MovieImp Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 From OBM/Kiki: July 21, 2005 POTC: DMC at Comic Con report posted by Jas, 07/21/05 Kiki sent in her report on the POTC: Dead Man's Chest behind the scene footage that was shown at the Comic Con. Thanks Kiki. Spoilers ahead! It starts off with a black screen and then you hear the familiar music from POTC. There's a voice over from none other than Capt Barbossa. I can't remember the exact lines, but it was definitely new dialogue that will most likely be in the film. There's bits of Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer talking about how this one is different, darker and how Jack must pay a debt to Davey Jones. There's shots of Capt. Jack walking around a town, running from something or someone and engaged in some swordplay with a few bad guys. A shot of Will's father. Saw pirates Ragetti and Pintel. There was some of Keira practicing with 2, yes 2 swords. Also a bit of her in her wedding gown looking upset (crying perhaps) and it was raining. A composite drawning was shown of Davey Jones and one of the free goodies was a lithograph of him.I got a couple or 3. Hee Hee! Now for Will Turner! There was another composite drawing shown of Will fighting the Kraken which was huge! You can compare it to a dog standing next to an elephant, but that Kraken was really big. And then Will was shown engaged in battle with a couple of baddies (pirates I'd say since you couldn't see them just their swords and arms but Orlando was definitely the main focus of the brief bit. He was wearing the leather outfit from the GMA breakfast interview thing he and Keira did. Damn, he looked good.just not enough of him. Gotta wait till they kick off the POTC 2 promos. POTC 2 comes out on 7/9/06 and POTC 3 is tentatively shceduled for 7/7/07. Filming resumes in August, like the first or second week. Not much, but it's something. Oh yeah, people were cheering, we females were squeeing and everyone in Hall H seemed to really be looking forward to both movies. I think that's all.

MovieImp Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Here was the other one from Wednesday: SPOILER BIG TIME Today's Hollywood Reporter in an article about Comic-Con: Attendees packed the house to watch new behind-the-scenes material for "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," introduced on tape by producer Jerry Bruckheimer. "It's not about treasure," he said. "It's about Jack Sparrow's death with Davey Jones." A second sequel, "Pirates 3," starts filming in the fall, he said. A friend of mine saw it and this is what she could remember: There were clips with bits of Jerry Bruckheimer speaking, artist concepts, and still shots. Jerry said everyone would be back and they showed the Govenor, Elizabeth, Will and Jack. I asked if she saw Norrington, but she did not remember. She said they showed the Kraken which is like a big squid or octopuss. She said Jerry said there would be two ships this time the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman. She said they showed Jack captured by cannibals, and they showed him sitting "just like Jack" on a throne with a leg thrown over the arm. She said the funniest clip was of Jack supposedly (in pure Jack style) crossing an open field and trying to be sneaky - stopping and looking over his shoulder, and that made everyone laugh. She said the monsters this time are not just like skeletal pirates, they look more like barnacle-encrusted sailors who are very white with like seaweed and 'stuff' and she thinks Bootstrap Bill may be one of them since something was deformed about one side of his face. I suggested these 'monsters' were the dead sailors who serve Davy Jones and she said that made sense. She said they were very whiteish looking. Jerry also comented on "Jack's chest," or "the chest" which was shown as a big closed chest. She said there was a clip of Will either at the wheel or beside the wheel of a ship. There was a glimpse of a ship in a misty dark lagoon. A clip of a man on horseback riding in a longboat (on the horse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Oh Lordy. How am I ever going to be able to survive until next July? The wait is killing me right now. Sounds like this movie is going to be just as good if not better than the first. I wonder how Barbosa fits into it all. :oh: That Kraken scene sounds amazing and to see Will's transformation is going to be a big highlight. Good to hear that MacKenzie (Pintel) and Lee (Ragetti) are also back. :pirate2: I loved them in the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMom Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 That sounded great to watch. Thanks, Julia. I'm really looking forward to these movies. I try not to look at the counter because it just seems way too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iris426 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Green leather, knee-high boots, swords, fighting Krackens and the like. Too much for me, WAY too much. I'm putting in my oxygen tank requests now for both October and July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDragon Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Thanks for the reports!! It sounds great, and I'm already getting too excited for this movie. I can't wait until next summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lianna Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 There seems to have been a screening in Burbank. Someone has posted a review here (which I am not copying because it includes spoilers): http://www.moviehole.net/news/20060601_rea.s_of_the_c.html The reviewer liked a lot about the film but was displeased with one aspect of it. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide. «The reviewer liked all three of the main characters and Davy Jones but did not like the ending. I have read elsewhere that the ending is a cliffhanger that sets up the third movie. It seems likely that the reviewer either did not understand this or does not like cliffhangers.

Jan Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I'm going to make sure people know this entire thread contains spoilers, so we don't have to continually use tags. I read that review yesterday, and gave it little credence, but my reaction is based on past experience: I remember back in the day when The Empire Strikes Back came out - one complaint (which seems to have amazingly evaporated over time) was the fact that it was the middle of a trilogy, and therefore left you 'up in the air' before Return of the Jedi hit theatres. Without knowing what actually happens, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the issue. (At least it will be only a one-year wait vs. a 3-year one. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabelle Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Thanks for the link, Lianna. I love to read advance reviews, stories/articles on my anticipated up-coming movies. It doesn't spoil it for me in the least. This review was a good one, a very good one, except for the comments about The Matrix, etc., and the fact that the ending might be something of a cliff-hanger. Well, I, for one, really like cliff-hangers, as long as I know there is another movie coming (in a year) that will pick up where the last one left off. What I don't like are movies with ambiguous endings, where you are supposed to imagine your own ending. To me, that seems like the coward's way out -- like the writer was too timid to make a decision on how the movie would end. Cliff-hangers are not like that -- they just make you pant to get to see the next episode. And that's the idea, isn't it. To sell tickets for the next POTC ! The first POTC ended, not with a cliff-hanger exactly, but you knew that there would be a search for Capt. Jack at some point -- Norrington said "they would give him a one-day head start -- how far could he go?" or something like that. Indefinite perhaps, but still hinting of the next movie. Now with two films shot at once, why wouldn't they guarantee interest in the third movie, by making you want to find out what happens to whomever it is that is "on the cliff" ! Just my two cents. Bring 'em on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mechev Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 The comment that says that this sequels are going to be as bad as Matrix sequels was kind of bad, but for the rest he talked kind of well about the movie and the characters, and as you mentioned this movie is in the middle of the story and since the writers would want people interested in watching the third movie is obvious that the ending would be a cliffhanger, and I’m suspecting it is going to be a tremendous one, not what every one would like. This is also a report from a screening, so I guess that if the producers or writers see something bad they will edit it a little more, add something or take others. It is too soon to tell, but then again this kind of people that writes this reviews always love to write in advance about big failures. Thanks for this article Lianna .

Jan Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Jas is reporting today that she's been informed that the 'fan review' at Moviehole was a fabrication. No screening, hence no review could have been written. That toad should walk the plank. :bat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mechev Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Really?? This was a a fake review? This means that someone made up this story about an screening of this movie, and actually had the imagination to do a report about an story plot that he never watched. Wuauu some people should be writers of fiction stories more than intended reviewers, this is kind of funny. Thank you for that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeySailor Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Maybe not a fake after all. I received an email from Clint at MovieHole. He removed the review at Disney's 'request.' It must have been insider info - perhaps someone working on post-production, special effects, editing, tinting, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Jen, our contact at Disney, is the one who said it was a fake. I don't know about you, but I trust her word. She WORKS for Disney. The 'fan' who sent in the review could be just about anyone. I did the math. If it was an 'insider', they most likely have some kind of an ax to grind - and what better way than putting out a lukewarm, even bad, review on the internet? When NO other 'reviews' have appeared, anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeySailor Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 :bat: Haven't the negativists figured out yet that Ka-Bloomies laugh a mightly "HA" when presented with a less than flattering review - and then we all go see the film anyway - and more than once? If the only negative comment by this bilgerat mentioned was that he didn't like the ending (DOH! there is a POTC3 in the pipeline, moron), that won't slow us down a bit.

Cayenne Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Well, he liked the movie up until the ending, so I will take it as a very positive review. Does he not know that they are setting up for a third one? Has he been living under a rock? It kinda reminds me of something a co-worker said after they watched FOTR. They were angry that they left the ending up in the air. He wanted to know what happened to Frodo. What happened to Merry and Pippin, etc. He actually didn't know that it was the first film of a trilogy. I forget, sometimes, that some people in the world aren't as atuned as we are to what is hppening in the world of films. Orlando's films anyway.

Welshwoman Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I read the reviews and take the unfavorable ones with a very large grain of salt. As long as Orlando's in it, I'll see it. The only thing I have to ponder is how many times. WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) Another review. From slashfilm.com. When I was a kid, they ran Disneyland differently. One price didn’t get you unlimited use of all the rides. You had to buy a ticket book, and the tickets went from A through E. The A tickets were for the less exciting attractions, like Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Main Street Horse Cars. E tickets were for the best rides, like the Haunted Mansion and the Pirates of the Caribbean. The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is an E ticket ride. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is back in the second installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. This time Jack owes his soul to Davey Jones (Bill Nighy), the Captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. To avoid eternal damnation and servitude in the afterlife, Jack must find the key to the chest that holds Jones' heart. Once again Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) get swept up in the adventure. The saga of Will and connection to his father “Bootstrap” Bill Turner is further developed, but otherwise Will and Elizabeth are the least necessary characters in this swashbuckler. It doesn’t help that they’re played by actors as bland as Bloom and Knightley. Fortunately, Captain Jack Sparrow has enough personality for all three. Real pirates were thieves, murderers and rapists, but Captain Sparrow is a charming combination a Keith Richards and Captain Morgan who is as skilled with a one-liner as he is with a cutlass. And it just keeps getting better. The ghostly pirates of Captain Barbossa are topped by Davey Jones and his crew. These lost sailors are half human, half-sea creature, and imagineered for maximum entertainment. Add a Cannibal Island, a pinch of voodoo, and a Kraken that blows away the giant squid from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and you have a movie so fantastic that Walt must be nodding his frozen head in approval. This is the Raiders of the Lost Ark of this decade, a joyful collection of carefully-crafted cliches so epic I wonder what they could have possibly saved for Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End. I also wonder how Disney managed to ruin The Haunted Mansion. NOTE: Before people get their panties in a twist - read my post below. ~ Jan EDIT: Oops! So sorry, people. Thanks for catching that, Jan.

Annabelle Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Are we all forgetting that the first POTC met with some critical or dismissive reviews.and look what happended to that movie. As long as fans of all ages enjoy wholesome adventure, fun, danger and heroics, then POTC2 will be very well received indeed this summer. Moviegoers showed that they loved Captain Jack, and we know how much Orlando fans love Will Turner. So what's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
