Tim Burton, Sam Raimi Being Considered for Pirates 5
By Alex Suskind
Posted Jun 2nd 2011
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is still raking in the dough in theaters, so naturally the studio bigwigs have begun planning yet another entry in the billion-dollar franchise.
Critics may have trashed the latest one, but since it's already made $164 million at the box office, the only question is: who is going to end up shooting the fifth installment?
An offer has been on the table for Stranger Tides director Rob Marshall since January, but he still has not signed on. So, Disney has had to draw up a contingency plan just in case Marshall doesn't return.
Here are the names on the studio's wishlist:
Shawn Levy (Date Night)
Sam Raimi (The Spider-Man Series)
Chris Weitz (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)
Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland and frequent Johnny Depp collaborator)
