Walt Disney Pictures has announced that the fourth installment of Jerry Bruckheimer's popular action franchise Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, directed by Rob Marshall, will be filmed in Disney Digital 3D.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is still slated for release on May 20, 2011.

At least it's not being converted, thank god.

EDIT:  A refresher on the plot:

Johnny Depp is returning as Captain Jack Sparrow in the fourth film in the popular "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. The new film will be loosely based on the Tim Powers book, "On Stranger Tides." Geoffrey Rush is back as Barbossa and Ian McShane will play the villain Blackbeard. Penelope Cruz is portraying the daughter of Blackbeard. The storyline is a continuation of the third film with Captain Jack searching for the Fountain of Youth.

I will have to say kudos to hiring McShane. Great casting touch, that.

No Nighy is hurting my interest levels.

I don't think it's particularly surprising that it's going to be in 3D.  Hopefully, unencumbered from the chaff of the first 3 movies, it can be a decent film.

Damnit.  Not another POTC movie.
