OK, it's confirmed by the user who sent me HP6 (babouin, thanks a lot!!!) that POTC4 is indeed pan & scan, as suspected...
EDIT: he added that some shots are more opened top and bottom; he suspect that there may be some open matte shots; I should add that, due to previous discovery in this thread, the eventual open matte would always be cropped, as the taller aspect ratio would be 1.89:1, hence a 1.78:1 shot would be necessarily cropped at one or both sides.
Now, IMHO it could be a good compromise to release it p&s after the first episodes open matte... don't you think?

Today I've watched the four films in the saga, a marathon... incredibly, I realized I've never watched the fourth one before, even if I have the BD since years, and was sure I watched it...

A bit OT, but I think I can be forgiven...
Watched Cutthroat Island; apart the fact I like it - despite it was a huge flop - but there are few similarities between it and the whole Pirates saga: first of all the monkey! Then the treasure on the blown out enemy ship which is tied to a rope; and other little things that I think have inspired the new saga.
And even if I watched it on laserdisc, it was pretty cool; sure, far from perfect, but it's still fashinating to see how good a 20+ old analog video format is, and, color wise, it's great - skies are NOT teal, faces are NOT orange... I like it!

Update: thanks to maksnew, now we have POTC5 in open matte! It's a Russian WEBdl, so we need another version to get rid of hardsub, and main title logo (the matted version *could* be used, maybe).
First post updated with new info.

Yea, seen the maksnew hybrid web / bluray version , would be nice to see it without all the Russian captions and title. Look forward to this one.

POTC 4 is currently available on the American Amazon through a STARZ subscription. Unfortunately, now I have no way to make a trial subscription to get a movie. If someone could help me with this, I would gladly deflate the film.
