Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (released in some territories as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge) is a 2017 American swashbuckler fantasy film directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, and written by Jeff Nathanson. It is the fifth in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, and features an ensemble cast including Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Geoffrey Rush, Brenton Thwaites, Kaya Scodelario, and Kevin McNally. The film follows a search for the Trident of Poseidon by a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow pursued by Captain Armando Salazar and a crew of deadly ghosts who have escaped from the Devil's Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea and take revenge on Sparrow.

Development of the film started shortly before the previous film was released in May 2011, with Rossio writing the initial script, and Depp being involved in the writing process. In early 2013, Nathanson was hired to write a new script, while Rønning and Sandberg became involved in the project shortly afterward. The filmmakers cited the series' first installment, The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), as inspiration for the script and tone of the film. Initially planned for a 2015 release, the film was delayed to 2016 and then to 2017, due to script and budget issues. Principal photography started in Queensland, Australia in February 2015, after the Australian government offered Disney $20 million in tax incentives, and ended that July. With an estimated production budget of $230–320 million, it is among the most expensive films ever made.

Dead Men Tell No Tales premiered at the Shanghai Disney Resort on May 11, 2017, and was released in the United States on May 26. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $796 million.
