Jerry Bruckheimer (American film and television producer), and Johnny Depp are raising the anchor and setting sail on another Pirates of the Caribbean adventure, this time with Kon Tiki directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg at the helm. The follow-up to 2011's 'On Stranger Tides' has been named 'Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,' co-directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg revealed.
The duo has been working on "Dead Men Tell No Tales" since May, when they were announced as Disney's choice to direct. "We've been on it now for a couple of months, so we are in preproduction. We are in our office at Disney in Burbank," Rønning said. "It's just great, working with Johnny Depp and the Bruckheimer camp. It's a dream come true, really." This kind of directing gig has been a long time coming for the team, who have worked together since they were boys.
Though they couldn't reveal too much about the fifth installment, they spoke highly of the script and said they are "very influenced" by the first film, "The Curse of the Black Pearl." "We have a great script that Jeff Nathanson has written," Sandberg said. "It's really funny and touching. We're really looking forward to realizing everything."Rønning and Sandberg expect to go into production sometime early next year, with a July 2015 release date already on the books.
The film's script is being written by Jeff Nathanson, whose previous screenwriting credits include Rush Hour 2, Rush Hour 3 and Catch Me If You Can.
Johnny Depp will be back for his fifth appearance as Captain Jack Sparrow, a character he famously based on Keith Richards, who endorsed Depp's performance by playing Sparrow's father, Captain Teague, in the two most recent Pirates movies.
Meanwhile, it's been reported that Orlando Bloom could be returning to the franchise after he sat out On Stranger Tides.

The four previous movies have grossed a collective $3.7 billion (£2.3 billion) worldwide, making Pirates Of The Caribbean the fifth biggest film franchise ever.
"Dead men tell no tales" is a well-known line from the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride at Disneyland, California and other Disney theme parks.
