Added to all of that, we now have news via über-producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s Twitter feed that principal photography on the film has wrapped, moving now into post-production ready for next summer’s release. JB also said in his tweet that a trailer for the film would arrive on 17th December, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled for that and bring it to you as soon as we can.
POTC: On Stranger Tides is following on from some insanely successful franchise entries (at least in commercial terms), with At World’s End topping $950m and Dead Man’s Chest winding up north of the $1bn mark. And that was without the added box-office assistance of inflated 3D ticket prices. Give that On Stranger Tides will be competing with Transformers, Thor, Captain America and Cowboys & Aliens, it will be interesting to see how well it stands up.
What do you think? Are you in the mood for more of Captains Sparrow and Barbossa? Can POTC:OST match the success of the earlier films? Comment below.
