'Dead Men Tell No Tales' is the title of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie

The full title for the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie will be PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES. This Pirates sequel is set to open on July 10, 2015. It will be directed by the directing duo of Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, who are best known for their work in the Norwegian historical drama film Kon-Tiki, which was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards. Jeff Nathanson (Rush Hour 3) wrote the screenplay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Disney, and Johnny Depp have all signed on for the sequel.

Pirates 5 took a bit of time to put together, as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides raked in over $1 billion at the box office but suffered from a mixed critical reception. As if the confidence for Pirates 5 couldnt be more fragile; this year Jerry Bruckheimer, Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski (all 3 were responsible for the original 3 Pirates movies) came out with their movie adaptation for THE LONE RANGER, and it received a tremendous failure both at the box office and the critics. This has caused ramifications for the studio’s upcoming Pirates 5.

Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced The Lone Ranger, may not receive final cut on the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 5—a privilege he enjoyed on the previous four Pirates films (A Final Cut is the right to approve the final edited version of a movie).  Moreover, the studio is looking to shave the film’s budget down from $250 million to a number closer to $200 million.  The Lone Ranger‘s box office is indeed unimpressive, but coupled with the disappointing box office performance of last year’s $250 million John Carter, the studio is trying to avoid pricey (and public) embarrassments becoming a trend in the near future.
