I am reporting this bit of news from ComingSoon.net's interview with producer Jerry Bruckheimer only because I am actually quite baffled talk of a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 has not died down or even come to a complete halt.

We love the character and Johnny was really excited about coming back to Captain Jack.

Reel Talk —
Are there any animal movies that aren’t sad? Now that I’m scarred from “Marley & Me,” it’s hard to get excited about Diane Lane being cast in “Secretariat” because I doubt I’ll see it. Variety reports the Disney film is about Penny Chenery’s (Lane) relationship with her 1973 Triple Crown-winning racehorse named Secretariat. Chenery was a typical housewife until her father fell ill and she was introduced to the world of horse racing. She took over his Virginia farm and was pressured to sell the establishment after his death. Between a dying loved one and knowing that Secretariat is ...

The beloved actor has also agreed to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film. These roles emerged as a double-announcement made back in late 2008.
