Ah, so the first trailer for next year's adventure PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES is here and it features mermaids, zombies and lots, lots of Captain Jack Sparrow, since it has become a two/three hour private show of Johnny Depp.
In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and 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 formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
Directed by Rob Marshall the film also features two stunning young creatures Astrid Berges-Frisbey and Sam Claflin.
waaa for some reason my puter won't play the trailer...what a tease!
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does this have a huge overtone of 'milking the franchise' on it? It looks like an exciting movie, and I'll damn well enjoy it too, but it's just become 'The Jack Sparrow Show'. I fear that it may lead to darker things... like an animated TV show or something.

ReplyDeletetry it over at HOLLYWOOD SPY's official YouTube page Lyndylove, you have the link in the right sidebar :)
@Jamie
it's not just you, they are totally milking it :) I've stopped following the franchise after the first part.
I haven't been interested in the Pirates movies since the first one, but Ian McShane huh? They sure get some great thespians in this flick, but still I probably skip this one again.
ReplyDeletewooty! saw it (the trailer) and loved it! I love the adventurous spirit. The music is of course very cool as is all the sets and locations. YAYAYAYAYAY!
ReplyDeletePS If they keep it fun then it's a franchise I don't mind them milking ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's one of them movies where I love the main movie, enjoy the lead role character (Depp in this case), but the rest of the movie never really grabs me. But need to give them a fair try first I thinK the trailer for this looks cool though.
ReplyDeleteYay for more pirates!
ReplyDeleteDEZMOND - I can't resist Johnny Depp and pirates. I'm excited. =D
ReplyDeleteCan't help it, love the trailer. If Johnny Depp's in it, it okay by me.

Thoughts in Progress
Gonna have to see this one -- just for Giggles.
ReplyDeleteI saw the trailer yesterday just before the Tron: Legacy screening, I like the idea of Depp and Cruz somehow. Maybe I'll watch for these two when it's released.
ReplyDelete@J-SON: Yeah, I also like the idea of Depp and Cruz. I can't wait to watch it.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea Blackbeard is in this one. Ian
ReplyDeleteMcShane(Deadwood fame) will be great! Enough already, though. I understand the premise of the movie; There aren't many movies one can take their family to; Animated, 3D seem to rule the theaters, these days.
I agree milking it for all it's worth; I just hope Disney is using this as a marketing tool.
I mean, I can see animated series. I think they are going bigger, think theme park in the works.
@Flixy
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Flixy, I've seen the first one and fell asleep a number of times :)
@Lyndylove
I think the whole movie is only about sets, costumes and music :)
@Agent Sanders
yep, agreed, it never grabbed me either, although I love being grabbed :)
@Julie
ReplyDeleteglad you liked it, Juls :)
@Shells
I know you can't, Shells, I know you can't :P
@Masy
I know you love Depp, Masy :)
@Mary
ReplyDeleteyep, it will bring you some giggles for sure :)
@J-Son
so how was Tron? Did it fulfill the expectations?
@Morgan
glad you like it, Morgan :)
@Ella
yes, there aren't many family appropriate movies these days, although I'm nut sure how appropriate this one is either :)
Oh, visual and sound effects were superb. But I had an issue with its screenplay though. It is worth checking out for its aesthetic values Desmond, you might like it better than I did! =)
ReplyDeletethey made another one??? jiminey! at least it looks like there's no kiera knightly- the worst part of the other ones in my opinion...
ReplyDeletebut jack sparrow gets irritating to me...
i'm betting the hubs will demand we see it though. but you are right: the music, sets, costumes, CG (davy jones), some of the actors- are terrific... it's just the rest. :P
I need to watch this series--still have not seen a single one. Arrgggh!

Tossing It Out
Pirates, zombies AND Johnny Depp?! I'm there! :)
ReplyDeleteAND Johnny Depp...don't forget Johnny Depp! ;)
ReplyDelete@J-Son
ReplyDeleteso it's actually just as we expected :)
@Vics
yep, no Keira Knightley, the worst part of any movie she appeared in :)
@Arlee
you haven't missed much, Lee, believe me.
@Lisa
ah, you're in Depp's fan club? :)
@Lyndylove
yes, he takes 99% of the movie :)
Meh, the Pirates ship said a while ago for me....
ReplyDeleteAnd no Knightley means I no see the movie.
yep, they sailed away from my harbour too :) No Orly means I no see the movie :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're really milking this given Depp's massive popularity but I'm hoping it'll end soon!
ReplyDeletewell, if the film scores millions again, I'm sure they will make the 5th one as well :((
ReplyDeleteHEY... I'll take a movie about Jack Sparrow ANY DAY :) I think this movie and I will get along JUST fine :)
ReplyDeleteYaaaah, just watched the trailer twice! I really enjoyed the first two films, they were a lot of silly fun. I didn't like the third one at all, but if this one keeps the spirit of the first two (a whole lot of ridiculous), I'm sure it will be great.
ReplyDelete@Kristin
ReplyDeleteah, so you're one of them Sparroworshippers :))
@Faith
glad you liked it, Faith ;)
