POTC: On Stranger Tides

As many Pirates of the Caribbean fans will know, the title of the fourth installment of  has been released on September 11, 2009. It's called On Stranger Tides and was revealed by Johnny Depp in character as Jack Sparrow at disney's D23 Expo. Disney's head of Production Oren Aviv said that this would hopefully be the first of another trilogy. He also said that Disney had chosen to scale this movie down from the former series: "It's important to get the story right and it's important to me to scale it down, because we can't get bigger. The movies have subsequently gotten bigger and bigger and very complicated and they were satisfying on so many levels obviously, but I want to kind of reboot the whole thing and bring it down to its core, its essence, just characters." He agreed that there is a lot of Captain Jack Sparrow's background that we haven't seen yet without confirming or denying that we might see some of that in the fourth movie.

We also know for sure that Johnny Depp will star in this: he agreed to star in this "before there was a script or anything."At one point it was rumoured that Russell Brand and Zac Efron would also star, but that has never been confirmed.

The story hasn't been made public yet. Tim Powers have stated that the movie is inspired on his book, On Stranger Tides. This book is about a pirate named Jack, who is searching for the Fountain Of Youth. We also get a glimpse of this at the end of the third film, POTC: At World's End when Jack Sparrow is looking at a symbol of the Aqua De Vida on a map.
