Pirates 3 postponed?

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…
