Geoffrey Rush Press Conference

What’s the possibility of a Pirates of the Caribbean 4?
“It all depends on script and ideas. I would say that Disney executives and all of the people in Jerry [Bruckheimer's] firm, I can't imagine them with the kind of box-office receipts they've had, saying, ’That was a very esthetically pleasing scenario. Now let's move on to something else.’

I'd rather see number 3 on Elizabeth because it is a mighty story.

It is beyond history. It's almost mythical. It's almost legendary. I think out of the British monarchy, you look at Elizabeth I and Victoria and George III and the current queen… George III, I think, was on the throne for 60 years. That's like having a leader of America since the end of the Second World War running the country. You know what I mean? So there are huge dimensions in those legends and in those myths.

I know that Shekhar, being the kind of thinker and provocateur that he is, he might imagine like almost a one-woman film because Elizabeth apparently absolutely refused to die. She stayed standing in her early 70s, I think it was. And I think Shekhar is very intrigued by the notion of having achieved immortality on earth, what happens when you meet that deadline? And I would love that as an audience member, although I'm hinting that I'd love to come back as a ghost (laughing). Hamlet's father comes back and it's one of the great scenes.”
