3 Directors up for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5
Walt Disney Pictures, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and Johnny Depp are ready to move forward with Pirates of the Caribbean 5 now that The Lone Ranger has been completed. The are currently in the process of hiring a director to take on the project.
A new report from Deadline reveals a short list of three directors who are up for the gig. Those directors include: Fredrik Bond (The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman), Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg (Kon-Tiki), and Rupert Sanders (Snow White And The Huntsman). I guess that's four names technically, but one of them is a directing team.
The report says that the Kon-Tiki guys are the names coming up the most, but obviously at this point no offer has been made to any of them. I haven't seen Kon-Tiki yet, but it looks like a great movie. I think its directors could do great things with the Pirates franchise. Sanders is the only director I really know about in this group, he's a talented visual director, but for anyone that saw Snow White And The Huntsman, you know he's not very good with directing actors or storytelling.
Which of the directors named here would you like to see take on the fifth PIRATES movie?
