“Pirates of the Caribbean” is a franchise that has gone through a lot, and while it started out hugely successful with various crowds and established an active following, some of the more recent installments in the series have been less than successful, both according to fans as well as critics judging the films. It’s true that the last film – or two – could have seen a bit more attention to some of the details in their production, but it’s also true that the franchise hasn’t been shy to innovate and explore new options for its characters and overall plot.
And now, there are various rumors about the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean 5”, claiming that the new film is going to be a massive hit and give fans of the franchise exactly what they’ve wanted to see for a long time. There have been various rumors surrounding the films, and many of them are strongly positive, but of course it’s hard to tell what the true situation looks like before we’ve also heard some official reports about the film.
One thing is evident right now though – there is a lot of active work going on behind those scenes, and everyone involved in the production seems to be strongly determined to make it work and justify fans’ expectations. Which is not going to be an easy task by any means, as those expectations seem to be growing by the day, judging by discussions on messaging boards.
It seems like many people are buying into the more interesting rumors and expecting more and more from the next film in the series, so hopefully it’s not going to end up a disappointment to them. There are various ways in which Johnny Depp and the rest of the crew can live up to the majority of expectations among the fan base right now, but they are going to have to put some serious effort into it, especially if they want to make this film as successful as the earlier installments in the franchise. That was its true glory time and a period when it was considered to be among the more interesting film series, and while it would be hard to come back to that major level of glory, it would still be good to see “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” becoming a moderately popular film with a lot of success across the board.
There have been reports that the film is going to take things back to the roots of the franchise and disregard some more recently introduced ideas which have been deemed controversial among the community of fans. There are mixed reports about what that list will include exactly, but it does look like the producers of the film are trying to look back at what made the originals so successful in the first place, and emulate that success in whatever way they can. And according to many, it should definitely be possible to make fans remember why they liked the franchise so much in the first place.
But until 2017, when the film is supposedly going to come out, we’re likely not going to get much in the way of official reports. The producers of the film have been very quiet and vague when talking about it in any context, and that’s probably to be expected, looking at how popular the film is in the press and how much people are expecting from it already.
