Director Gore Verbinski, whose claim to fame came from directing the Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, which has grossed more that $2.5 billion worldwide, Verbinski believes that he doesn't need to do 
a fourth film and has informed Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer that he won't be directing the film which is scheduled to start shooting in 2010.
"I had a fantastic time bringing 'Pirates' to life, and I am eternally grateful to Jerry, Johnny and the rest of the creative and production team," Verbinski said. "I'm looking forward to all of us crossing paths again in the future."
Instead, Verbinski will focus on his adaptation of the bestselling video game BioShock for Universal Pictures, which is expected to start production in 2010 based on a script by John Logan.
Next up for Verbinski though is the Paramount animated film Rango which will reunite him with Johnny Depp who is voicing the main character. John Logan has penned this script as well, which is due for release on March 18, 2011. The filmmaker is also developing a new live action movie based on the Hasbro board game Clue, written by Steven Knight.
