Pirates of the Caribbean screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio talked to ComingSoon.net about their involvement into the big movie hit(s). Very interesting details came to light during the exclusive interview. We “only” got to see the movies now, even if the idea to make a Pirates movie was already triggered in 1992.

We had actually tried to get Disney interested in doing a movie based on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride after we finished working on “Aladdin” back in ‘92. At that time, there was a different company philosophy and different management in place, then about ten years later, Disney kind of had the same idea and caught up to us

Unfortunately it might be a long time before we ever get a 4th movie. Even if Johnny Depp mentioned he would love to do one, not everybody might be ready to start a 4th movie

People will always talk about whatever they want, but there’s no guarantee of a fourth film. There’s forces in play that would hopefully make it happen, there are forces in play that could prevent it. It’s quite possible that “At Worlds End” will be it. I guess it’s like talk of the next Indiana Jones movie for so long. I’m sure there’ll always be speculation, but for right now, this trilogy is designed to come to a conclusion.

Still, a (Star Wars) joke in the interview might excite some Pirates fans when mentioned that the pirates might be renamed episode 4, 5 and 6 in about 20 years and they would start on the prequels then.
