Pirates of the Caribbean reboot?

[PantheraGem]

This sounds pointless, if they're trying to reboot it. If it's another sequel, I dunno, kind of expected.

While I have no problems, in general, with reboots, I do feel that rebooting Pirates this soon is a bad idea. The last movie didn't come out that long ago and Jack Sparrow has been a part of all the movies to date and Johnny Depp has been Jack Sparrow for all of these movies and this soon after the last movie you can't have a Pirates movie without Jack Sparrow and you have can't have Jack Sparrow without Johnny Depp. They should give it at least another 10 - 15 years and allow another generation to come around who hasn't seen a Priates movie in the theater and (hopefully) don't know who Jack Sparrow is or at least associate Johnny Depp with the character.

The only way it works, ever, is if it's all new characters. No Jack, no Keira and Orlando (forget the characters names)....different pirate, different story completely, etc.

Otherwise it's just incredibly stupid.

There needs to be a rule about waiting at least 10 years before rebooting ANYTHING

Reboot talks were under way after the third film so its no surprise they would move forward with a new franchise. Unfortunately, targeted at "young" adults and teens Disney style, also known as kid friendly. The first POTC film took me by surprise as the reboot ideas are more of what I had originally expected vs the film we received. I would say expect more of a Goonies than a Jack Sparrow.

A "Pirates" reboot without Johnny as Jack Sparrow would probably go over like an "Indiana Jones" movie or a "Han Solo" movie without Harrison Ford, oh yeah....

Anyway, by way of lack of interest, or outright protest, I just don't think there's any winning. Performance of "Dead Men Tell No Tales" regardless.

I had no interest in the series after the third installment though my wife watched the latest film and she recommended it. I was surprised at how entertaining it was. Not great but just a fun few hours. I don't see much point in rebooting this series though. To me the fervor died down after the third movie and other than the first one I don't recall much of what happened in any of the sequels.

When Curse of the Black Pearl was released I think like most people I was surprised at how fun it was. That unexpected ride at the theater took a lot of us by surprise.

But as with any good thing I think it was overdone and it wouldn't shock me if they rebooted it. I have no dog in this fight though because I was never a hardcore fan. It will be what it will be.

A large part of the success of the first one was that it was fresh, fairly original, and unexpected.

A reboot won't have any of that and can't have it really. It will have a set level of expectation based off the originals and how good they (or at least the first) was. Just way too soon to even try.

brutally honest, I havn't seen any of the last 5-9-12 sequel's of this movie, or plan to, so i really don't care... :unsure

 

[The Searcher]

Hold up, didn’t the latest one come out last year?
It’s like trying to reboot the Rocky franchise about three years after the fifth one. Now I’m not saying either of these 5th installments are golden, but I think this is happening a little too fast.

They did spiderman like 3 years after it's last one....twice.

Again $4.65 billion total revenue globally is not a bad thing. Not a fan of reboots!! Carrie, Ghostbusters, Footloose, to name a few! Disasters!

 

[funboy1013xx]

dont forget robocop, red dawn, total recall, nightmare on elm street, fantastic 4, etc...

Keep the character and actor. **** CAN the lame ****ing writers... Pull away from the supernatural...

Was it Gibbs who wanted to get back to some old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness pirating...?

 

[Strikerkc]

Eh, I get it. If they want to tell new stories in the same kind of set up and film, they're fresh out of space in the indies to do anything that doesn't involve all the lore they've set up. My preference would be a Pirates style film that just focused on new characters, didn't involve Jack Sparrow, and didn't bother itself with any of the lore set up in the existing films; which would essentially be a reboot.

 

[Nismo]

Feels too soon - but if you are a spiderman or batman fan it seems pretty normal.

 

[astroboy]

I think a spin off could really work. Although I only watched the first three, They really created a fantastic world on the high seas. Like monkey island.

I think they could really do great by doing standalone "tales from the caribbean" movies

I am waiting for the reboot fad to die off. I enjoyed reboots of Batman, James Bond etc. as an alternative trying to continue the same story lines already established. Giving established characters a fresh story and path to follow. However, we ended up with reboots of characters each time they change actors now.

This is a story and character that needs to sit on the shelf for a while. I would rather see Disney develop that Haunted Mansion movie that we heard about years ago.

I saw an interview with M. Night shamalyn of Norm Mcdonald last night and he was talking about how when the sixth sense came out, original stories were huge. And he listed all the great movies that came out that year. And I saw them all in the theatre.

and I got sad

 

[Cappy]

I'm all for new characters. The movies are called "Pirates of", not Pirate from.
