Description

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 Captain Jack Sparrow, Javier Bardem as the film's villain, Captain Salazar, Geoffrey Rush as Sparrow's enemy and Bardem's predecessor as villain, Captain Barbossa, Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario as the film's two young main love interests who are essentially the main characters and audience surrogates.

Pre-production for the film started in 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. It is set to be released in 3D on July 7, 2017.
