Disney unleashes, for real this time, the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST trailer!

Published at:  Nov 30, 2005 10:06:15 PM CST

Hey folks, Harry here - in the midst of watching the director's cut of FRIGHTENERS - the ol portable telly rings and it's a voice, one whose name I did not catch, but the voice say, "Yahoo - Pirates Trailer" - and sure enough, Mr Voice be right, says I. Right you'll see. Sorry, Treasure Island flashbacks. Actually - I posted this trailer a long time ago - for about 30-40 minutes, when Disney rang to say it was an accidental release, and if I would mind taking the story down till they arranged for a proper debut for this the Crown Jewel of the Mouse House's 2006 slate. No problemo. For those that saw that version, it was roughly postage stamp size and had all the resolution of the Iraq War. Sorry, damn television influence. Anyways - Disney's chosen YAHOO to debut it, and hopefully in the next few days we'll get a HD transfer via the Quicktime site. I like YAHOO's full screen, but it just doesn't compare to the masterful quality of that damn HD stuff over at Apple.



How's the trailer? Outstanding. Davey Jones is intensely cool looking, and that Hammerhead bloke rules - and 10-eyes Jack rules! I can see that being a very popular look next Halloween. Well, here be the trailer:




Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me!

    by appleballs

    it's obvious Disney is putting all their eggs into their non-animated baskets. I'd figure this sequel would have just been some shitty rehash of the first, but I'm glad to see the whole gang in what appears (at least in this teaser) to be something new and fresh. Cool effects with the hammerhead dude and the davey snake beard. Almost feels like something Gilliam should have done. Kudos also to the 20,000 leagues under the sea like octopus too.

    Last I heard, they didn't get Keith in time for this one, but were still trying to get him in a small appearance in number 3. So, it's fairly safe to assume he will not be in "Dead Man's Chest."

    I personally liked the Superman teaser, but it's too esoteric for most audiences (at least the audiences I've seen the trailer with, along with most of the friends I've shown it to.) Most people react with confusion (i.e. who was narrating?), instead of "wowawesomneihavetogoseethat!".

    The first one nearly screwed itself by just going on and on. No need for any movie called PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN to be almost 150 minutes. And all Keira lovers get thee to a screening of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. If she wasn't a star, you'll see the birth of one in that movie.

    by ljeaster

    There are three Star Wars references and three Indiana Jones references respectively. Let's start with the Star Wars ones: A)The Han Solo blowing of pyre flames from ROTJ, B)Squidhead similarity with undead pirate that Loblaw pointed out, C)Ewok net reference when Orlando is tumbling over cliff edge (single shot of his face is reminiscent of Han or Luke in distress while netted by said Ewoks). Indiana Jones references: A)Jack Sparrow running from riotous, indigenous savages onto beachhead (ROLA), B)silhouetted figures against setting sun towards end of trailer, references ROLA again, and C)Skull faced warrior towards very end of trailer, references ToD. Thanks for playing.

    so we've heard rumors of Richards being Depps dad

    by bruticus

    but now its been said they couldn't get him in time.

    Could his father really be....DAVEY JONES? "Jack, I AM YOUR FATHER"

    Wouldn't that be awful empire strikes backish of them.

    Im just curious how they're going to explain this mess. So first Sparrow gets himself into a mess with the ghost pirates, and now davey jones has returned from the locker to come to get him? How does he get into so much trouble? I hope the plot is somehow tied in with the first movie. Maybe the curse on the black pearl came from davey jones in the first place? I dunno, too many magical sources could get hokey. Just my two cents. I'll be there, looks great, except that first cheese look on Depp's face.

    ...although in many ways a rambling mess, was also a lot of fun. Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow was inspired and the prospect of seeing another film with that character is certainly enough to get my money. Count me in. Bring on the swashbuckling, sea monsters, swordfights, naval battles and Sparrow hilarity.

    Are they really adding new stuff to the rides based on the movies? Jeez that's kind of incestuous. It'll be the ride based on the movies based on the ride.
    I've only been to a Disneyland once and despite all the super duper high-tec rides Pirates of the Carribbean was a secret fave. A classic. I DON'T want it changed based on these movies. Make a NEW ride.
    And if they ARE making a new ride then this time let's make sure that when it breaks down the pirates DO eat the guests.

    Pirates influences

    by prof.ikamono

    A lot of people here commenting on "influences" from Star Wars and/or Idiana Jones. Those film series themselves were largely influenced by old swashbuckler films from the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Fair's fair folks the pirates are just taking their old riffs back that's all. (Although the native are taken right out of the old "Danger Island" series from the Banana Splits!)

    What's with the "Pirates" bashing?

    by zakchase

    I know you've got to expect a certain amount of pointless negativity here, but I can't believe there are so many POTC haters. The first flick was a come-from-nowhere surprise that stands firmly as one of the best summer films of all time. It is a bit lengthy, but most of it soars on a kind of gleeful, anything-goes sense of adventure that reminds one of the glory days of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." And what can you say about Depp? The man is a genius who knows how to elevate every scene he appears in. I worry the two sequels may suffer do to the insanely fast production schedule for two huge movies, but this trailer went a long way toward assuaging those fears. "Chest" looks bloody great.

    OK OK, we can't really judge Superman Returns yet...but I have a bad feeling about it that I can't seem to shift out my mind. But Pirates 2 is pretty much guaranteed to be great. It's low risk, but it doesn't mean it won't be a good sequel. I just hope they haven't gone overboard (ha ha) with the number of effects shots just to try and spice things up. I liked that the first one made exemplary use of CG and mostly concentrated on the performances and lots of practical action like when the Pearl attacks the town and Depp and Bloom's swordfight.

    News to me and I'm into those kinds of creatures. You know, sexually. Hentai of the sea, I call it. Seriously though, having a Kraken is going to be awesome. I love how "savvy" they are about the lore of the time and making it real. The first movie was a much, much smarter film than I expected it to be and I saw it several times in theatres. I was afraid that they'd blown their wads on it, but this looks like more of the same, and for once I mean that in a good way.

    what if they just pulled some shit out of nowhere and made an Em

    by vinceklortho

    i like the idea there, soul.disconnect...just imagine, an epic battle at the end and Orlando dies by the blade of Bill Nighy and they capture Keira and take her to the far ends of the world. Jack must regroup his grungy group o' pirates and sail to rescue thy sweet princess. Fuck, it could be done, aren't they filmming the third one as well? Why not end the second with the bad guys winning and then redeem in the third?

    I was hoping for Captain Jack without the tag-a-long sidekicks

    by daredevil

    I wish Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly weren't in this. They tried to make them the central characters of the first one, when some of the story revolved around them, but they were just secondary characters like everyone except Jack and Barbarosa. Now that the plot really has nothing to do with them? Why are they even in it? You could put any "generic heroic pirate" in Blooms place, and you'd likely get someone more manly and likeable with whoever you chose. To fill the sidekick spot. And since you just HAVE to have "generic damsel in a corset" and you'd probably get someone who could act better than Knightly with whoever you chose. And really, do you need boring sidekicks taking up precious time that Captain Jack Sparrow could be doing something?

    Keith Richards

    by drjohnnyfever

    Keith couldn't appear in the films as he was touring with the Stones during filming. However, he will be in the prequels, in which we discover that Captain Jack was raised by Wookies.

    The trailer looks great. Like someone above me said, these POTC

    by orbots commander

    And would have figured that POTC would be the movie series that would elevate Johnny Depp to major superstar status?

    Almost makes me want to go back next summer... Although it requires a flight across half the country and an expensive hotel stay.
