As fans keep waiting for a substantial update on the production of Pirates of the Caribbean 6, a recent statement by one of the franchise's most important players may have revealed an image of things to come. No, it wasn't Johnny Depp or any other cast member of the modern classic. Instead, it was director Gore Verbinski, the visionary director who took Disney's original vision and constructed a fascinating product that merged family entertainment with the right amount of edginess. Verbinski was responsible for bringing the first three films to life, but now he has admitted he won't be involved in the upcoming revival of the action-adventure franchise. Suddenly, the return of the live-action classic by Disney just got less exciting.
