A couple of weeks ago we got to see the first photos from the Hawaiian set of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides which has finally begun filming production and today we get to see the first photos of actor Johnny Depp in full costume on set as Captain Jack Sparrow:
The countdown to the eagerly-awaited fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean film has begun after Johnny Depp started filming in Hawaii. The 47-year-old was back in his battered leathers, boots, bandanna and dreadlocked wig to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in On Stranger Tides. The actor was reportedly offered a $50million salary to reprise his role as the the seafaring hero for a fourth time. Notably absent from the third sequel is Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley as Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Fans will know Bloom’s character Will was killed off in the last movie, At World’s End after a fight with Davy Jones (Bill Nighy). Instead, audiences will be treated to another stunning female co-star for Depp – Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, 36. The film will be something of a reunion for Cruz and Depp, who played lovers in 2001 film Blow. Also providing eye candy for male audiences is Australian supermodel Gemma Ward, 22, as a mermaid. Another new addition to the cast is English actor Ian McShane, who will play 18th century pirate Blackbeard. Blackbeard was a real-life pirate from Bristol, whose real name was Edward Teach. The pirate was greatly feared by seamen at the height of his piracy in 1713 and 1718, when he sailed the seven seas on his ship Queen Anne’s Revenge … On Stranger Tides sees Captain Jack crossing paths with Angelica (Cruz), a sexy woman from his past. Unsure of whether she genuinely feels for him or is a con artist using him to search for the fountain of youth, Captain Jack is forced onto Queen Anne’s Revenge – Blackbeard’s famous ship. Jack finds himself torn between who to fear more – Blackbeard or Angelica.
Dude, for $50 million it’s no wonder that Johnny was happy to get back into costume for another Pirates film. Tho, I have to say that I doubt very much that this 4th film will be as successful as the previous 3 films were. I mean, I bet it’ll do well but I have a hard time believing it will generate as much money at the box office … but, what the hell do I know? I didn’t believe a movie based on a ride at Disneyland would be a success and it turned into a megamillion dollar movie franchise! Jack‘s back, ready or not. Are you excited?
