The Official Pirates of The Caribbean: World's End Thread!

[Cmill216]

I liked the movie. It was cool. Now the question is, would you guys want to see another crop of sequels in a live action format, or animated?

If the live action film series' quality follows the current trend, then I'd much prefer them go the animated route.

I don't really understand why people didn't like Pirates 3. The only glaring problems I had with it involved the treatment of Keira Knightley.

Keira and the Liz character were the best things in the film. She looked gorgeous, and she had a suprisingly strong character arc.

Oh Hans is amazing, I think I like DMC soundtrack the best.

Oh totally. I bought the DMC score back when it first came out and am still in love with it. I'm really excited for his The Dark Knight stuff.

 

[Ebil Gig]

lol, someone lied.

That's pretty bad quality so I wrote it out:

Spoiler

What happened after the credits?!

The ending scene started out with a little boy running to a clif singing 'Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me'. There's a caption that says' 10 Years Later'. Then you see Elizabeth catching up to the boy. He is obviously her son. They both look out to sea and sea the sun setting. There's a shot of Elizabeth's face and she's smiling. THen you see the Green Flash. She and her son look at each other smiling. Then you see a shot of the Dutchman with Will on it, hanging off the side, smiling (rather sexily, I might add). Then theres a shot of Elizabeth and her son standing at the cliff watching the Dutchman come closer to the island.

Really huh.....I guess that reason is good enough for me to go see Pirates again

 

[Reek]

after seeing AWE again, i must say i keep gettin disappointed and very pleased at the same time... the Maelstrom.

I loved the effects. but it was entirely too rushed into. have atleast some fighting then the maelstrom. the two ships fighting was fine, maybe a little more crazy attempts to win(swinging towards eachother above the whirlpool was a fantastic scene) but the Davy VS Jack fight disappoints me more and more. I was expectin a epic sword fight, leading from the mast, to maybe hanging on ropes fighting, and ending up in the crows nest. in all honesty that sword fight is on screen for maybe 2 minutes. if having an amazing sword fight between Davy and Jack adds 5-10 more minutes, i would not even notice bc i would be so into the fight.

or have the movie the same length with an epic Davy VS Jack fight, and completely cut out the calypso story line and just have Tia Dalma being a bad ass voodoo lady. I like a badass voodoo lady creating the whirlpool and breaking Davys heart, even sentencing him to his duties(shes a voodoo lady with magic type powers anyway, so why not?) but instead she turns into calypso in story line that didnt add up to half of its expectation

and yes DE.... AWE....still....owns me.

On second viewing, I wasn't as impressed as I was the first time. Just seem to prefer the original more.

The Pirates Hit USA's Shore

Disney's Buena Vista TV has sold Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End to USA Network for a license fee of about $28 million in the network window, reports Variety.

USA pursued the film with cutthroat fervor because it had bought the rights to the first two "Pirates" movies. The network piled up the highest rating for a theatrical movie in USA'S 27-year history when it aired the first of the "Pirates" pics, "Curse of the Black Pearl," last year.

"At World's End" becomes available to USA in September 2009 for a five-year license term. Within the span of that five-year period, however, USA has allowed Buena Vista to sell as many as three separate one-run windows of "At World's End" to a broadcast or a cable network, which could pump another $8 million or more in license fees into the studio's coffers.

Before it gets to USA, "At World's End" will begin its pay-TV premiere next summer on Starz.

[TwilightPro101]

Great news, which means we'll be seeing it on Sci-Fi Channel as well.

 

[grey_jeanie]

So where do you think Elizabeth ends up?

 

[TwilightPro101]

Happily content with her son. Still always tied to the Pirate lifestyle in some form or another. Even if its just helping them or staying in contact with the others.

 

[grey_jeanie]

She can't just be living in the wilderness.

 

[TwilightPro101]

There was never any implication that she was living in the wilderness. She was a costal point, probably near a town. But honestly that's up to speculation. The focus was on the horizon and the return of Will. We don't even know if she lived there for a fact. There wasn't any supporting evidence as such.

 

[grey_jeanie]

No, I suppose she is pirate king after all and captain of her own ship. I hope the kid likes boats!

 

[ghost_x]

What happens if Will steps on dry land now?

 

[grey_jeanie]

Starts turning into a fish-like person like Davey Jones, maybe? Most likely because if he is on land then he is not doing the job he is meant to be doing ie. ferrying the dead. Although that doesn't explain why Davey Jones still didn't do it, he was already a squid face.

He turned like that as he didn't do his job right which was carrying the souls of those who died at sea to the other side, thats what made him Fish like and his crew.
No one knows what happens if he steps on land they never really said what does.


Ok you know when the Tia Dem what ever her name is becomes the godness when she is 100ft tall what does she say, could never understand lol.

lol I was like what she shouting out lol.

"Pirates" beat "Matrix" in high-def duel

It was the battle of the high-def disc titans, and the pirates won.

In the first of what observers expect will be many high-profile title showdowns, Disney on May 22 released the first two "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies on Blu-ray Disc, just before the third installment in the blockbuster franchise opened on the big screen.

The same day, Warner Home Video released two "Matrix" collections on the rival HD DVD format.

Within a week, consumers had spent more than $2 million on those releases alone, according to market research estimates from trade publication Home Media Magazine. The two "Pirates" films sold a combined total of a little less than 47,000 units, while the higher-priced "Matrix" sets sold about 13,900 units.

In dollars there was more parity because the single-disc "Pirates" releases fetched about $25 in stores, while the "Matrix" sets, each with all three movies in the franchise, were priced significantly higher. The five-disc "The Ultimate Matrix Collection" lists for $119.99, while "The Complete Matrix Trilogy" (three discs) goes for $99.99.

Both high-def formats are gaining traction amid growing Hollywood sentiment that the format war isn't necessarily a bad thing. Observers question whether hardware prices would have dropped as dramatically as they have if only one format was on the market.

Warner said last week that sales of "The Departed," which was released the same day as the DVD on both HD DVD and Blu-ray, have surpassed 100,000 units.

In March, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment said it had shipped 100,000 Blu-ray Disc copies of another new theatrical, "Casino Royale," which as of the end of April had sold through to consumers 74,280 units.

What happens if Will steps on dry land now?

I don't know who governs these rules, but Will and Davy were allowed one day to step on land every ten years...

Spoiler

which is why Will was coming back ten years later after the credits. That was the earliest he's allowed to return. And then it's back off to his duties.

It's pretty much open to intrerpretation since nothing was ever said otherwise except for the fact that she had a child.

 

[grey_jeanie]

On the website, wordplayer.com, the Ted and Terry said that the green flash, signifying a soul coming back from the dead, means the curse being broken. This is because the curse is dependant on the lover being faithful. As Elizabeth was, the curse was lifted.

This was meant to be conveyed in the film, according to them, but it was hard to decipher because of how much had to be edited out.

 

[TwilightPro101]

So he returned to her and more or less regained a normal relationship with her,

Now if only they could have spelled that out fully.

 

[grey_jeanie]

Of course it probably should be taken with a pinch of salt but it does make sense with the green flash. Hopefully it will be confirmed with deleted and extended scenes on the DVD.

I certainly made me happier

More SHREK, Maybe More PIRATES

If Dreamworks was still carrying around the old SKG moniker, the "S" would most definitely now stand for Shrek, not Spielberg.

When Jeffrey Katzenberg left Walt Disney Studios back in 1994, the company was just beginning to catch on to the made-for-video animated "threquel" via its 101 Dalmatians franchise. After his departure, it went on to find more success with this practice with protagonists like Cinderella and the Lion King.

But Katzenberg has now officially moved way past that milestone with this week's confirmation that there will indeed be at least a Shrek 4 and Shrek 5.The head of Dreamworks Animation told Australia's The Age newspaper that families can look forward to a pair of ogre adventures.

"It's a finite story, has been from the beginning, and I think that's part of its integrity, part of its strength that we're not thinking it up as we go," he said of plans to make one of the two future installments a prequel. "Ultimately, we'll come back to understand how Shrek arrived in that swamp. We'll reveal his story."

But it's what Katzenberg said next that is really worth remembering: "the first Shrek saved the company [Dreamworks] financially, and we're here today because of it."

Over on the Pirates side, producer Jerry Bruckheimer – currently busy with a second National Treasure film – isn't so sure what's going to happen with Captain Jack Sparrow. "We've been working on this trilogy for five and a half years, and the latest one was a monster," he explains, hinting in the Los Angeles Times about the Bahamian production toll of the endeavor. "It's always about making sure you have a great story with interesting plots, themes and characters. There is a possibility, but we'll see what happens."

Perhaps Mike Myers can play a role in a future Pirates film, in exchange for Johnny Depp voicing the Shrek films character of a porcupine. Sound like a fair deal, gents?
