Another Glimpse At Ian McShane's Boat In PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES!!
Merrick here...
A month or two ago we ran some pictures of a new ship that'll be appearing in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES (pictures HERE).
At that point, we had no context for what the vessel was or who it belonged to - all we knew was it looked mean and was sitting in a shipyard being readied for filming.
We know know a little more - and have a clearer image of the boat's unpleasant bowsprit (please forgive me if this term is wrong - I'm open to correction in the Talkbacks below).
This is EMBIGGENABLE!

The ship in question - it's called Queen Anne's Revenge and belongs to Ian McShane's Blackbeard character, who we got our first look at last week (HERE).
PIRATES 4 opens next May with a screenplay by returning scripters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio (shaped from Tim Powers' novel ON STRANGER TIDES, availabe HERE
) and helmed by Rob Marshall.

Almost, anyway.
-
I was not too excited about PotC4, but the casting and early production pics have changed my mind.
-
After some research I found out that Great Dane life expectancy is less than ten years due to the way they're built and how they've been bred. This is the movie's greatest asset, hopefully Marmaduke doesn't live to see a sequel
-
Is it a Simpsons reference? From 1996? You are the weakest link, goodbye.
-
felt when Indy was on the front of that truck...
I mean. We haven't felt that since. Can that be done? Can I hang from a cliff again in a movie? Can it be done? Can someone at least try? -

We can't exactly quote Simpsons episodes from much later than '96, since '97 was the last year the show was funny, but why does it matter what year the reference is from, anyway? It's not like it's topical or anything. It's just a humorous fake word.

Things We wish Ian McShane would say in the next Pirate Movie:
by spazmatic1074
"I'll Keel Haul all of you miserable Cock Suck Suckers!"
-
Yes, it's a Simpsons reference. Is there a statute of limitations on the age of a reference? That's a shame; most of my favorite shows and movies are older than that.
-
had such inane dialogue and goofy plots.
-
That's a cream of the crop era simpsons reference. Completely allowable, and it'll always be cool. Know what is gay? Referencing the weakest link
-
Is a perfectly cromulent word
-
SO WE PUT A SKELETON ON YOUR SKELETON SO YOU CAN HUMP BONES WHILE YOU HUMP BONES.
-
...but close. That's the figurehead, and it's attached to the bowsprit.
-
Everyone else is just kicking the pieces around.
-
I can't wait!!!! I only wish disney would take some time and make "space mountain: the movie" or "it's a small world:3d". So many cynical marketing ploys, so little time.
-
Is that your final answer? Top 5 answers are on the board. Jeezuz
-
Have Pixar do it. It will be awesome.
-
Are fools. It's a perfectly cromulent word.
-
You retard. And no, that's not a Life Goes On reference. You actually are one.
-
Too true! Ive been hoping for a Monkey Island movie for years.Sam Rockwell for Guybrush Threepwood
-
Still unclear why you need little skeletons fucking its back through. Kind of went from badass to creepy skeleton gay bar really quickly.
-
...screw embiggen. Embrace pronk.
-
pow thwack twitch crumple ruffle crumple glug glug
-
I wondered if the weakest link ref was some lame attempt at being clever. But why would someone clever challenge such a perfect simpsons ref? So I decided you were an FAS baby. What do you reference, family guy?
-
Totally uncool. My cum-toilet has down syndrome. Well, I call her cum-toilet anyway. You call her "mom".
-
Well, actually I think MiggyBloo's "weakest link" reference was supposed to be ironic there, which is kind of clever except that it was taken from Family Guy. But I still don't see any problem with quoting a 14 year old Simpsons episode. This isn't rocket science, it's brain surgery.
-
People that stopped watching new episodes: LOSERS!
-
So that actually was a family guy reference? Fuck me, that is so lame.
-
Is not still going strong. They just rehash old story ideas. It's overly referential to the point where it feels like one of those lame "epic movie" type parody movies. In an attempt to keep the show fresh they've fundamentally changed the characters (homer not just dumb, he's psychotic; moe is suicidal; barney doesn't drink etc). The new eps have funny moments, but usually get lame when the story starts rolling.
-
was zoe saldanas character from the 1st pirate raped and killed or raped and sold as a slave... my poor beautiful dominican...
-
All I know for sure is that she will eventually have sex with a white dude, as she does in every movie.
-
Can't we assume that she's part of the bone cage in the second movie? In other words, the cannibals boned her.
-
Will we be seeing a Gulliver's Travels like story in the fourth one? Interesting.
-
They coulda made it look like that. Hope they at least use Blackbeard's real flag.
-
I see one giant skeleton and three human sized, possibly RDJ sized, skeletons.
-
I mean that whole big pirate meeting they had to hold, wasn't that supposed to be every major pirate in the world gathering at that thing? So why wasn't he THERE?
-
of fine caliber films like Machete.
-
That's him, right?

Look, it's tiny details that won't be visible in the final film!
by jt kirk
It's not a bad little piece of business tho'.
-
oh well, we all know she turned out better than that flatter chest girl, Orlando Bloom
-
This cock is also embiggenable.
-
Nice... How come I don't see this on AICN???
-
That is all.
