Pirates 4 "A Possibility" As Per Russell Brand

The rumor's been out for there since the middle of last year of Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-star Russell Brand appearing in a fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise - possibly as Captain Jack Sparrow's brother.

Well, the British comedian confirmed to Access Hollywood that he's had talks regarding his participation and said it was "a possibility!" At the moment, however Brand has higher priorities such as Get Him to the Greek where he'll reprise his Sarah Marshall role as British rocker Aldous Snow.

Not to mention, the last official word we got on Pirates 4 was that writers Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott were cooking up an outline while they're also writing The Lone Ranger (as per producer Jerry Bruckheimer) and the target date was moved from Summer 2011 to 2012.

Truthfully, I hated both Pirates sequels and wish that franchise would go back to the Hell it was spawned from - i.e. Disney World. But alas said sequels earned around $2 billion worldwide - not including home video sales, merchandising, etc.

So no doubt we're getting another installment. Joy.
