Pirates of the Caribbean

That’s according to one of its writers!

Margot Robbie says it is no longer happening.

That’s according to his agent’s sworn testimony.

Which one do you most want to visit?

The film will be a “female-fronted” version of the material.

The creator of ‘Chernobyl’ is working on the film.

It may be a pirates life for the writing team behind ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Zombieland.’

No longer will guests be able to watch as men dressed like glam rockers buy and sell women as entertainment.

The Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland and Disney World is a fun time: Jack Sparrow is there, planning another one of his escapades amongst scenes that are half new and half a collection of greatest hits from the movies. One of these original scenes, the “Wench Auction” will no longer be a part of the ride, Disney Parks announced today. Instead, it will be replaced with something way less uncomfortable and, hopefully, more entertaining.

The moment a Hollywood franchise jumps the shark is kind of a mixed blessing. Take the Pirates of the Caribbean films, for example. While the latest entry in the franchise  —  Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales  —  has received a good going-over by the critics, more than a few have taken this as an opportunity to revisit the success of the original film. On paper, absolutely nothing about Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl should’ve worked, and yet, here we are, 14 years and three-point-five billion dollars later, still remembering how it took us all by surprise.
