PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST--- arrrrr, where be me bottle of rum'
Hey folks, Harry here with tidbits on the next Johnny Depp swoon-fest adventure known as... PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST. Now - I might have missed it before - but this was the first time I've seen the basic premise of the sequel laid out. I wonder who be Davey Jones?
hey harry, love the site, check this out
The Pirates sequel has been given it's title....Pirates of the
Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Disney studio Chairman Dick Cook
described the plot as follows: "This time around, Johnny returns as
Captain Jack Sparrow and is caught in yet another tangled web of
supernatural intrigue. It turns out, Captain Jack owes a blood debt to
the legendary Davey Jones, ruler of the ocean depths and captain of
the ghostly Flying Dutchman. If Jack can't figure a crafty way out of
this one, he'll be cursed to an afterlife of eternal servitude and
damnation. And as if that weren't enough, Captain Jack's problems
throw a huge wrench into the wedding plans of the blissful Will Turner
and Elizabeth Swann, who quickly find themselves thrust into Jack's
misadventures

...then I'll be happy. Loved Pirates of the Caribbean, though by all rights I shouldn't have. Looking forward to this one.
-
...it'll be terrible. The first one wasn't good, it was boring, bland, overlong, unfunny, and dumb.
-
for the new work out DVDs with Johnny Depp - "Pilates of the Caribbean". Now that's entertainment...
-
The first one was a lot of fun.
-
You know, this is one of those things that I expect Disney will get right... ESPECIALLY with the talent involved. Johnny Depp will right out steal the show and we will laugh and laugh and laugh all the way through and be amazed by the special effects and Keira's corset and all that.... But it's pirates, there's a ghost ship, a old western-ish title, and it'll all be just fun. I approve of this course for Disney (despite my distaste for not having their 2D studio to apply for work at when I finish animation school in three months).

Could one of the characters say that during a fight, please?

Disney is again being copycats here milking the series into a trilogy, the third move Pirates of the caribbean:Return of the Sith is already being cast with Carrot Top as the romantic lead
-
OK, so I liked the first film and saw it several times. Do I have to keep watching it again and again?
-
I was not expecting to like that film at all. But the movie's a lot of fun, and Captain Jack Sparrow is frickin' funny. Hope the sequels aren't as poor as, well...most sequels.

Just checking, you Limey bastard!

Now tell me that ain't exciting... could this mean a Danny Boyle-directed Halo movie? -
...Charlie Watts as Craggy McSkullface and Ron Wood as the haggard old crow.
-
I know who. THE FLYYYYYIIIING DUUUUUUUTCHMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
it was pretty stupid plot-wise, couldn't decide on a tone, and was too long. But I can't deny Depp's performance - he was great. And yes, I DO want to do several naughty things to Keira something-or-other. I won't say I'm looking forward to this, but I will probably see it in the theatre.
-
Most people who witnessed the ultra-popular modern day pirate Rupert Boneham during his t.v. Survivor run would agree. He MUST take a special part in this film! Perhaps a role created specifically for him??? -- Check this out: http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2004-09-15-rupert-donation_x.htm
-
...maybe it'll be half as long, too.
-
I thought it was kind of dumb, fun, and harmless but then it dragged on way too long like it was taking itself seriously. I doubt I'll go see this sequel and it's sad that Depp has sold out.
-
..........that Disney got Depp back for #2. With his amazing streak of work in recent years, actually his whole career, I would think he wouldn't be interested in doing the same thing again. 'Cause lets face it, the gay pirate/plainclothes elf sthick is gonna be exactly the same, as is the "adventure on the High Seas". Loved the first one, still interested to see how this works out.
-
...The Dread Pirate Steve from Dodgeball? He should be in there somewhere. And the guy who does the voice of Sea Captain on The Simpsons. Isn't there a Pirate Actors Guild these guys can petition for mandatory inclusion? I liked the first one of these much more than I thought I would. Could turn out to be a fun little franchise. Bet the third one has the son of Jack Sparrow in it. Any particularly piratey young actors out there who will be 17-21 in three years?
-
Now that is worth paying for!
-
I really liked pirates. For years, I was all, "Damn, I wish I could see a movie about pirates. That Cutthroat Island was pretty lame and set back pirate-movie relations for years." Then this Pirates of the Caribbean thing came out. Great, about the ride. But it was really good and made a lot of money. Pirate movies were back, baby!! Finally!! Well, it was pretty good. But too damn long. If they fix that for the sequels, it should be fine. It's all Johnny Depp anyway.
-
I did enjoy it overall, but it really needed to be edited down. Too many endings as well.
-
The plot basically sounds like the same as the original with different names. -
...with wackiness!
-
I won't know because I do not intend to milk the teet of this shitty franchise anymore.

Loved the first one and really looking forward to this. Cool title too- very Piratey Arrrrr!!! Now all they have to do is cast Keith Richards as Johnny's Dad and consider my pants jizzed!!!
-
I thought POTC:COTBP(phew) was a fucking fantastic movie. I was seriously expecting it to be crap and was totally blown away. Whoever said it got crap when it took itself seriously is wrong because that's the GREAT thing about it. They got the balance between fun and action and seriousness absolutely perfect. Instead of the piece of Hollywood shit that it could have been it was fucking awesome.

by kongmonkey
Mr. Frodo dumped him at the end of that one movie, so he's going back with an old dead flame. Fags. The first film was just too hyped over by the horny high school chicks that faint on sight of Depp or the elf dude. Though the zombies did look cool. I assume this ones gonna have ghost now instead of zombie. I'd rather see what else is on that island with the aztec gold. When the camera drew back in that one scene, it showed a volcano and other shit behind the mist.
BTW: Did pirates actually wear makeup and shit like in all these movies? Thats just sad... -

by ribbons
Is it legit? I dunno. Then again, I don't know much. I'm not sure how much I'm looking forward to these sequels. I ought to give them the benefit of the doubt because the first one commands respect, but 'Dead Man's Chest' seems a bit...hmm, well....hmm...lame for a name. The premise sounds okay though. Could be interesting; let's just hope they don't subtitle the third installment 'Rated Arrr!'
-
Where do they get those names? >_<
-
"Yeah, John, but when the Pirates Of The Caribbean break down, the pirates don't try to *eat* the tourists!"
-
...then it will suck only half as much. Perhaps one day everyone will stop falling all over themselves to kiss Depp's ass and give him awards. Mediocre at best.
-
The first flick had more action, adventure and just plain fun than all of Phantom Menace and both Mummy flicks combined. Now if only some madman will just take the Foglio's "Girl Genius" series and make that into a big-budget trilogy I will be oh so happy, but they need to bring to it the same sense of fun that is present in the first Pirates of the Caribbean. And Orlando Bloom. . .*sigh.* Toppu o Nerae!

Didn't like the first one. BUT please change the score composer
by iamjacksuserid
I hated that generic ass trailer music fodder.
-
seriously, i was nearly fall to sleep, especially in the middle act....i don't understand you westerners
-
Can I pay half the money?
-
Then the first one will be twice as good as the second.
-
I loved the 2/3 of pirates of the caribbean i felt was necessary to satisfactorily tell the story. At almost 2.5 hrs, Black Pearl was waaaay too long. I hope that, in making back-to-back sequels, the filmmakers will make two one-hundred minute pirate movies instead of one insufferably long one.
-
The original Pirates was great unfortunately it was toooooooo long.
-
..then there's absolutely no hope for the third one (you know: if numbah 3 is half as good as numbah 2 ... then numbah 3 is only what good than numbah 1? 33,3%? 17%? 666%) Help i'm confused.

Although those fighting scenes (along with Hans Zimmer's workman-like score) tended to go on and on and on. I think the sequels will probably be decent. But damnit, doesn't this premise sound like a retread of the first damn movie? Couldn't they have thought of something a little different?

whats the problem with potc being 2 and a half hours long
by jimdin2001
thats what, 150 minutes, its really not that long, its not like after 2hours you switched off in it. you get more for your money
-
seriously, dont bring back orlando bloom, the love story shit was the worst part of the movie. cut out the girl and orlando and you have a pretty great pirate movie (and its not so long), but seriously, i dont want an 80min pirate movie, just if its over 2 hours, we need what you would call AN INTERMISSION, they had these back in the day when seeing a movie was an event, and people werent running a daycare/telemarketing scheme from thier seats.

The secret to success for this sequel ? Kiera Knightly's tits. Let's see them, Disney !

THAT ... would put our married butts there ... on opening weekend. Make it happen, Disney!

Would you eat dinner at the house of a guy named Dick Cook?
by lezbo milk
I thought not.
-
Gotta tell you Bro. You drop the fact that you're married so consistently that it makes me think of Harry's "sex kitten" in New York he used to talk about. These gentlemen doth protest too much, me thinks.
-
I gotta tell ya, bro. The reason why I (sometimes) mention my wife is to convey the "female interest" ... which is an important factor for Hollywood to consider. Why do you think there always seems to be a "love interest" in films of big budget action and special effects? They have to pull in that female audience to make their money back, see? -- Just look at the Batman movies, for example. It seems Warner Bros. can't make a Batman movie without some romance ... and the likely reveal of his secret identity. (It's sad, I know.) -- I happen to feel quite strongly that the ultra-popular Rupert Boneham should be in this next pirate movie ... and it would be a mistake NOT to include him, ... at least in SOME capacity. Disney could capitalize on Boneham's popularity ... and if they do get him involved, you just step back and watch the attention the movie will get. Men and women (both) were entertained by his pirate-like antics on t.v.'s "Survivor", 'cause he's a pirate with a heart of gold. (And if Rupert Boneham doesn't look like a PIRATE, then tell me who does.)
-
I see what you're saying, m'man, but I'm not sure I agree with you. It might be fun to give Rupert a cameo, maybe, but no one knows for sure he can even act (I know, IF). I mean, it feels like a weird thing to even be arguing. Anybody can look like a pirate with the appropriate prosthetics and makeup, so I don't think his appearance is anything special (and really, it's akin to saying something like "Dave Krumholtz HAD to play a hobbit because he resembles one"). The only reason Disney would have for throwing the man a bone is his recognition factor, but even then, there's stuff about demographics and PR that would make the decision more trouble than it's worth.

I respect your opinion (and everyone else's) here at "aintitcool" ... and I understand what your saying, in how the appearance of an actor can be changed quite dramatically with a fair amount of ease (by professional make-up artists). But I'm just saying it would be a smart movie (on Disney's part) if they give Rupert Boneham a shot. Have the director invite him in for a test-screening. Just see what he can do. Allow the director to decide "if" and "how" he can use him. And if Mr. Boneham shows some surprising talent, he should get a part that suits his ability. (That's all that I really ask of Disney.)
-
POC:Black Pearl was great fun and anyone who didn't like it is a sour SOB who hates life. Nuff said! Can't wait for this one.
-
the "Barbosa's Daughter" idea that was floated as a love interest for Jack? (If it's been mentioned in this thread forgive me for not reading it...) Love the Keith Richards bit, though!
