~Pirates IV To Shoot April/May 2010~

Disney's Head of Production Oren Aviv confirmed today that they are definitely on board for Pirates IV and that they have plans to be rolling film on the movie as early in April/May next year. We're going to shoot 'Pirates 4' in April and May of next year," Aviv told Coming Soon during an Interview. "We are going to release it hopefully in 2011 is the plan." He said that this time they would only be doing one movie. "It's important to get the story right and it's important to me to scale it down, because we can't get bigger," Aviv admitted. "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 back story that we haven't seen yet without confirming or denying that we might see some of that in the fourth movie. Still no word on whether Gore Verbinski might come back for the fourth movie.
