Words are swirling that Rob Marshall could fill in the vacant director seat of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". BFDealMemo has recently suggested that the man behind satire musical "Chicago" is on the verge of taking the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series' wheel from original director Gore Verbinski.
The Variety's blog moreover pointed out that Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have met a number of directors in recent weeks to move ahead with "Pirates 4" and make sure Johnny Depp star in it before he takes on "The Lone Ranger". Sources informed that though Marshall is yet to be confirmed as director, he is likely to helm the project "unless things break down at the last moment" since the mouse house has begun casting new characters.
Many details on "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" have been kept well under wraps, but this fourth film reportedly will focus solely on Captain Jack Sparrow as he embarks on a journey to find the Fountain of Youth with Captain Barbossa to "defeat some supernatural terror", leaving Elizabeth and Will out of the adventure. Johnny Depp is to reprise his eccentric pirate character, Sparrow, in the film that is planned to be shot in April and May of 2010.
Making his debut in the film industry with TV adaptation of famous musical "Annie", Rob Marshall made his mark in the business with 2002's "Chicago". The adaptation of the Kander and Ebb musical earned him his first Academy Award nomination for directing. Helming another Oscar-winning movie "Memoirs of a Geisha" as well, he currently puts finishing touch to his upcoming musical film "Nine".

sorry, i ment to say "a sound of thunder", not "a sound of thinder", sorry!=/.
Well to be 100% quite honest with both of you here, i have to say that i think this movie and the 5th and even 6th movie will do just fine because at least this is not the same director from the movie failiure called "a sound of thinder" that only made 1 million in the box office, or that other director who directed that other movie failiure called "speed racer" !, right?!. So this next set of three pirates movie will be in good hands is all i have to say!;-)....
Really looking forward to seeing Depp back as Sparrow and very glad Will and Elisabeth are not involved. I just hope this Director can fill Verbinski very big shoes.
I hope this Director is good with action looking at his previous resume he seems to be a very serious Director so hoping he can pull this off then again I suppose it depends on the script. Looking forward to seeing Depp back as Sparrow, Oops sorry Jack I mean Captain Jack Sparrow...lol
Finally pirates of the caribbean 4 get a director!. Its amazing how long it took for a director to be found for pirates of the caribbean 4 !. I'm just glad its starting to film in 2010 and coming out in 2011 and has a potential director to take the helm. Also its good that johnny depp and jerry bruckheimer are returning too!. I hope geoffrey rush aka barbossa returns too!, that would awesome!=).
