Disney has chosen Norwegian filmmakers Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg to make the next Pirates Of The Caribbean.
According to Deadline.com, Rob Marshall, who made Pirates 4, is to be succeeded by this Scandinavian duo, who made their breakthrough in 2006 with the Western Bandidas, produced by Luc Besson and starring Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek.
The two teammates won out over Rupert Sanders and Fredrik Bond to make the next pirate picture starring Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 is scheduled to start shooting at the end of the year or beginning of 2014.
Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg may have been picked partly for their knowledge of the sea. Last winter their ocean odyssey Kon-Tiki was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2013 Academy Awards.
This historical drama recounts Thor Heyerdahl's expedition of 1947, when the Norwegian explorer and ethnologist, who didn't know how to swim or sail, set forth in a primitive balsawood raft with a five-man crew to cross the perilous Pacific from Peru to Polynesia.
His point was to prove his theory that indigenous peoples from South America could very well have reached and settled in Polynesia in pre-Colombian times.
