Pirates Of The Caribbean 3, At World's End Options

[loveylovely]

The part in the movie with the monkey shivering made me laugh for ten minutes straight.

I think the movie as a whole was really confusing. I really didn't get the end at all.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ The monkey at that part was way cuuute.

Keith richards was pretty great, on that guitar and all. hahaha

I still think Barbossa > everyone else, though.

as for the pirates of the caribbean,
the first one was so much better then the second..
hope to see the third soo! hopeing its good.

[SarahxJoy]

Shooting the monkey out of the cannon made the movie. That, and Keith Richards playing guitar.

Haha, that Keith Richards scene made the whole movie for my dad.

Isn't the monkey's name Jack? He's pretty flippin' awesome. x]

[*Azarel*]

Yup. He's adorable~

[*stephinika*]

That monkey honestly kept me sooo entertained. And Keith Richards.

[*steve330*]

According to castmate Bill Nighy, Richards was so drunk on the set that director Gore Verbinski had to hold his shins steady while he filmed his scenes.

^In accordance w/ Wikipedia

^^
I think I heard about that at some point.

But anyways, just to pitch in my opinion, I didn't mind the end. I like how it ended in such a way as it could end or be continued...I just hope that if they really do continue it, that its actually a really good story.

[*steve330*]

Basically it leads to a

"Do we want to make even MORE money, or do we wanna bask in the cash we got right now?"

[*Azarel*]

I would once again prefer that they not continue the series. With word that Keira Knightley wouldn't take role in a fourth movie (albeit unconfirmed) and the fact that Orlando Bloom's character is now MIA for ten years at a time, I don't they could pull another stunner POTC film.

Also, I'd like to add (and I wasn't even a fan of his until this installment).

[*digitalfragrance*]

I heard that there was a scene that was cut out about the Dutchman curse - that if your lover remains faithful during those ten years that you can return to land forever.

Dang that would've made me feel better.

And I would've felt better if I actually stayed for the post-credit scene.

interesting. that would of been made the ending less meaningful though. i liked the ending not being on a good note.

but that whole thing being faithful and returning to land doesnt make sense. what does love have to do anything with being captain of the flying dutchman?? correct me if im wrong.

but that would be awesome if they fourth movie turned out like calipso and elizabeth cheated on will and everybody turned evil. that would make for an awesome movie.

[SarahxJoy]

True, but I think it'd disappoint a lot of the Elizabeth & Will Foreva and Eva fans. Like myself.

But yeah. My dad and I thought it was kinda' funny how Calypso turned into a bunch of crabs and all that. My dad was like, "Ooh, not just a show, but dinner too!" (Corny, yes, but..haha.)

[*Insurmountable*]

I heard it was a waste of 3 hours

I suppose I may go see it though once I decide to watch the second one.

[Relentless]

I watched it!! I'm so happy.

I watched it at 12:30pm and it was amazingly awesome.

I loved it and o m g. KEIRA KNIGHTLEY IS SO HOTT. I love her.

[*Azarel*]

I heard it was a waste of 3 hours

It kind of was, but I went to watch it in theatres out of self-imposed tradition (I watched the first two in theatres). Don't hold your breath, and I suggest just waiting for it to come out on DVD.

[MeanBastard]

Tentacle Sex?
Not making me want to watch POTC3

EDIT : Damn, the pictures gone. It's the one where Davy Jones sticks his... beard in someone...

lol those were nasty. i saw it on another site. keira's tits were huger than life and she looks weird.

[*Azarel*]

Since the first Pirates, they've always airbrushed Keira Knightley's cleavage in.

[clarity]

People told me it sucked, and not to see it.

le sigh.

[SarahxJoy]

I suggest that you see it for yourself. 'Cause it seems like either people LOVE it or really don't think it was that good.

I, for one, loved it.

[alysaphobia]

^Same!

Some of my friends thought it was a waste of 3 hours, yadi yadi yah, but I thought it was amazing. I want to go see it again!!!!

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I heard it was a waste of 3 hours

I didn't think so. I went and saw it twice.

I never trust anyone's judgement on movies, 'cause I usually end up liking the ones that most hate.
Everyone has a different taste in movies, so just go see it for yourself.
if you want, that is. And if not, I guess you could just wait and rent it or something.

[*stephinika*]

^^
Exaaactly.

I just gotta say though...I can't wait until its out on DVD...then...Pirates marathon! Hahaha

PIRATES 4 is confirmed. lol

4th 'Pirates' film already on horizon
Like fellow blockbusters 'Spider-Man' and 'Shrek,' the salty series has entered the era of the unlimited sequel.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" hardly marks an end.

With the latest in Walt Disney Co.'s lucrative series reaping an unprecedented $401 million globally in its debut through the Memorial Day weekend, the question of whether there will be a fourth installment has effectively been answered.

Sure, producer Jerry Bruckheimer is coy, saying he and his mates need a break. But he already has rights to a book that could end up as another installment.

Star Johnny Depp? He hasn't promised another voyage, but he clearly loves the flamboyant, irreverent Jack Sparrow character, telling one interviewer: "As long as you're doing it for the right reasons, why not?"

In today's Hollywood, blockbuster franchises function almost as independent corporations that, once up and running, can't easily be mothballed. Which is why another "Pirates" is pretty much a given.

"When these franchises become part of the world's culture, they take on a life of their own," said Dick Cook, Disney's studio chairman, who says he's on board for another "Pirates" if the script is right and the filmmakers are willing.

Enter the era of the unlimited sequel. DreamWorks Animation SKG began developing a fourth "Shrek" film more than a year ago — long before "Shrek the Third" was even finished, said Anne Globe, the Glendale studio's head of marketing. The next installment is slated for 2010.

A fourth installment of "Spider-Man" — the third one just debuted May 4 — has been in the works for more than a month, with the studio circling screenwriters it may tap.

"If you want the kind of longevity we're hoping for with 'Spider-Man,' you have to think of them as stand-alone movies, not '1-2-3-4,' " said Amy Pascal, Sony Pictures' studio chairman. "They're sort of like the James Bond stories."

One reason the big franchise machines keep operating is the special effects-laden movies have become ever bigger and more costly — making and marketing May's three megasequels cost more than $1 billion altogether — and they require elaborate planning. Studios also need long lead times to line up marketing alliances.

Disney worked with 13 promotional partners to help spread the word on "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," including Volvo, Verizon, Coca-Cola, Circuit City, Best Buy, Toys R Us and Starwood Hotels. Even the obscure, Tampa-based Odyssey Marine Exploration — which recently made headlines when it reported recovering 17 tons of treasure from a shipwreck in the Atlantic — signed on.

Nonetheless, the sheer size of the summer blockbusters can drain filmmakers. Bruckheimer said there would at least be a respite after the production of back-to-back sequels to the 2003 original "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."

"We've been working on this trilogy for 5½ years, and the latest one was just a monster," he said in an interview from Tokyo for last week's premiere. "It's always about making sure you have a great story with interesting plots, themes and characters. There is a possibility — we'll see what happens."

Though Bruckheimer and Disney executives say the "Pirates" trilogy has concluded, they hint that the series could continue through a spinoff or prequel. In an interview with an Australian film website, screenwriter Terry Rossio said he and partner Ted Elliott would take a crack at another "Pirates" script and see if they could make it work.

Big franchises also take on a life of their own by reaching beyond the multiplex into TV, stage and theme parks. DreamWorks Animation is wrapping up a network special, "Shrek the Halls," for this holiday season, and the big green ogre is headed for the Broadway stage in a 2008 musical.

The franchise sequels can pay off not just for studios but for the entire industry. For the first time, Hollywood could be en route to more than $4 billion in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales for its extended summer season, thanks largely to momentum from this month's trio of high-profile "three-quels."

"Spider-Man 3" reset the opening weekend standard with its $151-million domestic launch early this month, while "Pirates" this past weekend broke the domestic holiday record with $142 million, according to the research firm Media by Numbers. "Shrek the Third" set a new mark this month for animated films by debuting at $122 million.

On a worldwide basis, Disney says its "Pirates" overtook "Spider-Man 3's" $382-million six-day haul — a 3-week-old record. Privately, Sony executives questioned Disney's decision to include Monday's overseas grosses, as well as Thursday night's "pre-opening" sales in the U.S., in the total.

In generating the huge box-office numbers this month, studios overcame concerns about the kind of sequel fatigue that in the past plagued such franchises as "Batman" and "Superman" before they were revived.

Using pricey marketing campaigns, Hollywood sought to convince prospective moviegoers that the latest versions of "Spider-Man," "Shrek" and "Pirates" weren't just retreads. Reviews were mixed, but fans still went in droves to see all three.

In Southern California, moviegoers interviewed were divided on the prospect of a fourth "Pirates" after watching the latest chapter, which clocked in at nearly three hours.

Elizabeth Lopez, 24, of Long Beach, suspected the latest "Pirates" might disappoint as the third film in the series.

"But it actually was very good," she said. "Yes, I'm hoping they make another one because of the way it ended."

But Richard Kirk, 69, of Bellflower, has seen enough.

"It just gets rather complicated, especially the first part of it," he said. "I really think they should leave it at three."

basically they were disappointed because they made less in the box office than last year and the year before that. So they are doing another to make up for that 40+ million they didnt make. wow.

its not sure if it is a prequel or sequel
