So, back to the open seas we travel. Pirates 4 is rearing to go, Johnny Depp has officially signed on. Im not going to lie to a single folk out there... I really couldn't care less at this point. The previous two were so disastrous, a third sequel just sounds exhausting at this point.
And, as no executives have asked me my opinion... we are set to get a fourth. This one is titled "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", which at first glance just sounds terrible. I mean... didnt we already watch three films with the crew going on stranger and stranger tides? Seriously, Pirates 3 brought them to the land of the dead where there were like 30 Johnny Deps running around like they had a crab in their pants.
If you want more of a breakdown of what this film MIGHT be about, check out what
Amazon.com has posted about Tim Powers novel oddly titled "On Stranger Tides".
"World Fantasy Award–winner Powers (Three Days to Never) demonstrates a precise control of complex narratives in this reprint of his rollicking and enchanting 1987 novel. Puppeteer John Chandagnac, bound for Jamaica to recover stolen money from his uncle, becomes Jack Shandy after pirates attack his ship and force him to join their crew. Shandy's struggle to accept his new life grounds the story for readers, even as Blackbeard and vodun magicians whisk everyone away to dreamlike lands where the Fountain of Youth itself awaits. The chaotic sea battles sing, though at times key events happen so quickly that they get lost in the shuffle as Jack tries to comprehend where he's going and what's at stake. This dark fantasy tale will appeal not just to pirate fans but also to anyone who appreciates Powers's talent for blending the most unlikely elements into a brilliantly cohesive whole."
