User blog comment:J Fan/Pirates 5 has a release date!/@comment-3106883-20130116002152

This is great news. Johnny Depp seems to be very busy right now, so I have been wondering when they were going to get Pirates 5 into his schedule. I am hoping this means they have gotten everything scheduled and planned out for whenever shooting begins. It's an obvious assumption, but I would guess that more information on the next movie will be coming out this month. It is interesting that they chose to issue the release date so early, which they haven't done for any previous Pirates movie, if I remember correctly.
