We don't normally run "rumors", but we've been getting a lot of emails from fans of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN flicks, asking why there has been so little information out there about the next installment, AT WORLD'S END, despite the fact that we're only about 2 1/2 months from its release (May 25th). There is no official website yet, no teaser or trailer of any kind (remember last year when Disney released its awe-inspiring teaser for DEAD MAN'S CHEST during the Superbowl-- and that film was released in July, as opposed to May for this installment), almost no pictures that we can publish without receiving a "cease and desist" decree from the Man behind the Mouse, no posters, and now rumblings that things are going slower than anticipated in the editing room and that the film may not make its official May 25th release date? Heck, Disney is still mum about whether or not Rolling Stone Keith Richards is even making an appearance in the film (which I could seriously care less about myself)!

I personally highly doubt that the film will get postponed, as studios claim their release spots like they were gold-mines, and hopefully Disney will start spraying the love for the film over the next few weeks, but in a year where films like WILD HOGS, STOMP THE YARD and NORBIT are the "big hits" so far, I've temporarily given up on making predictions. By the way, the film is officially called AT WORLD'S END, right? Right? So secretive, them buggers...

Extra Tidbit: Johnny Depp is a great looking man.

It's to late to postpone it people July is way to packed. They already have a trailer ready from what I hear. So Don't be surprised if it's not postponed.

Gauranteed
I gaurantee they are going to move it further away from Spiderman 3. Not even the Pirate wants a piece of spidey.

I am sure they will claim they need to do finishing touches, but it will be because of spidey.

Don't know if they'll postpone it or not -- would be quite odd if they did. But concerning the limited amount of info about the film -- there's been pictures, posters, and banners galore, and there's been pictures of Keith Richards on the Internet and in the press everywhere, confirmed by Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinksi, and Johnny Depp -- so I'm not quite sure what this article is basing its...

I don't see why there's any reason to panic.

Sure -- there's no trailer yet. But maybe that's a strategy -- SHREK 3, SPIDER-MAN3 and whatever others come out in May, and they're all releasing their trailers right about now (or a few weeks before now, to now). Maybe the Mouse is thinking, if we backload most of the promotion for POTC3, unloading the new trailers later, bombarding the TVs with spots LATER, then audiences will have that fresh excitement feeling still in their gut when our film comes out, instead of it being something they've been waiting for for six months, and have seen so-so 7mn HD clips of already, and repetitive posters, etc etc.

It would not surprise me at all if Pirates is postponed. I think there are going to be too many heavy hitters in May with the third installments of Shrek, Spider Man and Pirates of the Carribean scheduled to be released. I have felt for a while one would end up being postponned due the the huge competition. I think moving Pirates to it's usual early July release date would be a wise move by ...

That would suck if the movie was postponed but I highly doubt it will be. It's too bad I have to watch Dancing with the Stars just to see this damn trailer.

Pirates 4
Source: Insider
Apparently Pirates 4 will begin shooting this summer with Depp, but without Knightley and Bloom. So I cant see how this one is delayed when they're already getting on the next.

Why
Honstely what is so popular for the Trailer to be on Dancing with the Stars. That is so stupid IMO.

Hah
Berge-

The phrase "spraying the love" will forever be associated with Pirates 3. I don't even know if the movie will be good, but I will chuckle through the whole thing, waiting for Jack to start spraying his love everywhere.

Trailer
Supposedly the trailer will be on the first episode of Dancing with the Stars, and appear online that evening as well. We should have a preview within the next two weeks.

God bless
