New Captain
Looks like Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer have settled on director Rob Marshall to helm the next PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN film starring Johnny Depp as the lovable Capt. Jack Sparrow. The BFDeal Memo at Variety had the news, Disney is on the verge of putting Rob Marshall in as director of a fourth installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean," a move that puts the film on track for a 2010 production start, with Johnny Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney have been meeting with a number of directors in recent weeks, because the studio wants to pull the "Pirates" film together and have Depp star in it before he does "The Lone Ranger" for the producer and the studio. While Marshall's involvement wasn't immediately confirmed, sources said things look good enough that the studio has begun casting new characters that will appear in the picture.

The Twilight Saga Finally (and Officially)

That's all that stands between the release of the next installment of The Twilight Saga and its endless droves of fans around the world. But fret not, because those genius New Moon folks have taken to the Web and launched The World of Twilight, an official site for all things Edward Cullen (all right, Bella and Jacob, too, but really, it's all about Robert Pattinson, isn't it?).
The website mainly focuses on November's New Moon, but also encompasses the original phenomenon, Twilight, and "Coming Soon" pages for installments three and four, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. The World of Twilight also boasts tons of video, behind-the-scenes pictures, story descriptions (as if we all don't already know) and even links to an online store. Not too shabby.
Definitely worth a glance if you have any time in the next three months or so. How else would you possibly fill the New Moon void?
