I'm okay with Pirates 4. The franchise has gotten silly enough to accept a long string of sequels. And frankly, it's an open enough concept that they can change out casts and storylines to keep the franchise fresh enough to be fun. Just don't expect Shakespeare.
I hope they drop the Will-and-Elizabeth storyline though, since they pretty much tied up those strings. I wouldn't mind cameos, but I'd hope they wouldn't be the central characters. How about a storyline about the redhead getting swept up in a world of vice, becoming a "fille de nuit" and ending up a successful pirate (over the course of several movies, naturally). Like the Swann storyline, only a lowbrow chick instead of a Governor's daughter.
Alice could be cool. A little worried after seeing Burton's interpretation of Willie Wonka. But then again, Alice lends itself so well to weirdness that it could be wonderful. I've certainly seen worse Alices (than I imagine Tim Burton would do)
