[] Two Pirates Sequels To Sail?
The proposed sequel to this summer's hit Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl may evolve into two movies, shot back to back a la The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, Variety reported. Pirates producer Jerry Bruckheimer told the trade paper that it's too soon to discuss such plans.
But sources close to the film told Variety that they are pondering the possibility of back-to-back sequels, and negotiations have begun to secure the cast should the studio pursue that avenue.
Director Gore Verbinski has agreed to direct the Pirates sequel, and Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott are onboard to pen the script, which is not finished. Disney also has commitments from Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley to appear in Pirates 2, which Bruckheimer said still has no start date. The first film grossed more than $300 million at the domestic box office, the trade paper reported.
