Speaking with ComicBook.com, producer Jerry Bruckheimer stressed that the franchise was still on track to return but that they would now be bringing in a new cast to tell new stories, adding that he was unsure if Pirates or another legacy series, Top Gun, would return to screens first.
“It’s hard to tell. You don’t know, you really don’t know. You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know. Because with Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can’t tell you. But we’re gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.”

It’s not so much that their out of ideas, it’s that they don’t want to take a chance on a new idea. Why take a risk on a unknown writer or producing what could be a revolutionary film when you can just regurgitate a movie that you know was already a hit before?
I worked in a 20 screen theater during the summer is 2005. Only 4 screens out if that 20 weren’t reboots or sequels.
