Jerry Bruckheimer is just about the busiest man alive. Fact. The uber-producer just doesn't let up for a second and on a recent press day for his latest big-budget effort, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", Bruckheimer had to fend off rumours about his monster franchise pictures whilst casually dropping in the titles he's currently working on in the near future.

"We're doing another 'National Treasure' so we're working on that, we're preparing 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' right now it's going to be shot in New York we have another picture that's in post-production that we're finishing called 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' with Isla Fischer and Hugh Dancy, so that comes out in February" commented Bruckheimer.

But, naturally, talk turned to the recently announced "Pirates of The Caribbean 4" and its current status. "We've sat with the writers and we're working up the story and plotlines right now. They're in the process of finishing 'The Lone Ranger' so they're working on both of those simultaneously, same set of writers, Elliot and Rossio, who did all three 'Pirates' and worked on 'National Treasure'"

"I think they're pushing towards 2012," Bruckheimer told Comingsoon.net about the possible release date for this fourth "Pirates" movie. "Hopefully we can make it! We'll see."
