I can't wait, seems like forever since the last one.

I hope this is good.

Calling all bets on that dude being Elizabeth and Will's kid!

That would necessitate like a twenty-year time jump.

[Utrommaniac]

Well, maybe it is? He does look like Will and Elizabeth's spitting image. And since the original movie was made 15 years go (with Dead Man's Chest and At World's end being a year later), they could just easily say that it's 20 years after the fact - and thus ten years after Will meets his son for the first time.

I wouldn't think they'd want to really age their characters, for the sake of making sure there are plenty more Pirates movies to make in the future, but maybe you're on to something.

It is absolutely Will and Elizabeth's kid. We already know Orlando Bloom is rejoining Rush and Depp for this.

Psyched. Love the PotC films, especially the first three. (PotC 4 has some rough edges.)

But if they bring back Will without Elizabeth, I will be disappointed. Throw money at Knightley until she agrees to at least a cameo.

Also, let's follow up on Angelica and her voodoo doll, shall we?

I was totally enamored with Davy Jones' story when it first came out, and probably affected a lot of the way I try associate with sympathetic villains.
And while it was painfully obvious Tia Dalma was Calypso, it was still a great moment when it was confirmed.

I was also thinking that it was Kiera Knightly willing to return and not Orlando Bloom. But it would probably fit the Will Turners Reuniting With Undead Fathers better without Elizabeth. (Come one, you know his name is William Turner III)

Well, Keira has had a very successful film career since Pirates, whereas Orlando... not so much.

Trailer looks awesome. I completely forgot about this until the trailer dropped, super excited now though. I should probably watch the other ones again, last time I did was around when On Stranger Tides came out.

[TigerClaw]

I only seen the 1st one when I bought it on DVD years ago, I thought it was a fun movie, Just never watched the sequels.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Yeah, you guys are right, it's Will's kid.

Wikipedia says of the character:
[Henry is] "a young man who tries to reconnect with his father. He struggles to break a curse that is preventing him from doing so."

Sounds like the curse of Davy Jones to me!

Well, if there's no pay there's no real incentive for him to watch it, right?

I'm not really that into the whole Pirate thing, I saw the 1st film out of curiosity.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Well number 3 is the best, so you're missing out!

[Utrommaniac]

I've always liked the second one best (though my favorite moment of the franchise came from Tia Dalma being called "Mrs. Fish" by Pintel the third one)

I haven't seen the fourth, which I heard wasn't all that great anyway. Think I've seen the tail end of it.

IMHO, Curse of the Black Pearl was the best one period. Dead Man's Chest had its fun moments but really spun its wheels and doesn't feel like much happened. At World's End is ambitious and tries to tell a sincerely epic story, but most of the joy got drained out somewhere along the line and it stretches some interesting ideas way too long. I think the whole "Davy Jones" arc thing also kind of missed the tone of the original that really worked: a low stakes adventure with fun along the way.

On Stranger Tides was something of a return to form. I think it's arguably better than Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, has a plot that more in line with the original (a quest for something), more "for fun" moments (like Jack's escape from the palace), and one of the best villains in Ian McShane's Blackbeard. However, it does seem a little tired in places. I'm not sure if it's just the novelty wearing off, or that some of the new characters didn't work as well (Jack not having a straight man to bounce off of was missed), or what. But I was expecting a lot worse and came out generally pleased.

As far as the new trailer goes, I'm generally pleased. It looks like it capturing the tone of the franchise pretty well and the new supernatural pirate villains look like something fresh from the previous ones. Of course, since we don't know much about the plot yet, so we'll see how it turns out. Considering that this may be the last movie in the series, hopefully it ends the saga on a high note.

Original Pirates of the Caribbean star returns for latest sequel
http://moviehole.net/2016111485origi...-latest-sequel

Seemingly needing a payday, Keira Knightley is reportedly returning for the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie.

As previously reported, her franchise screen-squeeze Orlando Bloom is also returning for Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales”.

The catch? Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann won’t appear until a post-credits scene – setting up her appearance in the already greenlit sixth “Pirates” film. Bloom’s Will Turner, however, will have a more substantial presence in this film.

Joining Johnny Depp in the Aussie-shot tentpole, out May 26, are Kevin McNally, Stephen Graham, Kaya Scodelario, Brenton Thwaites, Golshifteh Farahani and Paul McCartney.Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg direct.
