Rob Marshall to replace Verbinski in Next "Pirates" Film
>> Aug 1, 2009
As Disney and Bruckheimer are in a hurry to produce the next film in their "Pirates of Caribbean" franchise, but with Gore Verbisnki decision to not return as the director again, they have been looking for his replacement by meeting with a number of directors in the recent weeks.
Recently, Variety’s BFDealMemo blog has suggested that the studio already found a new helmer who is Rob Marshall. The blog reports that “sources say unless things break down at the last moment, Marshall will be steering the pirate vehicle’s next installment.” Marshall has three big features under his belt: "Chicago," "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Nine", to be released later this year. But is he really the right man to steer the future of this epic adventure franchise?
However, With the storyline of the original trilogy concluded, Marshall and screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio would be free to do whatever they like with the series. Johnny Depp is obviously returning as Jack Sparrow, and Geoffrey Rush has said he would return as Barbossa; one proposed storyline has Sparrow and Barbossa hitting New Orleans and then searching for the Fountain of Youth. And last weekend at Comic Con, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said that he’d like to be filming by April or May of next year.
Variety also reported that Disney has already started to cast some of the new characters that’ll appear in this installment, so if Marshall’s deal goes through we should hear many more details about the film quite soon.
