Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane are the two new main players onscreen, and I'm pretty much on the record in my shameless worship of Cruz. Her making two hours of thinly veiled boner jokes with Depp while she wears various cleavage-emphasizing pirate outfits sounds like $15 worth of entertainment to me, and the fact that she's actually a pretty canny comic actress in addition to being spectacularly plush is promising. Ian McShane seems like a lovely complement to Geoffrey Rush, returning as Barbossa, and Blackbeard seems like a natural fit to what they've already done in the series. It's more interesting to me to see how they're expanding on the idea of the supernatural in the world of these movies. The original trilogy dealt with a very specific set of creatures and rules, ghosts and curses and Davy Jones, all of it tied together. Now it looks like we're moving on to mermaids and zombies and the Fountain of Youth, meaning there are some different opportunities this time, and also indicating that pretty much anything goes with these movies. If that's the case, I hope they push for very different mythologies in all the different oceans and seas around the world." - Drew McWeeny read more here: http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured/posts/watch-pirates-4-trailer-promises-johnny-depp-and-penelope-cruz-mermaids-zombies-and-more
