Watch Johnny Depp Start the Hype Machine for Pirates of the Caribbean 4 11 Months Early

depp_pirates4_225.jpgWhile you're still interested in what Hollywood has to offer this summer, the industry has already turned its sights toward next summer. At the end of the Tron Legacy panel at Comic-Con, Disney showed the first footage of Johnny Depp on the set of May 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. (It's never too early to start hyping up the fanbase, right Marvel?) Naturally, that footage has found its way online -- click ahead to get excited.

Depp-as-Sparrow confirms the plot of On Stranger Tides as having to do with the Fountain of Youth, Penelope Cruz, zombies and mermaids -- though not probably in that order. Fun fact: This was also shown to the crowd in 3D, which would rank it as the most egregious use of 3D ever (the bottle gag, really?).
