10 Things You Need To Know About Pirates Of The Caribbean 5

10. Filming Starts In February

Although Dead Men Tell No Tales' release is still over two years away, pre-production on the film has been ongoing since September of 2014 and it is set to begin filming in February, meaning confirmation of some rumours is bound to be around the corner. The film be shot in its entirety in Australia, a perfect locale given the series' trademark setting of beautiful open water and the occasional desert island. Scenes will be shot in Port Douglas, a breathtaking beach in the northeast of Australia that is sadly known for being the place Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray. Pirates 5 is apparently the biggest production ever shot in Australia, which should give some idea of the scope of the thing. Since the start of principal photography is just around the corner, set photos and videos both official and unofficial should be released any day now, and you might even get your hands on a synopsis some time this month. Either way, expect more official information about the movie far sooner than the actual release year of 2017.
