*UPDATED* PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES Synopsis

Walt Disney Pictures has sent us an updated synopsis to next summer’s PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES. A few subtle differences, but here it is nonetheless. See the original plot here.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penelope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Berges-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.

Here’s another look at the trailer that debuted earlier this month during the “Pirates Fans First” event at Disneyland.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES is written by PIRATES veterans Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio, suggested by the novel by Tim Powers.  The executive producers are Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, Barry Waldman, Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio and John DeLuca.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES sails into theatres around the world on May 20, 2011.
