Setting Sail, Officially...

Well, well, when it comes to release dates, Apple isn't the only one who has them...

Walt Disney Pictures has officially announced the release date of their next film about a certain captain. I don't know this for sure, but for such a firm statement about a delivery date, I'd think something would have had to be put in ink. Perhaps egos and trepidations have been put at ease? Perhaps. But remember this date:

May 20, 2011.

It's an awfully lot closer than it appears...

Hat Tip to Adam.

New Pirate Captain Confirmed...

We finally have some news about POTC 4 that doesn't involve Johnny Depp's disappointment at Dick Cook being fired...

Over at Ain't It Cool News, there's an article, a review really of the new film, "Nine" that someone saw at a screening and Q&A afterwards. We've heard a lot of people mention that Rob Marshall was up for the director's gig, but this is the first time he's actually confirmed it.

Go over and read the surprise in the first paragraph and then read the review of the film...

Will Marshall Captain A New Pirates' Ship...

Now this is interesting...

I don't know what to think, good or bad, but Variety's BFDealmemo blog is reporting that Rob Marshall ("Chicago") is in talks to come aboard as director of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Subtitle Here" at any moment.

Take it for what it's worth (keep in mind they were originally reporting Spielberg directing "Matt Helm") and go over to the site to read the rest.
