Variety reports that Nathanson will script Pirates of the Caribbean 5. While Catch Me If You Can was well-written, the rest of Nathanson’s achievements are not so shiny. His other projects include: Speed 2: Cruise Control; Rush Hour 2 and Rush Hour 3; Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Tower Heist. Yikes. Variety also reports that Nathanson will pen the adaptation of The 39 Clues.
As for Pirates of the Caribbean 5, we know that previous reports about the film shooting in and around Puerto Rico turned out to be erroneous and we know that Penelope Cruz hasn’t received any offers of scripts. Not much to go on. What we can count on is that Depp will be courted to return for a fifth film as the man is a box office treasure trove. Two of the four films (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) are billion-dollar earners with spots in the top ten all-time box offices, while a third (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End) sits just under a billion in the 16th overall spot.
