Universal halted production on the film in April when its production budget for a US shoot spiralled to $160 million (£108 million).
Pirates Of The Caribbean helmer Verbinski admitted that filming outside the US to bring costs down may not be an option for him.
"The bottom line is it has to shoot out of the States for budget reasons and my schedule may be prohibitive," he told the Los Angeles Times. "There's a great script and a really interesting cast. It really comes down to the financial model now.
"Big movies are just not being shot in the States. I'm weighing whether I can physically go to the UK or Australia or one of those other places with a tax rebate for a year-and-a-half."
