Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" will begin filming in Australia this month, according to the latest news on the Johnny Depp-starred caper.

Pre-production actually already began in September last year, said What Culture, and most of the location will be in Port Douglas, situated in northeast Australia. The film is said to be the biggest production in the history of Down Under.

"Since the start of principal photography is just around the corner, set photos and videos both official and unofficial should be released any day now," it said, meaning news and spoilers are expected to accelerate from hereon.

Previously, Australia's News.com reported on news that the Australian Government spent $21.6 million to get Disney into filming the "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" in the country.

"This dwarfs the $18 million Australia has committed to the Ebola cause," it said. "Australia has been criticized for not providing enough assistance to battle and contain Ebola, which has killed 4500 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea alone."

Australia outbid one other location, Mexico, for the right to host the Disney franchise.

But the Australian Government justified the expense as a good investment since "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" will bring in a lot of benefits for the country.

Queensland Arts Minister Ian Walker said that, "Pirates will bring $100 million of investment to this state, and that flows through to jobs;" not to mention the associated benefits to the tourism industry.

"For example, we're already expecting 20,000 bed nights to be needed to accommodate the cast and crew when they go to North Queensland, and that'll be in the tourism industry's off-season," he said.

Watch out for more "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" news and spoilers which will be published as they come along. The movie is set to release two years from now.
