 Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley reunite in Walt Disney Pictures', in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, an all new epic tale chronicling the further mis-adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Gore Verbinski from a screenplay written by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio, Captain Jack sets sail on an all new adventure – filled with more intrigue, more spectacular special effects and more comedy – in July 2006.
Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) discovers he owes a blood debt to the legendary Davey Jones, Captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. With time running out, Jack must find a way out of his debt or else be doomed to eternal damnation and servitude in the afterlife. Making matters worse, Sparrow's problems manage to interefere with the wedding plans of a certain Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), who are forced to join Jack on yet another one of his misadventures.
In art, as in life, history has a strange way of turning full circle. The first on-screen image ever to appear in an all live-action Walt Disney Studio feature was none other than a closeup of the skull and crossbones Jolly Roger flag in the classic 1950 version of Robert Louis Stevenson's “Treasure Island.”
Some 53 years later, it took the very same studio's “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” to spectacularly re-invent and reinvigorate a moribund genre which once again is delighting millions. From childhood classics like Treasure Island and Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates, to such classic films as “The Black Pirate,” “The Buccaneer” and “The Crimson Pirate,” the swashbuckling tales of high seas derring-do both nefarious and noble were neverending.
