"We have an outline everyone loves but the script is not done," producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells The Hollywood Reporter, revealing that the box office failure of this year's The Lone Ranger has made everyone involved with the production more cautious about the budget for the fifth instalment in the Pirates series. "It's all a factor. We want a script that everyone’s signed off on and a budget that everyone’s signed off on."
Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is to be directed by Kon-Tiki filmmakers Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, with screenwriter Jeff Nathanson currently busy rewriting the script from his original outline. Of course, Disney still has plenty on its slate for 2015, with the aforementioned Ant-Man joined by The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Star Wars: Episode VII and Pixar's Inside Out.
