Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Gets Kon-Tiki Directing Team
Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg will steer the return of Captain Jack Sparrow.
by Scott Collura MAY 29, 2013

Disney, Johnny Depp and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have found their Pirates of the Caribbean 5 directors: the Kon-Tiki team of Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.

Deadline reports that a deal is about to be made that will have the pair coming aboard to prep the film for a late 2013 or early 2014 start.

So who are Rønning and Sandberg? They directed the Norwegian historical film about the 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition, netting a Foreign Language Oscar nomination in the process. As Deadline points out, the film surely made them attractive to Disney as it proved that they know how to shoot on water and do a lot with not much money.

The pair reportedly beat out Fredrik Bond (The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman) and Rupert Sanders (Snow White and The Huntsman) for the gig.

As of now, Depp is the only castmember confirmed to be returning for the film.
