‘Pirates 4’ Set to Shoot in Spring

We knew it was going to happen eventually, but today comes official word that ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4’ (the name is sure to change very soon) will begin shooting this coming Spring with a tentative release date in 2011.  The news comes the San Diego Comic Con floor as Coming Soon.net caught up with Oren Aviv, Disney’s Head of Production.

We’re going to shoot ‘Pirates 4’ in April and May of next year.  We are going to release it hopefully in 2011 is the plan.

Aviv also went on to say that hopes are this new film will be the beginning of a new trilogy, the story is likely to scale back since it can’t get any bigger, and there is a lot to the Captain Jack Sparrow back story that we haven’t seen yet.  Aviv did not indicate whether or not director Gore Verbinski would be returning.
