a multi-picture deal with Disney, I see no reason how this rumor could be true. So for now mark it as “bullshit until proven legit”.

    I thought of the Russell Brand as a pirate casting choice myself, that would be amazing! As long as he had a nice long part

    Makes since that Burton might be tapped for Pirates. Gore Verbinski doing Bioshock and all.
  • I hope they don't get Burton but with Depp's relationship with Burton and the fact that Disney is going to give him $56 million apparently, Depp could have demanded Burton direct the film.
  • i dont think Kanye West wouldve done that if he actually read the book. maybe im wrong. maybe the video or the song actually comments on something related to it. oh my god why am i still writing about kanye west wtf ok peace.
