Jack 22 May 2011 | by Movie_Muse_Reviews (IL, USA) – See all my reviews After a four-year hiatus to regroup and determine the future of the franchise, Disney and what was once its surprise mega-hit "Pirates of the Caribbean" series have returned in "On Stranger Tides." Hard to believe that this franchise evolved from the once-lambasted concept of a theme park ride being turned into a successful motion-picture blockbuster. After exhausting the "Pirates" world with two back-to-back sequels of titanic and rather disappointing proportion in 2006 and 2007, a break in the action to recalibrate Captain Jack Sparrow's compass was much-needed. The "new" course set by "On Stranger Tides" uses worn sails, but with a fresh wind of characters and more importantly, a more direct purpose. As promised in the end of "At World's End," Jack's looking for the Fountain of Youth if for nothing more than ships and giggles. First, however, he must take a side trip to London to rescue his old pal Gibbs (Kevin McNally) and subsequently the palace of King George (Richard Griffiths in a lovely cameo).

There, he learns that his old pal Barbossa (Rush) has lost The Black Pearl as well as his leg and sold out to His Majesty's Royal Navy. He is to help the English find the Fountain before the Spaniards do. Jack, of course, knows the way there, thus continuing his ongoing role as an indispensable pestilence. After a familiar improvised escape, he crosses paths with an old lover, Angelica (Penelope Cruz), who he once deflowered before she was to take her vows at a convent. She mentions she has a ship he can borrow, only it turns out that it's her father's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, captained by none other than Blackbeard the Pirate (Ian McShane), a feared and soulless scourge with a minor in black magic. So much for smooth sailing. As overdone and cliché as the Fountain of Youth may be, it's perfect for the "Pirates" franchise and helps keep things very simple, something the last installment had more than a fair deal of trouble with. Only a few character subplots threaten to convolute the story, but all motivations lead to the Fountain regardless the reason.

In fact, "On Stranger Tides" marks the first film to truly focus on Captain Jack. With Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley's characters out of the way, the franchise can keep the spotlight on the reason it's gotten four films deep. Depp has nothing new in store for us as the true center of attention, but by continuing to underplay the trademark quirks and mannerisms, he continues to prolong the deterioration of the Capt. Jack act. Some might disagree, but it depends how much you liked him the first place. In terms of new faces, Ian McShane is impeccable as Blackbeard. Rush gave a wonderfully theatrical performance as the main villain in the first film, but McShane introduces the first true quantifiable force of evil the franchise has seen. Although his voodoo abilities and reputation for killing his men and bringing them back from the dead to serve as his zombie slaves are never entirely realized, he's the merciless villain this film needed. He never fully crosses into scare-your-children evil, but he could've at any instant and that feeling radiates from his performance. In general, this film aligns itself more with fantasy and traditional folklore than the supernatural like the previous film.

Among other new faces, Rob Marshall as the franchise's new director does serviceable work. The "Chicago" filmmaker chews the scenery well and creates effective moods and tones, but the action could have been a bit more inspired, especially considering the series' reputation for sword-fighting ingenuity. Marshall's best work and the film's best sequence deals with mermaids, not the singing and seashell bra type, but seduce you with their looks and then try and devour you with fangs type. Quiet, suspenseful and culminating in a full-on action sequence, the mermaids constitute the one completely fresh element of the film. Their cove is the lone stop on the journey as well, so it's the only aspect of the plot that creates that classic seafaring adventure feeling akin to Homer's "The Odyssey." Not much else deviates from the formula, so those hoping for a resurgence in the series or something as good as the first film, "The Curse of the Black Pearl," will remain wishful thinkers once again.

It's hard to imagine where the series could go next without retreading over old ground or just introducing new characters for the sake of it, but Captain Jack Sparrow remains one of the few reliable comforts of blockbuster cinema, and any adventure with him at the wheel will struggle to be a total waste of time. "On Stranger Tides" makes just enough adjustments to the series to make for a successful installment. ~Steven C Visit my site at 30 of 44 people found this review helpful.

Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure.

Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica ( Penélope Cruz ), he's not sure if it's love—or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth . When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard ( Ian McShane ), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The international cast include franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack's longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs , plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid . Plot "No, I told you! Ponce de León died two hundred years ago." "Aye, but he died searching for something, didn't he?" "The Fountain of Youth ...How soon can you sail?" "With the tide." King Ferdinand examines the logbook . One night, off the coast of Spain , a Captain and a Fishermen discover the body of an Ancient Sailor in their fishing net.

The two examined the dead body, until the sailor's eyes open as he grabbed the Captain's arm. A gold-trimmed carriage raced over cobblestones up from a harbor as the old castaway was brought to the royal palace in Cádiz , where he was shown before King Ferdinand ( Sebastian Armesto ). As the Sailor gave Ferdinand a logbook , the two fishermen told of the Sailor's stories of having sailed on Ponce de León 's ship . Upon seeing an archaic symbol in the logbook, Ferdinand realized that the Sailor's stories, as well as the legends of the Fountain of Youth , were true. Ferdinand then sends his most trusted agent, known only as " The Spaniard " ( Óscar Jaenada ), to find the Fountain. London "Then I hear a rumor. Jack Sparrow was in London, with a ship, and looking for a crew." "Am not." Joshamee Gibbs on trial presided by Justice Smith . Meanwhile in London , a trial was in session in the Old Bailey against the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow ( Johnny Depp ), whom they mistakenly believe Joshamee Gibbs ( Kevin R. McNally ) to be.

A mysterious Justice Smith appeared before the court, Jack Sparrow himself in disguise; Gibbs nearly revealed this in shock of seeing his old captain. Though everyone in the crowd expected a trial, "Justice Smith" decided an immediate verdict was to be given instead. Gibbs was found guilty of being innocent of being Jack Sparrow and condemned him to life in prison. As Jack took off his disguise, Gibbs was taken away and put into a horse-drawn paddy wagon. Having paid off the driver, Jack had himself thrown into the paddy wagon with Gibbs. Throughout the ride, Gibbs informed Jack about the rumors of him recruiting a crew for his ship in the Captain's Daughter pub, which intrigued Jack into finding the imposter. The two also briefly talked about Jack's search for the Fountain of Youth , looking at Jack's map . As the carriage suddenly stopped, Jack and Gibbs were surprised to find themselves facing down a detachment of Royal Guards in the courtyard of St. James's Palace ; the driver had received a pouch of coins by a Guard. Ever-hopeful, Gibbs asked Jack if this was part of his plan.

However, after the captain of the guards slammed Jack's head with a rifle, causing Jack to crumple into Gibbs' arms, Jack simply said "No." The meeting with King George in St. James's Palace . Gibbs was then shoved back into the wagon, the door slammed shut, while Jack was dragged into St. James's Palace to meet with King George II ( Richard Griffiths ). During the first part of the meeting, there was confusion over if Jack was the real Jack Sparrow. Though Jack tried denying it, stating the rumors of him recruiting a crew were false, the King ignored them as they went to the matter at hand. The King and his ministers asked Jack to guide an expedition to find the Fountain of Youth before the Spanish , in which Jack accepted on the condition of a ship and crew being provided. Jack was then introduced to the captain of the expedition— Hector Barbossa ( Geoffrey Rush ), now a privateer of the Crown and now having a peg leg . Upon being asked by Jack of the fate of the Black Pearl , Barbossa revealed that he lost the Pearl, and his leg, in battle. Jack angrily reacted to this revelation, which made the King's guards restrain him.

As Barbossa and the King prepared to continue with their mission, Jack made one of his legendary escapes , while surrounded by royal guards and a room full of shocked advisors. Despite being outnumbered, Jack was able to escape as the monarch was left stunned by Jack's escape. Outwitting the guards, Jack was able to escape the palace and, after robbing a noblewoman , be in a carriage chase through London's streets. He was able to escape the King's Guards, except for one, who aimed his rifle right at him. Jack was saved by his father, Captain Teague ( Keith Richards ). At the Captain's Daughter, having heard that his son was heading to the Fountain, Teague informed Jack of the Profane Ritual , as well as one of the items needed for it: two silver Chalices . Although Teague advised Jack against setting sail until he knew every detail, he pointed Jack to Scrum ( Stephen Graham ), sitting with a group of sailor-types, saying they had a ship and were signing up sailors. Before leaving, Teague warned Jack that the Fountain would "test" him. Jack Sparrow and Angelica fighting the Royal Guards in the Captain's Daughter .

Across the room, Scrum finished an lick on his mandola , until Jack questioned him about his recruiting a crew. Scrum corrected him in saying that Jack Sparrow promised a modest venture, before accusing Jack himself being an imposter. This prompted Jack to ask if he knew who he was, which ended with Scrum telling the other volunteered sailors that "Here's some bloke what forgot his own name!" As they laughed at Jack, Derrick bursts out proudly, saying he's "sailing with Sparrow" and asked for a drink. Jack stepped forward, noticing a silhouette, in the form of Jack Sparrow himself. Sneaking into the storeroom of the Captain's Daughter, Jack came face-to-face with the imposter. The two Jacks draw their swords and engaged with in a stalemate duel . Jack soon realized who the imposter was—his former love, Angelica ( Penélope Cruz ). The two had a brief reunion with Angelica asking Jack about the Fountain of Youth. Suddenly, the King's guards arrive and engage Jack and Angelica in a fight. Jack and Angelica were able to escape by jumping into the River Thames .

As the two go ashore, Jack inquired about the ritual, which Angelica knew about, and what was required. Angelica told Jack that a mermaid was needed as her associate drugs Jack with a dart which instantly knocks him out. Gibbs meeting with Hector Barbossa in the Execution Courtyard . At the execution courtyard , Joshamee Gibbs found himself being dragged by two guards. Two white-wigged officers, Groves ( Greg Ellis ) and Gillette ( Damian O'Hare ) and Privateer Barbossa, stood waiting at the gallows. With a hanging rope draped over his shoulder, Barbossa came to question Gibbs about Jack Sparrow's whereabouts. Realizing Jack was headed to the Fountain of Youth, Barbossa threatened to hang Gibbs unless if he'd offer anything for the search for the Fountain. Gibbs then pulled out the map Jack had shown him in the paddy wagon. Barbossa commanded Gibbs to hand the map over, but Gibbs grabbed a lantern and smashed it on the map. As the map was in flames, Barbossa called Gibbs a fool. However, Gibbs made himself necessary, revealing that he studied the map and had memorized every route and destination.

There was only one thing Barbossa could say as the map smolders. "Welcome back to His Majesty's Navy, Master Gibbs!" Aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge "Where am I?" " 'Scuse me, Captain Sparrow, sir. I be right honored to welcome you aboard our world-renowned vessel of infamy— Queen Anne's Revenge ." 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides', Alexander Payne's 'Descendants' Filming In Hawaii ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’, Alexander Payne’s ‘Descendants’ Filming In Hawaii Written by Jordan Raup on January 19, 2010 In a press release Governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle announced a number of films that will start filming in the state. On the islands of Kaua’i and O’ahu this summer Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films will being shooting Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. This is the fourth installment of the series and will be directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine). The release also confirmed Clint Eastwood just wrapped Hereafter, a thriller starring Matt Damon.

It also confirmed that Alexander Payne‘s (Sideways, Election) latest film starring George Clooney, The Descendants has started pre-production. Check out the full press release below thanks to Coming Soon . Governor Linda Lingle today announced that Hawai’i will be the location for “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” the fourth installment of the highly successful Walt Disney Pictures’ action adventure film series from Jerry Bruckheimer Films. The Walt Disney Company President and CEO Bob Iger met with Governor Lingle on Friday to share the news that the islands of Kaua’i and O’ahu will be sites for the production of the feature film, which will begin shooting this summer and is slated to be released in summer 2011. The production is expected to generate an estimated $85 million in direct and indirect spending in Hawai’i, providing a needed economic boost for the state’s economy as well as creating hundreds of jobs for local residents. “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” will star Johnny Depp, returning to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and directed by Rob Marshall.

The writers are Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, and the executive producers are Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, Barry Waldman, Elliott, Rossio and John DeLuca. “Disney’s long-term commitment to Hawai’i – from ABC’s ‘LOST’ to the new Disney resort on O’ahu scheduled to open in 2011, and now the upcoming filming of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ – is a testament to the company’s confidence in our state as a great place to do business,” said Governor Lingle. “The Walt Disney Company has a great relationship with Hawai’i that we’re looking forward to building upon with the filming of the latest adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew,” said Iger.

“I thank Governor Lingle and her team for their tremendous support of the projects Disney has underway in this great state.” “We’ve always sought out the most extraordinary and exotic locations for the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ films,” said producer Jerry Bruckheimer, “and previously shot briefly on both Maui and Moloka’i for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.’ Hawai’i provides an amazing range of both land and seascapes, and we’re delighted to return for ‘On Stranger Tides.'” The state’s Creative Industries Division and the Hawai’i Film Office, which are housed in the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, began working with Disney last year and organized a series of meetings and conference calls to help secure the business.

Georja Skinner, the State’s Creative Industries Division administrator who oversees operations of the Hawai’i Film Office, worked collaboratively with the Governor’s office, Department of Taxation and Tourism Liaison Marsha Wienert, along with Hawai’i Tourism Authority, Hawai’i Visitors and Convention Bureau, Kaua’i Visitors Bureau, the Kaua’i Film Office, the City and County’s Honolulu Film Office, The Resort Group, Ko Olina Resort and Disney Vacation Club to help secure “Pirates of the Caribbean” for Hawai’i. “Hawai’i competes on a global basis for productions and to have Disney choose Hawai’i over other states and countries is a huge win for us,” said Skinner. “Creative industries are by nature collaborative and what I think made a difference for us is the combination of our tax incentive as well as local film, travel and destination industry support.” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” joins a growing list of feature film and television productions slated to film in Hawai’i this year. Warner Bros. feature “Hereafter,” directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Matt Damon completed filming on Maui last week.

Pre-production is also beginning for the feature film “The Descendents,” starring George Clooney and directed by Academy Award®-winning writer/director Alexander Payne. The film is based on the book by Hawai’i resident Kau’i Hart Hemmings. Several network pilots, as well as a Japanese drama series and a Korean drama series are also scouting Hawai’i for projects this year. Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides is set for a May 20th, 2011 release date while Hereafter and The Descendants are looking at a release later this year.

Rob Marshall, 137 minutes Film Plot Summary The film opened, off the coast of Spain, with the netted discovery by fishermen of a grizzled, bearded sailor. The castaway was rushed from the harbor by carriage to Cadiz, Spain, to the royal palace of King Ferdinand (Sebastian Armesto). The retrieved sailor whispered the words "Ponce de Leon" to the King, and gave him a logbook with archaic symbols. [He had sailed with Ponce de Leon, who had died 200 years earlier, searching for the fabled 'Fountain of Youth.'] The King ordered his trusted Spaniard (Óscar Jaenada) to sail with the next tide.

The next scene was set in London, where a pirate execution was scheduled to occur, after a speedy trial in the Old Bailey courtroom. The prisoner was Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), dubbed "the notorious and infamous pirate, pillager, and highwayman." Sparrow's longtime crew-member Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin R. McNally) was mistaken as Sparrow. In disguise as a judge (after binding and gagging the real judge), Sparrow appeared in the court as Justice Smith and presided - he commuted Gibbs' sentence and ordered him to be imprisoned for life. During the transport of the prisoner to the Tower of London, Sparrow joined Gibbs in the prison carriage. Rumors were that Jack was to recruit crewmembers for his lost ship the Black Pearl on a voyage to find the 'Fountain of Youth', later that evening at the Captain's Daughter pub. When the carriage halted, the two found themselves prisoners at the St. James' Palace. Jack was dragged by royal guards to meet with King George II (Richard Griffiths), who knew of his proposed journey and wished to compete with the Spanish monarch to get there first.

The King introduced the Captain of his sponsored expedition - peg-legged Crown privateer Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). Sparrow's "beloved Pearl" had been lost in battle ("I lost the Pearl as I lost my leg"), and Barbossa had been commissioned to sail in the HMS Providence. Sparrow executed an elaborate escape from the palace, jumping from one carriage to another in the muddy London streets (one of the carriages held a noblewoman (Dame Judi Dench in a brief cameo)). He was saved from being shot by one of the guards by his father, Captain Teague (Keith Richards). That evening in the Captain's Daughter pub, Jack's father told him about some of the items required at the Fountain of Youth for "the profane ritual" - two silver chalices from Ponce de Leon's ship. Teague also warned: "The Fountain will test you." In the back storeroom of the pub, Jack confronted an imposter who was recruiting crew members under his name. He revealed the person's identity during a stalemate sword duel - the mysterious and beautiful Angelica (Penélope Cruz), a former lover.

Supposedly in the past, she was taking her vows in a Spanish convent in Seville when he had corrupted and seduced her, left her, and stolen years of her life. During their argument, the King's royal guards interrupted them and further fighting ensued. The two escaped by dropping down through a trap door into the River Thames. After they swam ashore, they discussed the "ritual" required at the Fountain. She added that a mermaid was also needed. He passed out from a dart shot at him from her associate. Meanwhile, Gibbs was held in the Tower of London's courtyard, where Captain Barbossa threatened him with hanging unless he divulged useful information. Gibbs showed off a map to the Fountain of Youth (with every route and destination) that he had memorized. He then burned the valuable document - forcing Barbossa to recruit him into his crew. Captain Jack awoke, many days later, imprisoned onboard the "vessel of infamy" - the Queen Anne's Revenge - notorious pirate Blackbeard's (Ian McShane) ship, sailing westward.

One of Jack's fellow crew-members, forced to work on deck with him, was Scrum (Stephen Graham), who told Jack that all of Blackbeard's "ill-tempered" officers were zombified to make them more compliant. Missionary Philip Swift (Sam Claflin) was strung up on the ship's mast after his capture during a raid. The First Mate of the ship was none other than Angelica, who had conned Blackbeard into thinking she was his long-lost daughter. She told him of the Quarter Master's prophecy that compelled Blackbeard to hurriedly search for the Fountain of Youth: "Blackbeard will meet his death within a fortnight at the hands of a one-legged man." Meanwhile, onboard the HMS Providence, Gibbs instructed Captain Barbossa about their proper direction toward the Fountain, just as three Spanish galleons were sailing towards them - but then passed by without firing. (Barbossa: "The Fountain is the prize. It appears we be not even worth the time it'd take to sink us.") Barbossa feared they were falling behind in the race.

Below the Revenge's decks in the evening, Jack Sparrow proposed "mutiny most foul" - to take over the ship and its deadly course. During an on-deck mutinous battle, Angelica joined the rebellious crew, and Philip was rescued from the mast. But when Jack thought they had triumphed ("The ship is ours"), Blackbeard appeared from his cabin and magically (with his sword) hanged the mutinous crew with the ship's rigging, although Jack and Philip weren't harmed. The cook was punished as the scapegoat, and as he fled in a longboat, he was incinerated by Blackbeard's command - blasts from the ship's fire-cannons. In Blackbeard's cabin, Jack was given a private audience with the pirate - and tortured via a voodoo doll to comply. Jack was unable to convince Blackbeard of Angelica's duplicity, and he was forced to reconsider his position to help lead Blackbeard to the Fountain, to aid his quest on the "hell-bound vessel" before the captain's prophesied death.

On the deck of the HMS Providence, Barbossa announced their destination to the fearful crew - Whitecap Bay, home of mermaids ("sea ghouls, devil fish, dreadful in hunger for flesh of man"), and urged them to have courage for the King's mission. Later, on board Blackbeard's ship, Angelica provided details of the Fountain's "profane ritual" to Jack - three ingredients were required so that "you may take all the years of life from another": Fountain of Youth water a Mermaid's "shimmering tear" - and it had to be "fresh" Ponce de Leon's two Silver Chalices - "One cup with a tear, one without...Both get water, one gets a tear. The person who drinks the water with the tear gets all the years of life from the other...All the years that they have lived and they could have lived, if fate had been kinder" She also described how "the ritual requires a victim." Although Angelica vowed to help her true father, Blackbeard, Jack warned that treacherous Blackbeard would kill her given the chance.

Blackbeard's crew arrived first at Whitecap Bay, searching for a mermaid from which they would need a single tear. They spread out nets, fired up the light in a lighthouse to draw in the mermaids, then sent out several longboats as further bait to attract them. Scrum began singing "My Jolly Sailor Bold" - and a single seductive mermaid (Gemma Ward) appeared to him, followed by more swimming creatures that surrounded their boat. Soon, the vicious mermaids launched a deadly attack on the crewmen, many of whom were dragged down into the water and drowned. Jack Sparrow saved everyone from a full-scale slaughter by blowing up the lighthouse, causing the mermaids to retreat, but one young frightened mermaid (Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey) was left behind and captured. Afterwards, the HMS Providence arrived at Whitecap Bay, where Barbossa and some of his crew in a landing party discovered the aftermath of the prior attack. They watched from afar as the mermaids attacked the crew left on the ship - and sank it. The few remaining crew members followed after Gibbs and Barbossa.

Meanwhile, Blackbeard's group of survivors also journeyed on land - a jungle trek to the interior of the island, carrying their prized mermaid in a glass coffin, and following a path to the chalices. They were guided by Sparrow (with a mystical compass), who was leading them to the shipwrecked Santiago, Ponce de Leon's ship, to retrieve the chalices. When they came to the edge of a steep cliff, Sparrow announced the distance remaining to get to the Fountain - they were "a day's march north following that river. You'll get to a series of pools, then you're close." Sparrow's compass was confiscated, and then he was forced to jump off the cliff to proceed alone to the ship (he was convinced to jump after his voodoo doll was thrown first), while everyone else continued on to the Fountain. At the same time, Barbossa was being led by Gibbs through the jungle. After trekking through the jungle and onto a stretch of deserted beach, Jack spotted the Santiago on the edge of a mountain cliff, and then began the long climb to get to it.

In Blackbeard's group, the mermaid's glass tank fell to the ground and smashed, and she rolled out - her tail turned into a pair of frail human legs. Philip, who was beginning to fall in love with the lovely creature, covered her naked and panting body with his shirt and volunteered to carry her. Rather than refer to her as a "dark creature," Philip gave her the name of Syrena. Jack approached the Santiago and entered, where he was confronted by Barbossa, who had gotten there earlier. They had to work together to balance the ship to prevent it from teeter-tottering and sliding off its precarious perch. They found Ponce de Leon's corpse, and a box emptied of the chalices. The Spanish had arrived first and stolen them, and then proceeded to their camp at Fort San Miguel. Sparrow joined with Barbossa (and his crew) to continue onto the location of the Spaniards together, to try and retake the two chalices. Meanwhile, Blackbeard had arrived at the series of pools, where others had vainly attempted to procure tears from the watery half-human creatures by slowly murdering them.

To harvest Syrena's tears, the pirate suggested torture to force her to cry from pain. Seeing that Philip fancied Syrena, he commanded his Quarter Master to kill Philip - to cause Syrena to cry, but the plan failed. Shortly after they had left and tied up Syrena to leave her to die, Philip roused himself, removed a knock-out dart from his chest, and rushed to Syrena's side. Amazed that he had survived and was freeing her, she gratefully smiled at him and let one tear of joy fall from her eye. It was caught in a vial by Blackbeard's crew when they reappeared. Then she was left to perish with the other mermaids at the pools ("Secure her bonds - we leave her with her own"). At the Spaniards' camp where they had infiltrated, Barbossa and Sparrow stole the two chalices, but as they snuck away, the two were spotted, surrounded, captured and tied to separate palm trees. While they were bound and drinking rum from his peg-leg, Barbossa told of his vengeful feelings for Blackbeard for attacking and taking The Black Pearl off the coast of Hispaniola, and for causing him to lose his leg.

His aim was not really to find the Fountain of Youth, but to avenge Blackbeard (by stabbing him through the heart with his sword covered with poison from his collection of dart-frogs). Through Jack's clever skill of improvisation, he tied up the Spanish soldiers and they escaped with the chalices. When Jack met up with Blackbeard, he bargained to turn over the chalices under certain conditions: (1) No harm to Angelica, (2) Return of his compass, and (3) Freedom for First Mate Gibbs. The chalices were exchanged, and Jack gave the compass to Gibbs, vowing: "This will lead you to freedom, mate." Blackbeard's search party, led by Jack, continued onwards and came upon a cave entrance marked with an archaic symbol. They waded through knee-deep water and lit their way with torches in the cavern before coming to a dead end. Jack held up the two chalices, and clinked them together to create a tone - but nothing happened. He read the two inscriptions on the chalices: "Aqua...de Vida," causing a low rumbling sound.

Flowing water surrounded them in the chamber and opened a passageway in the ceiling. He and the others were raised up to the majestic Fountain of Youth location, where they discovered that Barbossa had already arrived. He challenged Blackbeard by declaring him a prisoner of the King of England, for the crimes of "piracy, treason, murder, torture of the most heinous sort, including the brutal theft of one used, twisted, hairy right leg." A major conflict between the two sides commenced when the two captains clashed swords. During the fighting, Philip was stabbed in the side, and although mortally wounded, he rushed away to free Syrena from her bonds. Both Jack and Angelica battled for possession of the chalices and the vial with the mermaid's tear. And then the Spaniards marched into the area, led by the Spaniard. He snatched the two chalices from Angelica, and spoke out: "Only God can grant eternal life.

Not this pagan water." He crushed the two chalices with his boot, tossed them into a pool of water, and ordered his soldiers to destroy "this profane temple." As Blackbeard attempted to protest the Fountain's destruction, he was stabbed through the abdomen by Barbossa's poisoned sword ("For the Pearl"). When Angelica attempted to help her father and remove the sword, she sliced her left palm and was poisoned too. Barbossa grabbed Blackbeard's sword and exclaimed as he departed: "I claim Blackbeard's ship and crew and this sword, payment for my missing limb!" As the Fountain was demolished (before the Spaniards left), Jack scrambled to locate the two submerged chalices. Suddenly, Syrena emerged from under the pool of water and handed the two chalices to Jack: "Do not waste my tear." He filled each chalice with drops of Fountain water (before the source dried up) and added Syrena's tear to one of them. He rushed to the dying Angelica and Blackbeard, telling them: "I cannot save you both.

One of you must sacrifice." Blackbeard selfishly chose the chalice with the tear (the one that "gives life"), while Angelica drank from the other. And then Jack confessed he may have switched the two cups: "It might have been the other way around." Blackbeard accused Jack of being a "trickster" and a "devil." Angelica's hand wound healed, as the Fountain's waters swirled around Blackbeard's feet and rushed at him - his flesh was shredded off his skeletal frame when he perished. To reunite with Philip (who was rapidly dying), Syrena swam back to him. Philip claimed she had brought him peace and renewed his faith. She offered to save him, while Philip asked her for forgiveness: Philip: "My mind is at peace...because of you." Syrena: "Me?" Philip: "Yes. I was lost. The wind, the tides, they ought to renew a man's faith. But for me, only you." Syrena: "Philip, I can save you.

You need only ask." Philip: "I seek but one thing." Syrena: "What is that?" Philip: "Forgive me." After they kissed, she took him under the water to be with her forever. The film concluded with Jack rowing the untrustworthy Angelica via longboat to Sola Fide Beach, to maroon her there, with only a pistol and one bullet. He feared that she still held a grudge against him for leading her into a life of piracy, and that she would seek revenge for her father's death. Although she made every effort to escape with him (she vowed she desperately loved him and told him it wasn't over yet), she was stranded, after a missed attempt to fire at him with her only shot. Meanwhile, Captain Barbossa quit his privateering for the British, returned to piracy, and claimed Blackbeard's ship Queen Anne's Revenge as his own. With Blackbeard's powerful, vibrating pirate sword, he set sail for Tortuga. Jack was reunited with the freed Gibbs on a sandy Caribbean beach.

His First Mate had used the compass to locate the shrunken Black Pearl, encased in miniature within a bottle, and located in Blackbeard's cabin (along with all the other bottled ships, held in a bag). Although they tried, they couldn't extract Jack's former ship from the bottle. Jack suggested that they travel onward: "We shall need a crossbow, an hourglass, three goats. One of us must learn to play the trumpet whilst the other one goes like this" - he wiggled his fingers. As they strolled along, Jack explained that he was happy that he didn't take advantage of the Fountain's powers: "Better to not know which moment may be your last. Every morsel of your entire being alive to the infinite mystery of it all. And who's to say I won't live forever, eh? Discoverer of the Fountain of Youth. I have no say in it, Gibbs. It's a pirate's life for me. Savvy?" In the short epilogue, Angelica was alone, stranded on the island, during sunset. The voodoo doll washed up onto the shore. She smiled, with the doll (and Jack's fate) in her hands.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a series of fantasy adventure films directed by Verbinski (1–3) and Marshall (4), written by Elliott and Rossio and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer . All four films are based on Walt Disney 's Pirates of the Caribbean and follow the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow ( Johnny Depp ), Will Turner ( Orlando Bloom ), Elizabeth Swann ( Keira Knightley ), Captain Hector Barbossa ( Geoffrey Rush ), Joshamee Gibbs ( Kevin McNally ), Davy Jones ( Bill Nighy ), Angelica ( Penélope Cruz ) and Blackbeard ( Ian McShane ). The films started with their first release on the big screen in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl . After the success of the first film, Walt Disney Pictures revealed that a trilogy was in the works. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was released three years later in 2006. The sequel proved successful, breaking records worldwide the day of its premiere.

In the end, it earned $1,066,179,725 at the worldwide box office, becoming the fastest film (at the time) to reach the $1 billion mark and standing as the third highest-grossing film worldwide (since having dropped to eighteenth place). The third film in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End , was released in 2007. In September 2008, Depp signed on for a fourth film in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides , released on May 20, 2011 in conventional 2D, Digital 3-D and IMAX 3D . It succeeded in grossing more than $1 billion, becoming the eighth film and fastest Disney film (at the time) to achieve this. So far, the film franchise has grossed $3.72 billion worldwide, being the first of only two franchises with two films that reached $1 billion worldwide (the other being the Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy). It is the fifth highest-grossing film series of all-time. It has been confirmed that two more installments to the franchise are included in Disney's future plans.

In July 2011, Johnny Depp confirmed he was closing in on a deal for a fifth installment and that the franchise wouldn't be going ahead without Depp's participation. Although it has never been officially confirmed, there is strong evidence to suggest that the series was influenced by, and perhaps loosely based upon, the Monkey Island series of video games. Ted Elliott, one of the two screenwriters of the first four films, was allegedly the writer of a Steven Spielberg -produced animated film adaptation of Monkey Island entitled The Curse of Monkey Island (presumably based on the game of the same name), which was cancelled before its official announcement, three years prior to the release of The Curse of the Black Pearl. This film was allegedly in production at Industrial Light & Magic before being cancelled. Ron Gilbert, the creator of the Monkey Island video game series, has jokingly expressed a bitterness towards the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise for its similarities to Monkey Island. Gilbert has also stated that On Stranger Tides, a novel by Tim Powers which was adapted into the fourth film, was the principal source of inspiration for his video games.

Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) Main article: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales On May 29, 2013, it was announced that Norwegian Directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg would be helming the film. [1] On August 22, 2013, it was revealed that the title of the fifth film would be Dead Men Tell No Tales, alluding to the line well-known from the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park attractions. [2] [3] On January 15, 2014, directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg confirmed that shooting would start in Puerto Rico and New Orleans at the end of the year. [4] Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is hopeful that the film can be ready for summer 2016. [5] On March 18, 2014, Marc Graser tweeted that Disney hasn't greenlit the film yet.

[6] Development First film In the early 1990s screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio conceived of writing a film based on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Disney had Jay Wolpert write a script based on the ride, which producer Jerry Bruckheimer rejected, feeling it was "a straight pirate movie". Bruckheimer brought Stuart Beattie in to rewrite the script in March 2002, due to his knowledge of piracy, and later that month Elliott and Rossio were brought in. Elliott and Rossio, inspired by the opening narration of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme-park ride, decided to give the film a supernatural edge. As the budget rose, Michael Eisner and Robert Iger threatened to cancel the film, though Bruckheimer changed their minds when he showed them concept art and animatics. In June 2002 [ Verbinski ] signed on to direct Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl , and Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush signed on the following month to star.

Verbinski was attracted to the idea of using modern technology to resurrect a genre that had disappeared after the Golden Age of Hollywood, and recalled his childhood memories of the ride, feeling the film was an opportunity to pay tribute to the "scary and funny" tone of it. Depp was attracted to the story as he found it quirky: rather than trying to find treasure, the crew of the Black Pearl were trying to return it in order to lift their curse; also, the traditional mutiny had already taken place. Verbinski approached Rush for the role of Barbossa, as he knew he would not play it with attempts at complexity, but with a simple villainy that would suit the story's tone. Orlando Bloom read the script after Rush, with whom he was working on Ned Kelly, suggested it to him. Keira Knightley came as a surprise to Verbinski: he had not seen her performance in Bend It Like Beckham and was impressed by her audition. Tom Wilkinson was negotiated with to play Governor Swann, but the role went to Jonathan Pryce , whom Depp idolized.

Shooting for The Curse of the Black Pearl began on October 9, 2002 and wrapped by March 7, 2003. Before its release, many executives and journalists had expected the film to flop, as the pirate genre had not been successful for years, the film was based on a theme-park ride, and Depp rarely made a big film. However, The Curse of the Black Pearl became both a critical and commercial success. Second and third films After seeing how well the first film was made, the cast and crew signed for two more sequels to be shot back-to-back, a practical decision on Disney's part to allow more time with the same cast and crew. Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio knew that with an ensemble cast, they weren't free to invent totally different situations and characters, as with the Indiana Jones and James Bond series, and so had to retroactively turn The Curse of the Black Pearl into the first of a trilogy. They wanted to explore the reality of what would happen after Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann 's embrace at the end of the first film, and initially considered the Fountain of Youth as the plot device.

They settled on introducing Davy Jones , the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken , a mythology mentioned twice in the first film. They introduced the historical East India Trading Company, which for them represented a counterpoint to the themes of personal freedom represented by pirates. Filming for the sequels began on February 28, 2005, with Dead Man's Chest finishing on March 1, 2006, and At World's End on January 10, 2007. The second film was also the first Disney theatrical feature film with the current computer-generated Walt Disney Pictures logo. Fourth film Rossio and Elliot discovered the novel On Stranger Tides during production of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End and decided to use it as the basis for a fourth film. As Gore Verbinski was unavailable, Bruckheimer invited Rob Marshall to direct the film. Elliott and Rossio decided to do a standalone film, with a story that would support new characters, and incorporate elements from the novel, such as Blackbeard , the Fountain of Youth and mermaids—the latter two having been already alluded to in the previous films.

Depp, Rush, Greg Ellis and Kevin McNally returned to their roles, and the cast saw the additions of Ian McShane as Blackbeard and Penélope Cruz as Angelica, Blackbeard's daughter and Jack Sparrow's love interest. A further addition was Richard Griffiths as King George II of Great Britain. After the costly production of two simultaneous films, Disney tried to scale down the fourth installment, giving a lower budget, which led to cheaper locations and fewer scenes with special effects. It was also filmed in 3D, with cameras similar to the ones used in Avatar. Filming for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides began June 14, 2010 and ended on November 19, 2010. It was released in the United States on May 20, 2011. Fifth film In the fourth film the cast and crew were told by Disney not to occupy their time in the near future, as the studio intended to shoot a fifth and sixth film back-to-back. [7] However, it was later stated that only a fifth film was in the works.

On January 14, 2011, it was confirmed that Terry Rossio would write the screenplay for the fifth installment, without his co-writer Ted Elliott , the second Jerry Bruckheimer -produced film to do so after Déjà Vu . [8] Johnny Depp said that he would be happy to return as Captain Jack Sparrow saying "As long as we can put all the puzzle pieces together, I would most definitely consider it". Jerry Bruckheimer said that the fifth film would be a stand-alone film. It was reported that Terry Rossio finished the script for the fifth film, and he had handed it to Disney executives. [9] Geoffrey Rush had commented on returning as Hector Barbossa in the fifth installment, saying "If they keep shapeshifting this character, absolutely" as well as implying he may return as the villain. [10] He also said that Barbossa's megalomania "could explode in horrific ways." [11] Speaking at the fourth film's press launch in Cannes, Depp said he would play the role for as long as it is popular with the public.

[12] In October 2011, Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that they are working on a script. [13] [14] In an interview, Kevin McNally stated that a fall 2012 production start was possible. Disney had a wishlist of directors they would like to direct, including Tim Burton , Sam Raimi , Alfonso Cuaron, Shawn Levy, Chris Weitz , and original Pirates director Gore Verbinski . Verbinski and Burton were Disney's top choices as they had both worked with Disney and Johnny Depp on numerous occasions. [15] On July 6, 2011, Johnny Depp was reported to be close to a deal for the fifth film. [16] Orlando Bloom said he would like to return for the film if he was offered. [17] There was a report by Moviehole that, when asked about the film's plot, a separate Disney contact simply said: "Will Turner's story might not be finished". [18] In August 2012 news surfaced that Johnny Depp signed on officially for the fifth film.

[19] In November 2012, Sunset, the ship which played the Black Pearl and the Queen Anne's Revenge in the second, third, and the latter in the fourth film was docked into Long Beach, California from Oahu, Hawaii where On Stranger Tides was filmed, waiting for her call up. [20] On January 11, 2013, Jeff Nathanson signed on to write the script for the film. On January 14, 2013, Disney announced that the film would be released on July 10, 2015. [21] On May 9, 2013, Disney announced its short list of directors included Fredrik Bond, Joachim Rønning & Espen Sandberg, and Rupert Sanders. [22] On May 29, 2013, Rønning and Sandberg were selected to direct. [23] On August 22, 2013, Rønning and Sandberg revealed that the title of the fifth film would be Dead Men Tell No Tales.

[24] They also confirmed that they were working on the film, speaking highly of Jeff Nathanson's "funny and touching" script and that they are inspired by the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl . [25] [26] On September 10, 2013, Disney pushed back the film's initial 2015 release, [27] with sources indicating that a Summer 2016 release is likely. [28] Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that script issues were behind the delay, and that Jeff Nathanson was at work on a second attempt based on a well-received outline. [29] Since the delay, rumors have arisen regarding the film, including its plot. On September 11, 2013, Bleeding Cool revealed plot details for the film which includes a new female lead and troublemaker for Captain Jack Sparrow who is suspected of witchcraft, but is actually a scientist; two new romantic leads from farming families; a ghost in a lead role, a former member of the British military who is now sided with Captain Barbossa on a revenge mission, which gives the film its title.

The film also supposedly starts with an "awkward wedding" and concludes with "a riff on the myth of the Bermuda Triangle". [30] Daily Mail later reported that Keith Richards would return as Jack Sparrow's dad Captain Teague and that the plot revolves around a search for "The Trident", which Richard's Teague holds valuable information to. Other details seem to confirm previous rumors: Christoph Waltz may play the villain named "Captain Brand", who wants the Trident so he can get his revenge on Jack, who Brand believes had turned his brother Eric into a pirate, which led to his death. [31] Bleeding Cool, when commenting the latest, says "the Waltz part is nothing like a done deal. Indeed, I’d call their story hearsay." [32] [33] Another plot detail is that Jack becomes enchanted by Barbossa's daughter, Carina Smyth. Carina is a skilled astronomer who is accused of witchcraft due to her science knowledge and, according to Bleeding Cool, the studio is interested in Rebecca Hall for this role.

[34] On January 15, 2014, directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg confirmed that the shooting of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales would take place in Puerto Rico and New Orleans at the end of the year. [4] On January 19, 2014, Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook , who portrayed Pintel and Ragetti in the first three films, expressed their interests in returning for the fifth film. On April 4, 2014 Johnny Depp said in an interview that Bruckheimer and Disney had invited him in to collaborate with the writer Jeff Nathanson. He also said that he wants to bring a Pirates film that's very fresh and different, implying that it might be the last one in the series. [35] Another interview on April 13, 2014 Depp was quoted in saying: [36] “"Everyone involved wants the script to be right and perfect. So we have gone on to do other things (in the meantime). We are still going to do the film together. I enjoy them immensely. They are super talented. They have a great sense of humor.

I think they have a really fun approach to what we are going to do with the next 'Pirates.' Very happily and proudly, I have welcomed taking part in the story and working directly with the screenwriter (Jeff Nathanson)—he and I. It's working out really well that way. So I have high hopes for that 'Pirates 5' because if that's really the last one, which it probably is, I feel that we owe it to the audience who went and saw the films so many times. We’ll do it right and end it on a high note."” ―Johnny Depp. Later, regarding the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film, Jerry Bruckheimer said that he hopes to "get that going" by this fall or the end of the year "if everything lines up properly." While noting that Johnny Depp is expected to reprise his role, the producer also said they'd be happy to have Keith Richards return. Bruckheimer declined to speculate about a sixth Pirates film, saying simply, "We make 'em one at a time." [37] Principal cast
