Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is an upcoming American fantasy swashbuckler film, and the fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. The film will be directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg from a script by Jeff Nathanson, with Jerry Bruckheimer again serving as producer. The film is scheduled to star Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa, Javier Bardem as the film's villain, Captain Salazar, as well as Brenton Thwaites as Henry, Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth, and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner. Pre-production for the film started shortly before the fourth installment On Stranger Tides was released in early 2011, with writer Terry Rossio doing a script for the film. In early 2013, Jeff Nathanson was hired to write a new script, with Depp being involved in Nathanson's writing process. Initially planned for a 2015 release, the film was delayed to 2016 and then to 2017, due to script and budget issues. Principal photography started in Australia in February 2015, after the Australian government offered Disney $20 million of tax incentives and ended in July 2015. It is set to be released in 3D on July 7, 2017. Cast[edit] Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow[4] An eccentric pirate captain on the hunt for the Trident of Poseidon, which bestows control over the seas. Javier Bardem as Captain Salazar[1] A ghost pirate trapped in the Devil's Triangle. After escaping, he seeks the Trident of Poseidon to kill every pirate at sea and exact revenge on his former nemesis, Jack Sparrow.[1] Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa[5] Brenton Thwaites as Henry[1] A young man who tries to reconnect with his father, Davy Jones. He struggles to break a curse that is preventing him from doing so.[6] Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth.[1] An astronomer. Scodelario explained the character's motivation and role saying, "she is an academic, she's fighting for the right to study at university, because women couldn't at that time. So she's on her own journey - looking for the trident of Poseidon - and she has a diary with clues."[7] She was keen to express the difference between Carina and Elizabeth Swann, believing that she was not just a carbon copy of that character.[8] Orlando Bloom as Will Turner/Davy Jones[9] A blacksmith-turned-pirate who is transformed into the superhuman entity Davy Jones at the end of the third film. Speaking about his possible return to the franchise, Bloom stated that he would love to portray a character outside of his usual role types as a good-looking hero: "I’m of course Davey Jones now, so I’m down the bottom of the ocean. It might be kind of fun to do something where I’m rumbling round the bottom of the ocean, because I won’t look anything like me. [Gestures to face] Get all gnarly."[10] Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs[1] Stephen Graham as Scrum[1] Martin Klebba as Marty[11] Golshifteh Farahani[1] David Wenham[12] Adam Brown[13] Danny Kirrane[13] Delroy Atkinson[13]Development[edit] Johnny Depp in a film premiere.

Shortly before the release of On Stranger Tides in 2011, it was confirmed that writer Terry Rossio was writing on a script for a fifth film without his writing partner Ted Elliot.[14] Furthermore, the cast and crew of the fourth film were told not to occupy their time in the near future, as Walt Disney Pictures intended to shoot a fifth and sixth film back-to-back.[15] However, it was later stated that only a fifth film was in the works. On January 11, 2013, Jeff Nathanson signed on to write the script for the film.[16] On May 29, 2013, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg were selected to direct.[17] This decision was based both on their Academy Award nominated high sea film Kon-Tiki, as well as their ability to work with a limited budget.[18] On August 22, 2013, Rønning and Sandberg revealed that the title of the fifth film would be Dead Men Tell No Tales.[19] They also confirmed that they were working on the film, speaking highly of Jeff Nathanson's "funny and touching" script and that they are inspired by the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl.[20] Kaya Scodelario felt that the film "will have much more of the feel of the first film, the producers want to take it back to the beginning again.
