Speaking with ComicBook.com, producer Jerry Bruckheimer stressed that the franchise was still on track to return but that they would now be bringing in a new cast to tell new stories, adding that he was unsure if Pirates or another legacy series, Top Gun, would return to screens first.
“It’s hard to tell. You don’t know, you really don’t know. You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know. Because with Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can’t tell you. But we’re gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.”
There’s a whole lot of ‘I dont know’ from someone who’s in charge. Does not bode well.

It isn’t really anything new. You have the classic quote:
I have never seen it (Jaws 4) but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific.

But yeah, it definitely feels more frequent that there’s no passion beyond getting a paycheck or a free trip to exotic locales with their pals.
(Popular) hollywood is all out of ideas.
It’s not so much that their out of ideas, it’s that they don’t want to take a chance on a new idea. Why take a risk on a unknown writer or producing what could be a revolutionary film when you can just regurgitate a movie that you know was already a hit before?
I worked in a 20 screen theater during the summer is 2005. Only 4 screens out if that 20 weren’t reboots or sequels.
No thanks, I’ll just rewatch the first 3 movies instead
They should really make a part 4 or 5 with some good writing… but oh well
It is just going to be another mediocre movie with bad writing made in hopes that people will pay to see it based only on name alone.
I really wish it was more popular to just continue film and tvseries with a new crew. New actors, new story or same-ish story, but acknowledgement that the old stuff happened somewhere in the same fictional universe. Hell, I would even prefer existing roles recast over a reboot. Theater pieces has no problem recasting anyone into any role.
Didn’t work out for men in black
