A movie poster for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has been released online. The fourth in the franchise, still starring Johnny Depp, takes its naming cues from Harry Potter, Mission Impossible, and James Bond movies; hence, ‘[Franchise name][random number between one and 25][much needed semicolon][string of adjectives selected by running lines from HIMYM through Google Translate into Russian and then back again].’ We’ve already seen Depp, who’s currently promoting The Tourist, filming scenes for Pirates 4. He was in Greenwich for a good portion of the early filming, and despite him being about 45 minutes away, I couldn’t bring myself to put down that last slice of pizza and go see him. That slice would have gone cold and wasn’t going to eat itself. The Walt Disney Pictures’ poster looks like the usual fare; it’s a silver skull and crossbones image. The title’s missing, but the release date is listed as May 20.
