Encyclopedia
Pirates of the Caribbean is a series of fantasy
-adventure
films directed by Gore Verbinski
(1–3) and Rob Marshall
(4), written by Ted Elliott
and Terry Rossio
and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer
. All four films are based on a Walt Disney
theme park ride of the same name, and follow the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp
), Will Turner
(Orlando Bloom
), Elizabeth Swann
(Keira Knightley
), Captain Hector Barbossa
(Geoffrey Rush
), Joshamee Gibbs
(Kevin McNally
), Davy Jones
(Bill Nighy
), Angelica
(Penélope Cruz
), Blackbeard (Ian McShane
), Philip Swift (Sam Claflin
) and the mermaid Syrena (Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey
).
The films started with their first release on the big screen in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
. After the success of the first film, Walt Disney Pictures
revealed that a trilogy was in the works. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
was released three years later in 2006. The sequel proved successful, breaking records worldwide the day of its premiere. In the end, it earned $1,066,179,725 at the worldwide box office, becoming the fourth and fastest film (at the time) to reach this amount. The third film in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, was released in 2007. In September 2008, Depp signed on for a fourth film in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
, released on May 20, 2011 in conventional 2D, IMAX
, Disney Digital 3-D
and IMAX 3D. It succeeded in grossing more than $1 billion, becoming the eighth and fourth-fastest film to achieve this. So far, the film franchise has grossed $3.72 billion worldwide and it is the only franchise with two films that reached $1 billion worldwide. It has been confirmed that two more installments to the franchise are included in Disney's future plans. In July 2011, Johnny Depp confirmed he was closing in on a deal for a fifth installment and that the franchise wouldn't be going ahead without Depp's participation.
Although it has never been officially confirmed, there is strong evidence to suggest that the series was influenced by, and perhaps loosely based upon, the Monkey Island series of video games. Ted Elliott
, one of the two screenwriters of the first four Pirates of the Caribbean films, was allegedly the writer of a Steven Spielberg
-produced animated film adaptation of Monkey Island entitled The Curse of Monkey Island (presumably based on the game of the same name
), which was cancelled before its official announcement, three years prior to the release of The Curse of the Black Pearl. This film was allegedly in production at Industrial Light & Magic before being cancelled.
Ron Gilbert
, the creator of the Monkey Island series, has jokingly expressed a bitterness towards the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise for its similarities to Monkey Island. Gilbert has also stated that On Stranger Tides
, a novel by Tim Powers
which was adapted into the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film
, was the principal source of inspiration for his video games.
and Terry Rossio
conceived of writing a film based on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Disney had Jay Wolpert
write a script based on the ride, which producer Jerry Bruckheimer
rejected, feeling it was "a straight pirate movie". Stuart Beattie
was brought in to rewrite the script in March 2002, due to his knowledge of piracy
, and later that month Elliott and Rossio were brought in. Elliott and Rossio, inspired by the opening narration of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme-park ride, decided to give the film a supernatural edge. As the budget rose, Michael Eisner
and Robert Iger threatened to cancel the film, though Bruckheimer changed their minds when he showed them concept art and animatics.
In May 2002 Gore Verbinski
signed on to direct Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
, and Johnny Depp
and Geoffrey Rush
signed on the following month to star. Verbinski was attracted to the idea of using modern technology to resurrect a genre that had disappeared after the Golden Age of Hollywood, and recalled his childhood memories of the ride, feeling the film was an opportunity to pay tribute to the "scary and funny" tone of it. Depp was attracted to the story as he found it quirky: rather than trying to find treasure, the crew of the Black Pearl were trying to return it in order to lift their curse; also, the traditional mutiny had already taken place. Verbinski approached Rush for the role of Barbossa, as he knew he would not play it with attempts at complexity, but with a simple villainy that would suit the story's tone. Orlando Bloom
read the script after Rush, whom he was working with on Ned Kelly
, suggested it to him. Keira Knightley
came as a surprise to Verbinski: he had not seen her performance in Bend It Like Beckham
and was impressed by her audition. Tom Wilkinson
was negotiated with to play Governor Swann, but the role went to Jonathan Pryce
, whom Depp idolized.
Shooting for The Curse of the Black Pearl began on October 9, 2002 and wrapped by March 7, 2003. Before its release, many had expected the film to flop, as the pirate genre had not been successful for years, the film was based on a theme-park ride, and Depp rarely made a big film. However, The Curse of the Black Pearl became both a critical and commercial success.
series, and so had to retroactively turn The Curse of the Black Pearl into the first of a trilogy. They wanted to explore the reality of what would happen after Will Turner
and Elizabeth Swann
's embrace at the end of the first film, and initially considered the Fountain of Youth
as the plot device. They settled on introducing Davy Jones
, the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken, a mythology mentioned twice in the first film. They introduced the historical East India Trading Company, which for them represented a counterpoint to the themes of personal freedom represented by pirates.
Filming for the sequels began on February 28, 2005, 8:30 AM, with Dead Man's Chest
finishing on March 1, 2006, and At World's End on January 10, 2007.
' novel On Stranger Tides
, which Rossio and Elliot discovered during production of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End and decided to use as the basis for a fourth movie. As Gore Verbinski was unavailable, Bruckheimer invited Rob Marshall
to direct the film. Elliott and Rossio decided to do a standalone film, with a story that would support new characters, and incorporate elements from the novel, such as Blackbeard
, the Fountain of Youth and mermaids - the latter two having been already alluded in the previous films. Depp, Rush, Greg Ellis
and Kevin McNally
returned to their roles, and the cast saw the additions of Ian McShane
as Blackbeard and Penélope Cruz
as Angelica, Blackbeard's daughter and Jack Sparrow's love interest. After the costly production of two simultaneous films, Disney tried to scale down the fourth installment, giving a lower budget, which led to cheaper locations and fewer scenes with special effects. It was also filmed in 3D, with cameras similar to the ones used in Avatar.
Filming for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
began June 15, 2010 and ended on November 19, 2010. It was released in the United States on May 20, 2011.
will write the screenplay for the fifth installment, without his co-writer Ted Elliott
. Johnny Depp
said that he would be happy to return as Captain Jack Sparrow saying "As long as we can put all the puzzle pieces together, I would most definitely consider it". Jerry Bruckheimer said that the fifth film would be a stand-alone film. According to Terry Rossio, the script for the fifth film is finished, and he has handed the script to Disney executives. Speaking at the fourth film's press launch in Cannes, Depp said he would play the role for as long as it is popular with the public.
Disney has a wishlist of directors they would like to direct, as Rob Marshall has not yet accepted or declined to direct. The list includes Tim Burton
, Sam Raimi
, Alfonso Cuaron
, Shawn Levy
, Chris Weitz
, and original Pirates director Gore Verbinski. Verbinski and Burton are Disney's top choices as they have both worked with Disney and Johnny Depp on numerous occasions. On July 6, 2011, Johnny Depp confirmed on a deal for the fifth film. Orlando Bloom said he would like to return for a fifth film if he was offered.
In October 2011, Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that they are working a script. In an interview, Kevin McNally
stated that a summer 2012 production start was possible. Because of the financial success of On Stranger Tides, the film's director Rob Marshall
may return to direct. Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is expected to be released to theaters in the summer of 2013.
, Elizabeth Swann
, daughter of the city Governor, is kidnapped. The pirates, led by Captain Hector Barbossa
, are attempting to lift a curse placed upon them after they stole a chest of Aztec
gold. Blacksmith Will Turner
, a childhood friend and secret admirer of Elizabeth, persuades pirate Captain Jack Sparrow to help him find and rescue her.
, a powerful and ruthless East India Trading Co. agent, arrests Will and Elizabeth for aiding Jack Sparrow's escape in the previous film. Beckett, however, offers clemency if Will agrees to search for Sparrow and his magical compass. At the same time, Sparrow tries to release himself from an old debt with villainous Davy Jones
by finding the Dead Man's Chest
which he can use to command Jones to do his bidding.
and crosses paths with a former lover, Angelica. She forces Jack aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge
, a ship captained by the infamous pirate Blackbeard
, Angelica's father. Both are also in search for the Fountain; Angelica to save her father's soul, the Spanish to destroy the fountain believing that the powers are an abomination against God, and Blackbeard to escape a prophecy of his fatal demise by a one legged man. Former pirate captain Barbossa, now a privateer in King George II's Navy, is in search of the fountain with Britain, and to exact revenge against Blackbeard for having sunk the Black Pearl and losing his right leg.
Curse of the Black Pearl was 2003's third highest gross in North America (behind The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
and Finding Nemo
) and fourth worldwide (behind Return of the King, Finding Nemo and The Matrix Reloaded
). Dead Man's Chest was the most successful film of 2006,
and At World's End led the worldwide grosses in 2007, though being only fourth in North America (behind Spider-Man 3
, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
and Shrek the Third
). On Stranger Tides is the third highest-grossing film of 2011 (behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II and Transformers: Dark of the Moon) worldwide and the eighth highest of all time. All of the sequels broke box office records upon release.
The first three films have been released on DVD. All three have been released on a 2-disc special edition and a single disc edition. The Curse of the Black Pearl has a 3-disc edition called The Lost Disc filled with more special features than the single disc and 2-disc release. A boxed set containing the first three films was released in 2007 featuring the single disc editions of the films. The films have all been released on Blu-ray.
The fourth film On Stranger Tides will be released on September 12, 2011 in the UK and October 18, 2011 in the United States. There will be a DVD, Blu-ray, 3D and digital copy combo release along with a single disc edition and a Blu-ray, DVD double combo.
A new box set containing all four films will be released alongside On Stranger Tides, which will be in the shape of Dead Man's Chest.
