'''''Pirates of the Caribbean 3''''' is the third part of the trilogy begun by the 2003 film ''Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl'', following the 2006 film ''Dead Man's Chest''. It is directed by Gore Verbinski, and stars Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, Lee Arenberg, Mackenzie Crook and several other actors from the first two films. Disney has announced a release date of May 25, 2007.
There are several rumors as to what the full title of the movie will be. The Internet Movie Database has variously listed it as ''Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End'', ''Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'', and ''Pirates of the Caribbean: Uncharted Waters''.http://uk.news.launch.yahoo.com/dyna/article.html?a=/060627/340/gfffb.html&e=l_news_dm The July 10, 2006, edition of Cynopsis, a TV and movie industry e-mail newsletter, reported that the title is ''Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'' and that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards will have a cameo appearance as Captain Jack Sparrow's father, Captain Grant Sparrow. The title was also referenced in USA Today. Neither reference to the title named a source. The full name of the movie has not yet been announced by Walt Disney Pictures, and an IGN article reports via an anonymous Disney representative that ''At World's End'' is not the title for the third film and that the true title will be revealed in the coming months. UltimateDisney.com lists the film's subtitle as "At World's End", though. http://ultimatedisney.com/intheaters.html#potc3
Plot
It is expected that the next film will involve Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann joining forces with their old enemy, Barbossa, to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow and Bootstrap Bill Turner and defeat the alliance between Davy Jones, Cutler Beckett, and new villain Sao Feng who supposedly captures Elizabeth.The first fifty-seven pages of an early draft of the script have leaked online. Co-writer Ted Elliot confirmed on the website KeepToTheCode.com that this is a portion of an extremely early "budget draft" of the script, and while some of the broad strokes of the story are consistent with the final version, specific events and dialogue are very rough when compared with the final film, and these pages do not reflect the final film's writing or quality. This early, rough version of the script shows Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and Barbossa traveling to the Orient and confronting Captain Sao Feng in search of charts that lead to "World's End". Feng is captain of the red-sailed pirate ship ''Empress'', and hosts a mysterious "dragon lady" onboard his ship. Another element of the ride is represented in this version of the script, when Will, Barbossa and their crew sails their ship; an oriental junk named ''Hai Peng''; off the "end of the world" a huge, straight drop in the middle of the ocean, mimicking the large drops found on the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park attraction. Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl are found in Davy Jones' Locker, a kind of purgatory made up of nothing but sand and strange crabs with swords. Will is intent on retrieving the Black Pearl as it is the only ship with the speed necessary to overtake the Flying Dutchman and therefore rescue his father Bootstrap Bill Turner. This version of the script shows that Admiral James Norrington has Davy Jones and his crew at his command, having captured his heart in the second film.
Although on FilmFocus Naomie Harris revealed that Tia Dalma has something to do with Jack's rebirth, she has also revealed some facts that lead into believing that she is possibly the sea nymph Calypso. Johnny Depp revealed that Barbossa would be giving his life for Jack Sparrow when the Kraken attacks a ship that they are on (not the Pearl). Also Depp said that he wants to keep playing Jack Sparrow for possibly a fourth movie. As he says ". . .of course, why not!" Bill Nighy has explained that Jones will be a lot more sinister and the statement that Nighy said about the Locker being the underwater canyon is what he said it was originaly to look like. In some production photos and other interviews Davy Jones Locker is assumed to be this large rock like island, with black sand, and peaks similar to that of Skull Island, though not as big and no jungles. There are also waterways leading into the island, though it is sea water, not jungle water like on Skull Island. Jack Sparrow is said to be near the center of the island, dead, onboard the Pearl. Recently it has been revealed that the alliance will only be between Sao Feng and Cutler Beckett, not Jones, This is observed as how in the second movie Beckett reveals some of the facts saying how he wants the heart to control the seas. Near three quaters of the way into the movie Beckett attempts to use Jones, by confronting him, though he is killed and the heart is taken once again by it's owner. This was revealed by Tom Hollander on FilmFocus.
Most likley Beckett will offer Feng the chance to help him clear the seas and track down Jones. It is most likley that Feng will be killed when he and the crew of the Empress attempt to attack the Flying Dutchman. For half the movie, after realizing that Jack is alive, Jones will pursue him in belief that he has the heart. Others say that there will be no alliance, seeing how the age of piracy is coming to an end. More of this matter will be discussed when more of the movie plot is revealed. It is rumoured that Will and Elizabeth will be married at the end of the film.
A recent article in Empire magazine revealed a visit to the Singapore set which features in part of the movie. According to another article in ''Entertainment Weekly'', director Gore Verbinski, revealed a basic plot: "Piracy itself is at stake. It's like the railroad coming to the West". Verbinski continues on to state that within the film there will be: "a conference of the world's pirate leaders and a treacherous journey to the literal ends of the earth". After that there is a massive fight scene were Jack fends off hundreds of sea horses.A Peek At 'Pirates III', ''Entertainment Weekly'', July 14, 2006
Production
Parts of the film were shot during the location filming of ''Dead Man's Chest'', with some principal photography in April 2005. Production of ''Dead Man's Chest'' ended on March 2006. Filming of the third film commenced once again on August 3rd 2006 and is due to carry on until late 2006/early 2007. It was reported on the 9th of August that some scenes were filmed with Johnny Depp at the Utah Salt Flats. It is unknown how the Salt Flats will fit into the film, but the publicists for the movie said the bright-white desert landscape of the Salt Flats was a perfect location for what they needed.http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=412952References
