The next Pirates of the Caribbean film has been delayed beyond its planned 2015 release.
Disney's Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which sees Johnny Depp returning for his fifth appearance as Captain Jack Sparrow, was expected to go into production next year.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told the Hollywood Reporter issues with the script and budget caused the delay.
He said he was now targeting a summer 2016 release.
"We have an outline everyone loves but the script is not done," Bruckheimer said, adding: "We want a script that everyone's signed off on and a budget that everyone's signed off on."
The delay follows the poor performance by Disney's much anticipated summer film The Lone Ranger, also starring Depp, which earned just $29m (£18m) in its opening weekend in the US.
