Pirates of the Caribbean 5 News and Updates: Captain Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa are back!
The highly anticipated fifth installment of the hit franchise Pirates of the Caribbean is now a go as announced by Disney studios. The Pirates of the Caribbean 5 release date is on July 17, 2017.
Disney initially planned to release the movie by 2016, but the studio needs time to prepare and adjust budgets brought about by the not so good return of investment of The Lone Ranger.
And the other reason is because Capt Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp, had been shooting scenes for the upcoming Alice in Wonderland 2 and Black Mass.
Casting calls are also underway and Disney is "searching for people of all ages- and all experience levels- to apply for roles in the upcoming film", according to Realty Today.
With the new installment, the crew will be filming in Australia after the Government had agreed for a $20.2 million tax incentive. This incentive should have been intended for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but supposed to be director, David Fincher left the movie, so Disney allocated the incentive to the Pirates of the Caribbean 5 movie.
Pre-production is rumored to commence this month and principal photography to start by February 2015. The Pirates of the Caribbean 5 movie will be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and will be directed by Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg.
Pirates of the Caribbean cast would still include Johnny Depp as the infamous Capt. Jack Sparrow and Australian Geoffrey Rush to reprise his tailor-made role, Hector Barbossa.
