Looks as though Gore Verbinsky is not going to be returning to direct the fourth installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. Director Rob Marshall ("Chicago" and the upcoming musical "Nine") will be stepping in to helm the film, entitled "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" which will follow Capt. Jack Sparrow on his search for the Fountain of Youth. So far, Johnny Depp is the only star that is set to return.



ecksmanfan: Great, it looks like we are going to see Johnny Depp and Geoffry Rush singing and dancing their way to the Fountain of Youth. This has failure written all over it. I'm actually surprised that Depp is still involved with the project.

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!

I would say the paycheck has a lot to do with him returning.

@LEEE-I agree. The third was ok, but the lame-ass Orlando/Kiera thing really bugged me. The second one was just plain disappointing.

I'd like to see them bring back the Kraken, that was the best thing that whole series had going and he got axed worse than Boba Fett.

I think it's going to be great now that they got the story from the first 3 over with, think it'll be like the first.

@ Grif, why do you bother even commenting, you never say anything positive, and don't even have a point or facts to back up your frickin negative comments. I don't get why people used to talk trash to superMike, well deserved I might add, but this guy isn't any better, but no one says anything to him.
