And the Official Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Title is....


...On Stranger Tides. Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. Ok. At Disney's D23 Fan Expo, they took a time out from appeasing pimply faced girls with promises of Zac Efron endorsed boxer shorts to reveal the new logo and title for the 4th installment of the sea-faring franchise.

Disney's plan is for the film to begin shooting in the spring of 2010, but as of right now no director is attatched. Gore Verbinski, who's helmed the previous Pirates movies, left to direct Bioshock. But with that film now being directed by another, the possibility exists that Verbinski could return to the fold. Disney's plan is for this 4th film to begin a second trilogy, so expect plenty more cutlass swinging action in the future. The expectation is that the story will follow Jack Sparrow's quest for the Fountain of Youth, as was foreshadowed in the last film.

Slashfilm has more on the story right here.
