What to expect from POTC4? Big fat spoiler ahead.
I know, "nothing" would probably be the answer from many of us, but from all I can tell, "On Stranger Tides" is getting back to the roots and trying to catch the spirit of "Curse of the Black Pearl". I have to admit bias, though, as the return of the RN (especially Gillette) was such an unexpected and positive surprise that I might get a bit too enthusiastic here.
Here's a spoiler which describes the first scene of POTC: OST, and I must say, if it's true, it sounds very promising.
(... ) film opens at night. Spanish fisherman spots something in the water. A Shape. He fishes out what he soon discovers is the body of an ancient sailor. The boat’s captain rushes over for a look - - before he can make his assessment, the thought-dead sailor’s eyes open. Sailor grabs Captain’s arm… fade out. The Captain and his aide then arrive at the regal residents of King Ferdinand, with said body, who inform the royal that the not-so-dead sailor claims to have sailed on a vessel belonging to the ship of Ponce de Leon, who died 200 years ago. Ferdinand’s first thought is that the sailor has found the legendary Fountain of Youth. He orders ‘The Spaniard’ to hit the seas in search of it. (...)

OK, OK, "the believed-to-be-dead James Norrington stands on the bridge of his ship" would have been better, but I like the sound of it. The involvement of the Spanish and the connection with Ponce de Leon is an interesting twist.
Rumours that Mr. Gillette has been sighted studying "Spanish for ye Dummies" have not been confirmed yet, though.
The trailer for POTC: OST will be shown in December, before "Tron Legacy".
