Interview, Jerry Bruckheimer talks Pirates 4

MoviesOnline recently caught up with producer extraordinaire Jerry Bruckheimer at the Los Angeles Press Day for his latest film, the soon-to-be-released "Déjà Vu" starring Denzel Washington, Paula Patton, Val Kilmer, Jim Caviezel, and Adam Goldberg. He updated us on the progress of Pirates 3 ("Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End") which is currently filming as well as the possibility of a Pirates 4 given the incredible success of Pirates 1 and 2. Mr. Bruckheimer is a sensational producer and we really appreciated his time. Here’s what he had to tell us:

Q: What have you seen in the poster for Pirates 3 that’s got you really excited?

JB: We have Chow Yung-Fat which is really interesting and exciting. It’s a thrill to be able to work with him. There’s always new stuff. We’ve got an ending that’s amazing. It’s really a nice ride and it’s still filming.

Q: Is Keith Richards in it?

JB: He’s in it. We finished him. He’s filmed. He’s got a small little cameo.

Q: Is his head okay now?

JB: Apparently. (laughter) He was great to be with. He didn’t want to leave. He was having the best time.

Q: Is there going to be a Pirates 4?

JB: I hope so. I hope so if we could come up with a good story. I think we have a big jump on a story that we’re going to do.

Q: When I interviewed you for the second one, you said, ‘Oh, we don’t know yet.’ With the latest one doing so well, it seems there may be a fourth one coming out?

JB: Yeah, we hope so. We hope so.
