Comic-Con: Pirates 4 Sets Sail for 2011
Fri, July 24, 2009 
Just about the only thing we've known for certain about Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was that would eventually happen. As God-awful as they were, the last two films made about $2 billion between and there's too much money for the Mouse to make from another go-around. Of course, what really made it certain was Johnny Depp signing on to play Captain Jack Sparrow once again.
The most recent news-items (coming straight from producer Jerry Bruckheimer) was that the film had been delayed to 2012 while everyone is busy on other projects. Thus giving screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio more time to crack the story.
Well, the good folks over at Coming Soon had an exclusive chat with Disney Head of Production Oren Aviv who says that is not exactly the case:
"We're going to shoot 'Pirates 4' in April and May of next year. We are going to release it hopefully in 2011 is the plan."
Keep in mind, that Aviv is involved with the day-to-day process of getting these films underway. So one should take what he says seriously.
With the recent surprises at the Con on its first full day (Depp made an unexpected appearance at the Disney panel showing off Alice in Wonderland footage with his director/BFF Tim Burton), could we be in store for more Pirates 4 news over the course of this weekend?

Oh good
I enjoyed all three films even thought the sequels were too long and not as good as the first, but just get rid of the Turner and Swan stroyline...its been done to death.
