Captain Jack Sparrow Returns

Johnny Depp's tour guide on his"Pirates of the Caribbean"voyages is plotting the course for a fifth installment even before the fourth movie sails into theaters.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he has a screenplay in the works for a fifth"Pirates"tale after May's"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"comes out.

Based on the Disney theme-park ride, the original three"Pirates"blockbusters ended up as a trilogy continuing the same key characters and story line. Bruckheimer says"On Stranger Tides"and future"Pirates"flicks will be stand-alone stories continuing the adventures of Depp's Capt. Jack Sparrow.

Directed by Rob Marshall ("Chicago"),"On Stranger Tides"sends Jack on a quest for the fountain of youth.

At test screenings of the 3D"On Stranger Tides,""the audience told us what they loved about it is that it was fresh, it was new, it was a whole new story,"Bruckheimer said in an interview with Marshall."As long as the audience embraces this one, we'll certainly try to make another one."

Geoffrey Rush reprises his role as Jack's rival, Barbossa, who has switched sides, no longer a pirate but a privateer sailing on the orders of the British monarchy. Penelope Cruz co-stars as the fiery daughter of the pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane).

Marshall popped the question about co-starring in the"Pirates"sequel over dinner with Cruz while he was directing her in the musical"Nine."

"She jumped out of her chair and said,'Oh, my God. I'd love to. I've always wanted to do an adventure like this.'So it was perfect,"Marshall said."I had mentioned her to Jerry and Johnny , and immediately they said yes, that seems exactly right. Because there are not that many people that really can match him. He's so unique, and he has so many different characteristics. Charisma and sex appeal. He's funny and he's athletic and he's a strong actor. So who can match that?"
