Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Mean Tell No Tales – New Cast Member Announced As The Production Begins
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is set to be released on July 7, 2017, and Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films gave us more information!
The studio announce Tuesday that production began in Queensland, Australia. The movie will be film entirely on locations within Queensland or at Village Roadshow Studios.
Of course, Johnny Depp will be back as Jack Sparrow, a role that gave him an Academy Award nomination. Also returning: Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa, Kevin R. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs and Stephen Graham as Scrum. As for Orlando Bloom, even though he announced in December that he was in talk with the Studio, it’s still a rumour if he will come back as Will Turner or not.
As for the newcomers, we will see Javier Bardem (Bardem’s wife, Penélope Cruz, played Angelica in 2011’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.), Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner), Brenton Thwaites (Maleficent) and Golshifteh Farahani (Exodus: Gods and Kings).
Rob Marshall will not come back as the director of this fifth entry, leaving Espen Sandberg and Joachim Rønning at the helm of the ship. Up to this day, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise made more than $3.7 billion.
The film was written by Jeff Nathanson, known for Catch Me If You Can, Rush Hour 2 and 3, The Terminal and Indiane Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It’s without any surprises that Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
Here’s the official plot synopsis:
“Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him. Captain Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.”
Will the movie live up to the expectations, or has the ship sailed long ago?
Can’t wait to see. I just hope Will Turner will come back.
That’s good news anyway. It means that we are going to see new Pirates miveos, and the most important to me, maybe new enhancements to the attractions and new versions of it in the new parks. Hope that the next Pirates movie spends more money on the plot and less on SFX. The last movie was not bad, but the plot is too fantastic and full of wholes. The best movie was the first, in my opinion because the plot is simpler, “more believable” and makes more sense for a pirates movie (cursed treasure). In contrast, the third one is more nonsense than Tim Burton’s Alice, and the worst in my point of view. Is it too much to ask for a plot in which the pirates plan to capture and loot a big Spanish galleon full of gold, that is travelling on the Caribbean on its way to Spain from the rich Central American colonies, or something like that? Or to ask for more realistic 17th century Pirate ships? Anyway hope that the franchise still have a long and successful life!
