―Tagline
(also known as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Revenge of Salazar outside of the US) is the fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, released on May 26, 2017, as the sequel to On Stranger Tides. The film is directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The film stars Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow), Javier Bardem (Captain Salazar), Brenton Thwaites (Henry Turner), Kaya Scodelario (Carina Smyth) and Geoffrey Rush (Captain Hector Barbossa).
Pre-production for the film started in 2011 with Terry Rossio writing a script for the film. In early 2013, Jeff Nathanson was hired to write a new script with Depp being involved in Nathanson's writing process. Initially planned for a 2015 release, the film was pushed back to 2016 and then 2017, due to script and budget issues. Principal photography started in Australia in February 2015 after the Australian government offered Disney $20 million of tax incentives.
Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Ba...
A young boy and his father
"I've read about a treasure. A treasure that holds all the power of the sea. The Trident of Poseidon can break your curse." ―Young Henry to Will Turner Will Turner's son, Henry Turner, is seen traveling out to sea before using a makeshift anchor to take himself to the ocean floor to reach to the Flying Dutchman. The ship then bursts out of the water, with Will approaching Henry. Will admonishes his son's decision as Henry tries to convince his father that his curse can be broken by the Trident of Poseidon, but Will begs to differ and believes that the Trident can never be found. Henry even vows to find Jack Sparrow for help but Will tells his son to stay away from the pirate and the sea. He gives his son his necklace, as he tells him to give up on him. Many years later, Henry is a sailor aboard the Monarch, a British naval vessel that's chasing a Dutch barque that was stolen by pirates. Henry notices they are going into the Devil's Triangle and tries to warn the captain but is arrested right before they enter the Triangle. They see the remains of the pirate vessel and soon encounter a ghost ship known as the Silent Mary captained by former Spanish commander Captain Salazar. Salazar kills every man aboard except for Henry when he notices that he is looking for Jack Sparrow. He then tasks Henry with carrying a message to Jack about his vengeance.
Saint Martin
"I'm sorry, Jack. But we've reached the end of the horizon." ―Joshamee Gibbs to Jack Sparrow Later, at Saint Martin, a woman named Carina Smyth is accused of being a witch due to her occupation as an astronomer and seeks to escape. Meanwhile, Jack Sparrow and his crew attempt to rob a bank but the plot turns out disastrously with no coin left to spare inside the vault. Henry finds himself waking up while being shackled to a bed due to the removal of his coat's sleeves, which is a sign of treason left on him by Captain Toms. He is soon approached by Carina who asks him about the Trident of Poseidon. They are both then chased by British soldiers and make an escape attempt. Carina soon sneaks into an astronomy shop where she helps the owner out before she runs into Jack and he helps her escape separate ways after a brief conversation. Carina is soon captured and then taken back to the prison. During a blood moon, Carina uses the light to uncover a secret clue on the diary's cover using a red jewel. Later, Jack is abandoned by his crew and sets off on their own. Broke and disheveled, Jack then trades his compass for a bottle of rum, noticing that the compass began to shake and rattle but unaware that this was the key to setting Salazar and his crew free from the Devil's Triangle. The compass later ends up in the hands of Shansa, which makes its way to Hector Barbossa after learning that the dead have taken command of the sea. Jack is later captured, but long before being sent for execution, he meets Henry Turner who needs his help to free his father and coercing Jack into helping him by mentioning the undead Armando Salazar is hunting him down. The next morning as he is taken away, he finds his uncle in a jail cell and has a brief conversation. Carina and Jack attempt to stall during the execution process in order to save themselves, but both were able to escape with the help of Henry and Jack's crew.
Destruction of Barbossa's fleet
"But now you come to me in fear, as the dead have taken command of the sea." "And what would the dead be wanting with me?" "Not you, Captain. They're searching for a Sparrow." "Jack?" "Jack will sail for the Trident... with a girl and a Pearl." ―Shansa and Hector Barbossa Barbossa and Salazar make a deal Barbossa is informed by Mullroy and Murtogg that several ships had been attacked by the Silent Mary. Because of this, Barbossa seeks out the witch Shansa and she tells Barbossa the dead are really after Jack and warns him to leave his pirate life behind or he'll die but he refuses and she gives him Jack Sparrow's compass. With this, he decides to speak with Salazar and sets out. Barbossa's crew locate Salazar, as the Silent Mary approaches the Queen Anne's Revenge with the intent to destroy it. Barbossa prevents this by calling out to Salazar by mentioning Jack's name. Salazar boards the ship and has his men kill the crew until he gets Jack's location but Barbossa doesn't know his exact location. However, he manages to prevent himself from being killed by promising to find Jack by the next day. Unfortunately, however, some of Barbossa's crewmen led to a fate of death as he and the survivors travel with Salazar. As Barbossa traveled with Salazar to find Jack, Salazar begins to tell his tale of how Jack took his life away. Once Salazar finished telling his tale to Barbossa, he prepares to kill the latter but Barbossa notices the Dying Gull sailing up ahead and tells Salazar. At this moment, Salazar was ready to enforce his revenge.

Development
Shortly before the release of On Stranger Tides, preparations were being made for Pirates of the Caribbean 5. When Entertainment Tonight reporter Mark Steines visited the On Stranger Tides set shot at the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot in summer 2010, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said, "if people show up for 4, we'll certainly try and do a 5. We're already working on a story, laid out some kind of interesting beats, things we’d like to see in 5. So that's where our writers are working." On December 3, 2010, HitFix reported that Disney began quietly telling the cast and crew of the fourth film to not occupy their time in the near future, as the studio intended to shoot a fifth and sixth film back-to-back. However, it had since been stated that only a fifth film was in the works. On January 13, 2011, screenwriter Terry Rossio was confirmed to write the screenplay for the fifth installment, but without his writing partner, Ted Elliott. Johnny Depp said that he would be happy to return as Captain Jack Sparrow. After receiving positive responses at test screenings of On Stranger Tides, producer Jerry Bruckheimer indicated that the fifth film would be a stand-alone film. On June 2011, it was reported that Disney has a wishlist of directors they would like to direct, as Rob Marshall has not yet accepted nor declined to direct. The list includes Tim Burton, Sam Raimi, Alfonso Cuarón, Shawn Levy, Chris Weitz, and original Pirates director Gore Verbinski. Verbinski and Burton were Disney's top choices as they have both worked with Disney and Johnny Depp on previous projects. On July 2011, Jerry Bruckheimer posted on Facebook that they had a draft and were working on the film. It was also reported that Johnny Depp was close to a deal for the fifth film. On October 2011, Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that they were in the outline phase, "We have a script, but we decided we could do better," implying that rewrites were underway. In an interview, Kevin McNally implied that a 2012 production start date was possible. Because of the financial success of On Stranger Tides, it was believed that Rob Marshall may return to direct. However, as of January 2012, Terry Rossio was still reworking the script, and that Rob Marshall and Johnny Depp were still not signed on. On January 11, 2013, Jeff Nathanson had been hired to write the script for the film, though it is unclear whether or not Nathanson would be working from Terry Rossio's draft or if he'll be tackling the project as a page one rewrite. On January 14, Disney announced that Pirates of the Caribbean 5 would be released on July 10, 2015. On May 9, Deadline reported that Disney's short list of directors included Fredrik Bond, Joachim Rønning & Espen Sandberg, and Rupert Sanders. On May 29, Norwegian duo Rønning and Sandberg were confirmed to direct. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer stated that the duo's latest movie at the time, Kon-Tiki, convinced him that they were capable of directing. Rønning and Sandberg were interested in making the fifth Pirates so they settled in Hollywood and started working on it. Bruckheimer also said that the film would maintain the mixture of high seas adventure and supernatural horror and implied that part of the fifth installment may film in Louisiana, before quickly adding: "But it will also be set in the Caribbean, obviously." On August 22, Rønning and Sandberg revealed that the film's title would be Dead Men Tell No Tales, alluding to the line well-known from the original Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. The duo also confirmed that they begun work on the film, speaking highly of the script and that they were influenced by the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl. "We have a great script that Jeff Nathanson has written," Sandberg said. "It's really funny and touching. We're really looking forward to realizing everything." On September 10, 2013, it was reported that the film had been delayed beyond its initial 2015 release due to issues with the script, and that Jeff Nathanson was at work on a second attempt based on a well-received outline. On March 18, 2014, Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger stated that the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film has not yet been given the greenlight. The following month, Jerry Bruckheimer spoke about the fifth Pirates, "We're working on it, it's hopefully moving forward. Johnny is excited about it, obviously Disney is, we're excited about it. So hopefully we'll get that going this fall or end of the year if everything lines up properly." Bruckheimer declined to speculate about a sixth Pirates film, saying simply, "We make 'em one at a time." On July 23, 2014, Disney announced that the film had been slated in a new release date of July 7, 2017. However, by January 2016, Disney revealed Dead Men Tell No Tales would be released on May 26, 2017, from its previously scheduled date.
Writing
On January 13, 2011, screenwriter Terry Rossio was confirmed to write the screenplay for the fifth installment, but without his writing partner, Ted Elliott. On May 2011, it was reported that Terry Rossio delivered the script for the fifth film to Disney executives, but the report was later debunked by Rossio himself. On July 2011, Jerry Bruckheimer posted on Facebook that they had a draft and were working on the film. On October 2011, Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that they were in the outline phase, "We have a script, but we decided we could do better," implying that rewrites were underway. Bruckheimer later noted that Terry Rossio was doing his "usual phenomenal work" on the film's script. As of January 2012, Rossio was still reworking the script. Rossio's version of the film was ultimately discarded, "My version of Dead Men Tell No Tales was set aside because it featured a female villain, and Johnny Depp was worried that would be redundant to Dark Shadows, which also featured a female villain." On January 11, 2013, Jeff Nathanson had been hired to write the script for the film, though it is unclear whether or not Nathanson would be working from Terry Rossio's draft or if he'll be tackling the project as a page one rewrite. On September 10, 2013, it was reported that the film had been delayed beyond its initial 2015 release due to issues with the script, and that Jeff Nathanson was at work on a second attempt based on a well-received outline. On April 2014, Johnny Depp said in an interview that Bruckheimer and Disney had invited him in to collaborate with screenwriter Jeff Nathanson to bring a "fresh and very different" Pirates film, implying that it might be the last one in the series. Depp was quoted in saying:
Filming
In 2013, producer Jerry Bruckheimer implied that part of the fifth installment may film in Louisiana, before quickly adding: "But it will also be set in the Caribbean, obviously." On January 15, 2014, directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg confirmed that shooting would start in Puerto Rico and New Orleans at the end of 2014. Bruckheimer previously mentioned that there might be a sequence in Louisiana, and Rønning and Sandberg were aboard the Sunset in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. As of June 2014, Bruckheimer stated a possible production start date of early 2015. A spokesman for the Australian Arts Minister, George Brandis, confirmed that Pirates of the Caribbean 5 was set to shoot in Australia after the government agreed to repurpose $20 million of tax incentives originally intended for the remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. According to Australian film industry sources, pre-production started in late September 2014 and filming is expected to commence in February 2015. This was officially confirmed by Disney and the Queensland Arts Minister on October 2, 2014, stating that filming will take place exclusively in Australia, being the largest production to ever shoot in the country. Village Roadshow Studios and Port Douglas were officially confirmed as filming locations. On January 1, 2015, the Rainbow Gypsy, a 15-year-old replica of an 1897 Scottish bawley sailed into the Gold Coast, Australia, to start the extensive refit, which included a new bowsprit and reconfigured decks and cabins in order to become the Dying Gull.

•The film takes place one year after Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Its comic book adaptation reveals the film is set in 1751, while On Stranger Tides was confirmed to be set in 1750.
•This would be the first POTC film that was written without Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. Since before the release of On Stranger Tides in 2011, Rossio had done some work on the film's script, but was later replaced by Jeff Nathanson in 2013.
•As of the start of the film's production on February 2015, Mike Stenson and Terry Rossio were not listed as Executive Producers of the film, which supposedly confirmed they are no longer associated with the Pirates franchise. Despite this, both of their names appear to be listed under the "Productions" list on Rossio's website Wordplay, as well as the film's credits.
•Dead Men Tell No Tales would be the first film in the franchise not to feature composer Hans Zimmer, with his place taken by Geoff Zanelli, one of Zimmer’s longtime protégés.
•The film's flashback sequence seemingly causes a contradiction to the franchise's timeline. In the film, Jack obtains both his compass and the Wicked Wench during the battle with Salazar. It was originally established in the tie-in book The Pirates' Code Guidelines (released in 2007) and the prequel novel The Price of Freedom (released in 2011) that Jack received the Wicked Wench from Cutler Beckett while working for the East India Trading Company, while Dead Man's Chest states Jack received the compass from Tia Dalma which was also confirmed in The Price of Freedom. However, it is possible that Jack simply bartered the compass from Tia Dalma for his captain and at some point lost the Wench which was bought by Cutler Beckett. Also, according to Jerry Bruckheimer, Jack was eighteen years old during the flashback scene, which sets the scene before the events of The Price of Freedom where he was twenty-five when Cutler Beckett gave him command of the Wicked Wench.
•Elizabeth Swann's appearance in Dead Men Tell No Tales marks the only film in which she doesn't speak.
