Isn't "On Stranger Tides" the title of the novel that The Secret of Monkey Island was based on?

pirates, mermaids and zombies... what can possibly go wrong?
This isn't part of the Will Turner saga, as that ended with At World's End. This is about Jack once again looking for a way to live forever, using the charts he stole from Barbossa at the end of At World's End. He's trying to find the Fountain of Youth, so the movie is likely going to be about him looking for someone who knows where it is, while trying to keep people who really shouldn't live forever away from it. Expect to see references to Juan Ponce de León, as he's pretty well tied into the legend.

Love the hell out of the series, love the hell out of Jack Sparrow. I'll be there opening day and will add it to my DVD collection when it's released. Simple as that.
PotC has been ripping on "On Stranger Tides" from the start. Now it is official. Disney owns the rights to the novel and they are joining the two story lines together.
Just based on the trailer, I can already tell I am going to like this more then the last two movies. To be honest, my two biggest issues with the last two movies was...
1) It destroyed much of the tight, satisfying ending of the original.
2) It was attempting to be way more epic then it should have been, with "pirate kings", sea goddesses, the ability to travel into the lands of the dead, etc...
The first movie was simply pirates that were cursed by mysterious aztec gold, and I liked that simplicity. We didn't need krakens, gods, armadas and shit.
I am just curious how they are going to talk up Blackbeard though, considering he is following up Davy f'ing Jones. I guess they are just going to explain he works outside the other pirates or something since they all were shown to have a club in the last movie.

Hearing Penelope Cruz speak spanish with an andalusian accent is kinda funny.

So what did she actually say? Something about coming here and doing something to Jack's head?
"Come here or I'll rip your head off!"

Penelope Cruz is fucking rad, they shoulda made the movie about her. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want this to be good. If I was a praying man, I'd pray for this to have a tight but light-hearted script. Please Haysus don't let this be the POTC equivalent of Wolverine ...
On the for real tip though, even if the bits in the trailer are the only good ones, it'll probably still achieve that.

I'm excited for this! I didn't even know there'd be more movies XD
