Pirates of The Caribbean 5 Gets New Name In The UK

When movies are moved abroad, it is not unusual for them to get a name-change. Sometimes, the alteration is made to suit a cultural shift or make room for translation. It looks like Pirates of the Caribbean will be the next film series to jump aboard the name-change game. The fifth film will go by a different title in the UK than in the U.S. when it sails into theaters.

Over in the U.S., the movie will be known as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. However, the film will be called Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge overseas.

Of course, there is a reason for the change. The main villain of the film is named Salazar, and he is one bad guy. The character, who is played by Javier Bardem, is determined to kill any and all pirates who get in his way. But, most of all, the villain wants to see Captain Jack Sparrow dead by his hands.

So, what do you guys think? Does the name-change make your more or less likely to check out the high-seas blockbuster will hit coasts into cinemas next year?

Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him. Captain Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas

Johnny Depp returns to his iconic, Academy Award-nominated role of Captain Jack Sparrow, one of the most beloved characters in motion picture history, newly joined by Oscar-winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Skyfall), rising young stars Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner, British television's Skins) and Brenton Thwaites (Maleficent, The Giver) and Golshifteh Farahani (The Patience Stone, Exodus: Gods and Kings). Rejoining the action are Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa, Kevin R. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs and Stephen Graham as Scrum.

Dead Men Tell No Tales is being directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg (Kon-Tiki), based on a script by Jeff Nathanson (Catch Me If You Can, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Chad Oman, Joe Caracciolo, Jr. and Brigham Taylor serve as executive producers.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales will be released on May 26, 2017.
