If there's anyone out there who actually thinks Disney's $250m blockbuster The Lone Ranger will turn a profit, be sure to vote with your wallet. You know, like how you all did with John Carter. (New poster from IMP).

Time to break out the Tim Burton checklist then. Comedy-horror with supernatural elements? Check. Johnny Depp? Obvs. Score by Danny Elfman? Yuh-huh. Helena Bonham Carter? Of course. Pop culture retread? Yes. The time has long passed when one of Hollywood's most original directors has become a parody of himself. And as his once twisted gothic visuals have now given way to colourful cartoonish CGI, you have to ask "Damn - why didn't you make a vampire movie 15 years ago?"

It's easy to make a poster for a Tim Burton film. Whack up the contrast, choose your gaudy neon colour highlight and let the PosterTron 6000 software do the rest. We thought the characters for Tim Burton's
Dark Shadows were lacking something. So we made them better.

Entertainment Weekly, who don't entertain me nearly weekly enough, have released the first still from Tim Burton's
Dark Shadows, which he apparently made with bits left over from all his other films.

So Johnny Depp is in talks to play Jack Sparrow once again for more hijinks on the high-seas, but what could possibly be in store for Pirates Of The Caribbean next? Let's dredge the bottom of the barrel!

In news that will surprise precisely nobody, it's been reported that Johnny Depp is in talks to reprise Jack Sparrow for a fifth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie. Because
artistic integrity.

Franchises don't usually recover well from a post-trilogy hiatus when coming back for a fourth instalment (I'm looking at you, Indy - and you McClane), but Pirates Of The Caribbean has the added obstacle that each previously released film got progressively worse anyway, ending on a bloated CGI mess of a finale. So has the studio learned its lesson and made a worthy reboot? Of course not – it's utter 'yarrr'se.

Who'd have thought the director of musicals like Chicago and Nine would be able to pull off such belting action scenes?
[Editor's note: this is sarcasm. I think I forgot how to use it properly.]

Pirates! Mermaids! Zombies! Lovejoy! Truly, the trailer for Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has it all. There's even a nob joke!
