Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Glad to see you all are so excited about the movie! Guess not so many Will/Elizabeth fans are here…so what do you think of Penélope Cruz coming onboard as a possible Jack love interest?

You’re right about the director - Rob Marshall (director of Nine and Chicago) came onboard to direct this one, but don’t worry - it’ll still have that same sense of humor and action/adventure that you loved about the first three. :slight_smile:

Here are some Disney Channel Movie Surfers look at the movie if you’d like to take a look:

I’m excited for Cruz boarding the ship, mainly because she’s replacing Elizabeth, and I think she’d be cute with Jack. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think they’ll have a great rapport…Penélope said in this interview that they had a lot of fun while filming so hopefully that’ll translate onto the big screen!

Speaking of, our favorite pirate captain graces the cover of Empire magazine. Any of you read it?

I haven’t read it, but the cover looks amazing!

More news for all of you!

First off, a new image featuring Ian McShane as Blackbeard:

Second of all, for any football (American, that is) fans, a brand new trailer will be appearing during the Super Bowl! So look out for it…and don’t worry, we’ll have it online soon after as well. :wink:

Dude, that looks amazing. I’m liking this Blackbeard character already.

I’ve only seen (well, heard) Ian McShane in one movie, but he has a really cool voice. I can’t wait for this movie!

I would miss the old characters. My favorites were Barbossa and Will. But other than that, I’m excited for the new ones.

^ But Barbossa is in this one!

Really? Oh, sweet! I must have missed him when I saw the trailer. I’ve only seen it once.

Yay! Geoffrey for the win! This movie is really getting me excited. I mean, as much as Cars 2. :open_mouth: holds breath

Barbossa and Sparrow are the real jewels among the Pirates franchise, they were by far the most entertaining pieces in the trilogy… I also loved Elizabeth, her role in Curse of the Black Pearl was fantastic, I was really rooting for a romance between her and Jack.

bryanbmp: I loved Elizabeth in the first one. But once they turned her into a warrior princess character, I started to not like it.

I didn’t like her either way. o_0

Not at all? Okay… that’s cool…

I kind of liked Liz, too, but I really hated how she pulled that trick on Sparrow at the end of the second, and then she suddenly does that about-turn during the finale. There was no build-up (not that I can remember) and I remember feeling cheated. But no hard feelings, Knightley. I would love for you and Bloom to have a cameo return. :slight_smile:

The second and third are really fun, but you have to pay close attention, because their plots take a lot more twists, turns, double-crosses and triple-crosses than the first movie. :slight_smile:

Hopefully. the fourth won’t be as convoluted.

I guess I’d agree with this, TDIT. I liked her fairly well in the first movie. And then, after that, I’ve not been able to tolerate her character. Honestly, she’s the only element of the series I don’t like.

I hope in the fourth Pirates movie has epic swordfights, and something that we’ve never seen before.

^ Like a Jack vs. Jack fight? That’s right!

What? That sounds awesome! I wonder what part Cruz will play. I personally hope she’s not another butt-kicker, but I assume that’s what she is. :frowning:
