User blog comment:Mr. Joshamee Gibbs/Pirates 5's New Release Date Announced !/@comment-1984959-20140723224631

Aye, great news indeed! Somehow suspected a 2017 release was gonna happen, mainly because of the competition (holds a Batman v Superman banner lol) Regard to Dent's post below, he makes a good point. While this seems to imply a script was greenlit (even when pre-production starts, a script isn't 100% complete)... bear in mind, 2017 is a long way away, and the fate of the original 2015 release is a perfect example of how things can change.

With all that being said...

Hopefully, this one will stay afloat and not get delayed... again. Good find, Master Gibbs! ;)
