According to The DisInsider, Disney is apparently pushing forward with the next Pirates movie, and Depp is onboard. No further details have been revealed, but it has been rumoured for a while that Disney actually had multiple options to tackle the next POTC movie—one of which was said to have Margot Robbie (Barbie) as the new lead.

Admittedly, though Depp has been included in every Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the critical reception of the films have just been going downward since its last high which was At World’s End. Though Depp still had some enthusiasm in the Jack Sparrow character on Stranger Tides, it does seem like he was just going through the motions in Dead Men Tell No Tales—constantly slurring his speech and lacking any of the fire that Jack had in the earlier films.

Personally I was hoping that they would give the Jack Sparrow character a break for a while, and some have said that the real people behind the success of the franchise isn’t Depp, but director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. I just really think that Depp has to get back on his feet with smaller projects first before being thrust into the big-budget world of Pirates of the Caribbean again.

No release date has been announced for the next Pirates of the Caribbean film.

]]> Stitch is Ready to Wreak Havoc in First Teaser for Live-Action Lilo & Stitch https://www.geekfeed.com/first-teaser-for-live-action-lilo-stitch/ Thu, 28 Nov 2024 09:30:20 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=85382 Lilo & Stitch was a Disney gem from their experimental era, and the movie is set to have a live-action remake coming out next year. Just in, Disney has dropped a first teaser featuring their CG version of stitch.

Check this out:

The scene is a parody of an original moment from the animated movie where Stitch rebuilds a miniature San Franciso in Lilo’s room and slowly destroys it like a miniature kaiju. This scene in particular:

We don’t know if Stitch is going to be doing the same thing in the live-action version, but it does look like they’re going to be changing it so that he’s destroying a bunch of sandcastles instead of a makeshift diorama in Lilo’s room.

I’ll admit, it’s a fun homage, but it still doesn’t hold a candle to Disney’s original campaign for the animate movie where they literally insert Stitch into classic scenes from the Disney renaissance period. Check these out:

Now that’s movie marketing.

Originally Lilo & Stitch was marketed as a straight-to-streaming movie, but ever since the Bob Iger re-takeover, it looks like the movie is going to have a theatrical release. Though the film didn’t get the same status as Disney renaissance classics, I’m sure there’s a bunch of millenials out there who would love to go back on a Hawaiian roller coster ride next year.

Lilo & Stitch live-action is set to come out in theatres on May 23, 2025.
