In July 2011 Johnny Depp confirmed he was closing in on a deal for a fifth installment and that franchise wouldn't be going ahead without Depp's participation.Īlthough it has never been officially confirmed, there is strong evidence to suggest that the series was influenced by, and perhaps loosely based upon, the Monkey Island series of video games. It has been confirmed that two more instalments to the franchise are included in Disney's future plans. So far, the film franchise has grossed $3.71 billion worldwide and it is the only franchise with two films that have reached $1 billion worldwide. It succeeded in grossing more than $1 billion, becoming the eighth and second-fastest film to achieve this. In September 2008, Depp signed on for a fourth film in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, released on in conventional 2D, IMAX, Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3D. The third film in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, was released in 2007. In the end, it earned $1,066,179,725 at the worldwide box office, becoming the fourth and third-fastest film to reach this amount. The sequel proved successful, breaking records worldwide the day of its premiere.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was released three years later in 2006. After the success of the first film, Walt Disney Pictures revealed that a trilogy was in the works. The films started with their first release on the big screen in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl. They are based on a Walt Disney theme park ride of the same name, and follow the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and many other characters including Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin McNally), Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), Angelica (Penélope Cruz), Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Philip Swift (Sam Claflin) and the mermaid Syrena (Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey). Pirates of the Caribbean is a series of fantasy-adventure films directed by Gore Verbinski ( 1– 3) and Rob Marshall ( 4), written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
