No Verbinski for Pirates 4? No Deal!
Who does a guy gotta kill to get some frickin' loyalty?
The word is no Gore for Pirates 4. Unlike that Raimi guy missing Spidey 4 this would actually be pretty horrific news for us Pirates fans, Gore has nailed the first two editions in my estimation. Here's the blurby blurbness from Jim Hill Media:
Gore's sick of pirates. If I wrote a scene that had to be shot on water, he'd run the other way.
This quote is coming directly from Berkeley Breathed, the long time cartoonist who is currently working with Mr. Verbinski on a CGI project called Flawed Dogs, based on a book Breathed wrote (and illustrated).
I have a myriad of questions here. First off, how can a CGI film have a scene that's shot on water? Am I missing something here? Also the article says Disney is looking at 2009 for a possible Pirates 4. You telling me a few years off and $35 million or so wouldn't cure even the most ardent seasickness? What about if they say "Hey Gore, no sweat on going near water, we're going to film this one in the desert. Or on the moon. Heck, anywhere you want to film it is just great with us." You telling me that wouldn't work?
Because the alternative is NOT making a billion dollars and it seems like Disney would be very interested in making a billion dollars instead. Yes, you could replace Gore but why would you? He's had a level of success similar to Peter Jackson with the L.O.T.R. series and you don't mess with that.
They need to make Gore a deal he can't refuse and Pirates 4 needs to happen. With all the franchises that have been jacked up lately we all have a vested interest in seeing a good one continue with everyone intact. Gore, man, I'm begging you. Let's just think this thing through. No rash decisions yet. Sleep on it for a year. We'll have that blank check waiting.
