Talking with The Los Angeles Times author Tim Powers is pretty sure pretty that elements from his 1987 book which is also called On Stranger Tides will be used.
Disney optioned the book, which deals with a race against Blackbeard to reach the Fountain of Youth, nearly three years ago.
Powers adds: "My main character doesn't overlap with Jack Sparrow at all: they're totally different characters. I suppose they might overlap the Geoffrey Rush's character Barbossa and Blackbeard. The only thing I feel certain they will hold on to is the Fountain of Youth since they telegraphed that at the end of the last movie."
Regular "Pirates" script writer Terry Rossio, confirmed the move to the gang at Empire- "Tim Powers is an amazing writer - and it's a great title. It allows us to draw material from that universe and his expertise."
"Tides" is due to hit theaters in the Summer of 2011.
