Johnny Depp on deck for 'Pirates of the Caribbean 5'

Courtesy HuffPo

The Huffington Post is reporting there will be a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean which Disney is planning to release July 10, 2015 - and yes Johnny Depp will be returning as Captain Jack Sparrow. No word yet on who will be directing the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced film, but Jeff Nathanson (Tower Heist, Catch Me If You Can) will be writing its script.

The premise of the movie is still unclear, but Disney the new Pirates along with the March 21, 2014, release of Muppets 2, the revisionist fairy tale Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie on July 2, 2014, and Brad Bird's sci-fi tale starring George Clooney (and penned by Damon Lindelof) on Dec. 19, 2014.

Oh yeah, and with the Avengers sequel due in 2015 as well as a tale from a galaxy far, far away, it would seem Disney has some exciting projects up its mouse sleeves.

Are you excited for a new Pirates movie or do you think the franchise should walk the plank?

'The Muppets' fake-out teaser trailer hits

If you saw Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides last weekend, you were treated to the duplicitous teaser trailer about a new cryptozoological, paranorm ... aw, screw it.

It's not really on topic but is a really awesome teaser for the new Muppet movie starring Jason Segel from How I Met Your Mother.

Posing as a standard romantic comedy called Green With Envy, you're left with a giddy grin once the reveal happens. Segel also earned writing duties on the film after creating the Dracula's Lament puppet show in his 2008 film, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. OK, so Dracula, a vampire brings us right back into the paranormal theme. Plus The Muppets (opening Nov. 23, 2011) co-stars a Gonzo and an Animal, which are clearly cryptids!

Teaser embedded for your amusement after the jump. And as a bonus embed, we've included Jason Segel performing the entire Dracula song on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson's 1000th episode.
