Hello hello to all, this is my first post here, and I would like to start off with a bang. I have read the entire pirates 3 script. Thats right.


I am only in high school and we recently had carrer day at our school and my friend(james gianeschi, not sure if thats spelled right), his dad came and what do you know? he is the props manager for pirates of the caribbean and he handed out copies of the script!!!! I will tell you right now, i don't know what it will look like, but it looked great on paper alone, so just picture what the movie will be like!

then why you smiling??? ;p

I smell Bull Shit! *sniff* *sniff* and it's coming from this thread

SERIOUSLY dude you REALLY expect us to believe that Disney have given the ending to their BIGGEST franchise on the planet to a bunch of school kids who can easily go and spread the word on the Internet???...BULL mate! Disney aren't stupid enough to ruin their most successful franchise.... If people know the ending..who will go and watch the movie ay? It could potentially ruin their ticket sales if they gave the script away

they HAVE aparently given the first few pages away to a competition winner but THATS IT..and that might even be a dud..They sometimes release fake info to keep the public interested and excited until the next movie comes out..

ohh

yeh i agree wif LovelyOne i also found da *supposed* 1st 56 pages 2 pirates of da caribbean 3 at world's end on da net i think it waz a fake 2 but it waz heaps of fun 2 read n i still lyk fake scripts as long as they r still exciting n keep me interested i wish piratebrain42 would still answer wat happened in da script they got *yells out 2 nowhere "koooooooooeeeeeeeeee echo echo PIRATEBRAIN42 U OUT THERE ............... ANYWHERE?" pulls wierd face* lol i'm such an idiot

i heard, some people found the scipt in the net, but i don't belive, that they would given it out in school. perhaps the first 5 pages, but not more.

yeh i found it on da net alright but like u said i don't believe its true but maybe the trailor script is true it fits in with some of the pictures i found on the net these pics were of johnny and geoffry on set filming they looked pretty real so yeah i think the trailor script is true

lets just all send pm's to piratebrain42 demanding answers! yeah!

ya i really wanna no even if it was fake it could happen

He was last logged on the 16th.

holy freakin crap! i cant like go a day!

If that were true you would be getting him fired if it was found out. It's not true however. You did not get a script sorry to say. No property master or even assistant with the experience Michael Gianneschi has would make that mistake.

I actually read on a trusted website that the 56-page script on the internet was actually confirmed by Ted Elliott, one of the writers, that it actually is the first 56 pages of one of the very early drafts.

(However, I don't believe for a second that this guy read the whole script.)

Yeahi dont either...especially since he hasnt come bak on here ans adi anythingelse about it

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 6INT. PLATFORM HUT - NIGHTWill and Sao Feng stand. But a weird thing - - they don't continue the fight.

(eyes a window) Shall we?Will smiles, the two of them race toward the window on the other side of the shack - -EXT.

BARBOSSAShe's a strong spirit. She’ll take us to the edge of the world! Or perhaps you' DAVY JONESrather stay here? SOLDIERS appear; they are crashed along the docks, leap onto the ship - - a narrow escape from Singapore!EXT. HAI PENG - DECK - NIGHTWill looks back - - CHINESE SAILORS line the docks, there are dozens of ships nearby, but none of them pursue.ELIZABETHWhy aren't we being followed?TIA DALMAThere is something on the seas that even the most staunch and bloodthirsty pirates have come to fearINT. BECKETT'S OFFICE - DAYSwann and Beckett at the desk, working through a sheaf of documents. Swann signs his name under Beckett's supervision, Beckett affixes a seal to each in turn.Swann pauses as he leafs through a new stack.SWANNAttack authorizations? I thought pirate activity was at an ebb.BECKETTThey're lying low for the moment. But the Brethren will gather soon enough, and then one final strike - -SWANNA Portuguese merchant vessel? This one is for ships of the French Royal Navy! You intend for the Flying Dutchman to wage war on other nations?BECKETTOur efforts simply secure the sea lanes for British commerce. What serves the Company, serves England. (taps the documents) Governor?Swann hesitates then signs. He hates it.Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 8SWANNIf I didn't need the Company's help to find my daughter, I would report you to the King.BECKETTA fine illustration of the principle that rational self-interest yields mutual benefit.Swann's angry pressure on the quill causes it to SNAP.Beckett already has another one waiting.EXT. DOCKS - DAYSwann strides along the dock. A large steam engine has been installed. It starts with a DEAFENING ROAR, starting Swann. He takes some anger out on it with his cane.Norrington catches his arm. They must SHOUT over the noise.NORRINGTONGovernor!SWANNWhat is this thing?NORRINGTONProgress! The world is changing!SWANNWhat?NORRINGTONThe world! Changing! For the - -The engine shudders to an unintended and broken-sounded halt. Quiet now, no shouting necessary.NORRINGTON (CONT'D)For the better.SWANNHow can you look at that and call the world better?He gestures past Norrington - -- - To where the Flying Dutchman lay at anchor, an abomination in broad day light. Encrusted sailors loading the bay.Norrington has no answer.SWANN (CONT'D)Though it may have been flawed in action, there was once a belief that it was beneficial and correct to consider the welfare of others!Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 9Norrington doesn't TIA DALMA know where that came from. Suddenly, it all crashes down on Swann. He sags.SWANN(CONT'D) I miss Elizabeth. I need to find what's become of her.Norrington looks at him. Glances over his shoulder at the Flying Dutchman. Back to Swann. It takes an effort, but finally:NORRINGTONSir I am sorry. At last report, Elizabeth was aboard the Black Pearl when she went down. All hands are presumed lost.Swann looks back up at Norrington. He does not want to believe it. Norrington does not want to say it, but - -NORRINGTON (CONT'D)I was there.Swann absorbs this.SWANNI must find a ship to England.The steam engine ROARS back to life as he says this, his words nearly lost in the sound.ANGLE - THE BALCONY, where Beckett stands, gazing down at the scene.REVERSE - POV BECKETT, as the ROAR of the engine continues as Swann moves away from Norrington. Norrington catches his arm. A heated exchange, Swann bringing most of the heat.Finally Swann turns and strides away. Norrington watches him, resigned and then looks up, directly into CAMERA, right at Beckett.EXT. HAI PENG - DECK - NIGHTGibbs at the helm. Barbossa reads the charts. Gibbs tries to peek but Barbossa pulls them away.BARBOSSACome about full, and set your heading due north.Gibbs frowns, doesn't move the wheel. Barbossa raises an eyebrow.GIBBSWe just spent three days and nights sailing due south.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 10BARBOSSAI don't have a need of you questioning my orders, Mister Gibbs.GIBBSAye, you give the orders, now, is that how it is?Will cuts in between them.WILLGibbs, by my authority, you're to follow the heading suggested by Mister Barbossa, in his official capacity of - - navigator.Barbossa gives Gibbs as angelic smile. Gibbs turns the wheel.WILL (CONT'D)Mister Barbossa On the charts, I was struck by a curious phrase. "Capsized into the mirrored sea, the sunrise sets at the flash of green." Do you care to speculate on that for me? BARBOSSAEver gazed upon the green flash, Mister Gibbs?GIBBSI reckon I've seen my share. (explains, for Will's benefit) It's quite a sight. Happens at the last glimpse of sunset, on rare occasions, a green flash shoots up. Some go their whole lives and never see it, many claim to have seen it who never have. Sailors say it signals when a soul comes back to this world from the dead.WILL(to Barbossa) What are the implications to our journey?BARBOSSAI reckon it will Beckett clear enough when the time comes.WillI am interested in your present day speculations.Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 11BARBOSSAI reckon I'll keep my speculations to myself for now, and that way you'll have good reason to keep me around the entire journey.GIBBSA prudent strategy, says I.Barbossa glares at Gibbs. Will decides not to push the matter.WillCarry on, then.Barbossa bows and turns away. Nearby, Pintel and Ragetti swab the deck, obviously listening in. As they speak, FLAKES OF SNOW start to drop down around them.Ragetti leans over to Pintel as if he has a great secret.RAGETTIIt's a riddle.PINTELI know it's a riddle. They know it's a riddle. They don't know what the riddle mean. I don't like riddles.RAGETTIRiddles are fun. "Capsized into the mirrored sea, the sunrise sets"PINTELRiddles are not fun! The way it always works is some poor bloke don't understand what it means, and then he ends up dead he realizes no, I wasn't supposed to listen to the singsing of the sirens, I wasn't supposed to take the pot o'gold and make that fourth wish, but by then it's too late and he dies in a horrible and ironical manner, and in this case, you and I be the poor bloke!RAGETTIRiddle are fun.PINTELRight, it's all fun and games 'til somebody loses an eye - -Pintel goes pale, realizes what he has just said.Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 12RAGETTINow, there was no call to get all personal!PINTELI didn't mean it!They are interrupted SCRAPING SOUND along the keel of the boat. Pintel and Ragetti look outEXT. OCEAN - DAYWhere a huge ICEBERG floats past in the water. The Hai Peng sails amid the snow and icebergs, beneath white-blue sheen of glaciers.PINTELWhere on God's green earth is he taking us?EXT. HAT PENG - DECK - NIGHTTia Dalma measures out rum to the crew. Barbossa downs his right away.Gibbs nurses his. Elizabeth cups her hands around hers as if it will keep her warm.TIA DALMAWe sail into dangerous waters together. I wonder which of you are up to the task? You will survive if your motives are strong.She turns to Will.TIA DALMA (O.S.)What brings you on this voyage?WILLThere is what a man can do, and what a man can't do. Jack Sparrow died saving my life. I can't leave it at that.ON ELIZABETH - - she knows that's not true, but keeps it to herself. Tia Dalma turns to Barbossa.Barbossa answers with great conviction and sincerity and a lowered head:BARBOSSATo atone for my many and varied sins, ma'am.Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 13Gibbs laughs. Barbossa looks hurt.BARBOSSA (CONT'D)And because you kindly asked me to come on this voyage, ma'am. (explains) Seeing as she did me the great service of restoring my life, I am of course overcome with gratitude, and offer to Beckett of service in any way I can.GIBBSI wondered about that. How exactly were you delivered from your fate?Barbossa smiles, sticks his knife into an apple slice, bites into it and chews. Silence is his only answer.TIA DALMAAnd you, Elizabeth? What lies in your heart on this trip?Elizabeth jerks her head at the word "lies" Will watches her.She considers, and finally settles on:ELIZABETHJack Sparrow did not deserve the fate the world gave him.TIA DALMAAh, and what man does?ELIZABETHTo punish the wicked, I leave as God's work. But at least we can try to reward the good, don't you think? (beat) What about you, Tia Dalma? What makes you risk such a dangerous journey?TIA DALMAThe world is a lesser place without Jack Sparrow.ELIZABETHTo Beckett sure. But that doesn't answer the question, does it? WILLLeaving me all the more curious as to your response. Tia Dalma looks slyly between them. She answers enigmatically: Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 14TIA DALMAI am owed many debts, with Jack Sparrow not the least among the debtors. I can hardly collect from a man not of this world. EXT. HAI PENG - DECK - NIGHTElizabeth, lost in thought. has moved away from the others.Will comes up behind her.WILLIt must Beckett a terrible secret indeed, for you to let it come between us.ELIZABETHNothing has come between us. But I do worry I will not live up to what you deserve.Will doesn’t like the sound of that.WILLAs do I with you. Every day. I suspect there is more that troubles you.ELIZABETHMy heart is troubled for the same reason yours is. If we can rescue Jack, all will Beckett well.Will doesn't know how to take that. He presumes - - wrongly - - that she is in love with Jack, and hopes to get her back.WILLThis is a voyage of resolution, then.Elizabeth nods. Looks out past the rigging - -- - the ocean before them is a mirror, stars above and below.ELIZABETHLike sailing into the night sky. (beat) Such a sight is what gave rise to tales and superstitions of the end of the world, where the ocean drops off into nothingness.Barbossa joins them at the railing, pleased.BARBOSSAAh, we're good and lost now.ELIZABETHLost?

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 15BARBOSSAAye, for certain you have to Beckett lost, to find a place as can't Beckett found. Else ways everyone would know where it was, wouldn't they?WILLLost or crazy.BARBOSSAOr why not both?Barbossa laughs. Then they hear a distant ROAR.The SOUND of RAGING WATER gets LOUDER. The ship TURNS on its own, is swept toward the sound - -GIBBSHard a-port! Gather way and keep her trim!Pirates scurry to save the ship.Tia Dalma appears on deck. Unlike those around her, she is calm and serene.She tosses her crab claws down onto a barrel head. Learns over them and smiles.She murmurs an INCANATION. Moves the claws around in an intricate, repeating pattern.Elizabeth and Will stare at her - - what is she doing? The ROAR is now OVERWHELMING; Elizabeth turns away, sees - -ANGLE - FROM BELOW. a huge WATERFALL is revealed - - it looks to be THE EDGE OF THE WORLD.Elizabeth whirls to Barbossa.ELIZABETHYou're a fiend! You have led us to our doom!BARBOSSAPirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 16BLACKNESS.And SILENCE.Out of the silence comes SINGING and LAUGHTER various pirate voices, distant, eerie "Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me"And just as quickly as they came, the voice FADE, to Beckett replaced again by SILENCEFADE UP ON:A WHITE HOT SUN burns in a cloudless blue sky.EXT. DESERT - DAY.JACK SPARROW sits with his head lowered, alone in the dunes of a vant desert. A dry wind blows. This is Jack's purgatory.Sand in all directions, endless.Jack drags himself to his feet.He staggers to a rope lying in the sand. Picks it up and turns, the rope over his back. He leans forward and PULLS - -His feet dig into the sand; he drives forward but goes nowhere. The rope angles up behind him; Jack pulls but makes no progress, gradually sinking downCOME AROUND TO REVEAL: at the other end of the rope is the Black Pearl. Towering above him, stranded in the middle of the vast desert.Jack keeps tugging, to no avail.Nearby are several SMOOTH ROUND STONES. Weirdly, the stones begin to rock back and forth, like eggs hatching. Cracks appear and the stones transform into crabs.One of the crabs turns toward Jack, watching him. Clicks, annoying, like it's laughing.

JACK SPARROWPerfect. What would my torment be without freaky crabs here to mock me?Jack grabs a handful of sand and flings it. The crabs flinch back. Jack collapses into the sand.JACK SPARROW (CONT'D)I'm talking to a crab.The crab scuttles forward looks at Jack. Scuttles sideways, looks at the ship.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 17The crab scuttles awayEXT. DESERT - DAYJack Sparrow lays in the sand. Baking in the sun, exhausted.A SHADOW MOVES OVER HIM - -Jack blinks, looks up.ANGLE - ABOVE JACK, the PROW of the Black Pearl. Moving.Jack stand up, sees - - the Black Pearl drifts, floats across the sand, carried on the back of a thousand chittering crabs.Jack raises an eyebrow.JACK SPARROW (CONT'D)Strange.EXT. DESERT - SHORE - DAYIn the water float broken bits of wreckage, all that is left of the Hai Peng. Pintel and Ragetti share a wooden plank as the paddle. Ragetti wears a wide grin.PINTELLestways it wasn't us what wrecked the ship this time - - what is it with you?Ragetti cowers, the grin disappears.RAGETTII thought it was fun.PINTELIt wasn't fun! (tries to scowl, gives up) Maybe a little, the tilting over part - -RAGETTI- - and the big splash at the end!Pintel splashes him, Ragetti splashes back. Elizabeth, Will, Barbossa, Gibbs, Tia Dalma pull themselves onto shore.GIBBSTruly a god-forsaken place.ELIZABETHHow do we find him? Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 18BARBOSSAHe's here. Every sailor what Davy Jones has banished to the depths is here, Somewhere.WILLAnd why should we bother? Now where trapped. Just like him.TIA DALMAJack Sparrow is closer than you think.All eyes turn to Tia Dalma. Behind her, an amazing sight - -JACK SPARROW APPEARS in the sky, at the bow of the Black Pearl, riding over the desert sand, toward the water.

Carried on the back of ten thousand crabs.GIBBSWell I'll be keel-hauled and dipped in sheep shit! Jack!Jack waves. Grabs a rope, swings down onto the sand.JACK SPARROWThank goodness I've found you! Is everybody all right?The ship keeps going behind him, toward the water. Jack treats it like the most normal thing in the world.JACK SPARROW (CONT'D)Will! Gibbs! Ragetti! Pintel and, uh, you with the one eye Tia Dalma, lovely as ever. (Come to Barbossa) Now here's a surprise.BARBOSSAJack, Jack it does me heart good to see you halfway along the path to hellHe grabs Jack, puts a knife to Jack's throat.BARBOSSA(CONT'D) I've a mind to take you the rest of the way! (low) It's not far, I can attest to that!ELIZABETHStop! We're here to rescue him.Jack turns as Elizabeth's voice. Focuses on her. Pushes Barbossa aside, unconcerned.Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 19Barbossa frowns at being suddenly ignored.JACK SPARROWDear Elizabeth. You came to rescue me. How uncommonly generous of you.Will watches the exchange closely.ELIZABETHIn payment for your heroic actions, in saving us all from the Kraken. Our score is level.JACK SPARROWIt is now? Level.Jack pointedly looks out at the desert. Does a three-sixty turn as he makes a "wind blowing over the sand" sound.JACK SPARROW (CONT'D)I don't feel rescued.(with some venom) And so the score is decidedly not level.BARBOSSAI guess you could look at it as we're in the midst of the rescue operation, at the moment.JACK SPARROWLooks to me as if the rescuers are in need of rescuing. And who says I want to Beckett rescued, anyway?Jack strides away, Everyone is incredulous.WILLYou're coming with us. We've gone to too much trouble.Jack waves him away.WILL (CONT'D)Jack!JACK SPARROW(turns) Fact is, I don't. I'm perfectly happy. Here. It's very (tries to think of something good) Simple.Will and Barbossa exchange a look.Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 20JACK SPARROW (CONT'D)But if I do agree to help you out of this mess. It shall Beckett as nothing less than Captain.Barbossa shakes his head.BARBOSSAI'm Captain on the return voyage.JACK SPARROWThen you shouldn't have misplaced your ship.BARBOSSAI see my ship - - right there.He points at the Black Pearl.

Can you hear me?GIBBSAye.WILL(O.S.) care to pass the time?GIBBSI hold nothing against you a 'personal, William Turner.Will drops down next to Gibbs, but hangs in the shadows.WILLI'm curious about the Black Pearl.GIBBSYou come to the right man.WILLWhy is it the only ship that can catch the Flying Dutchman? What makes it so fast?Gibbs keeps drinking as he talks.GIBBSWell, there's the usual stuff. She was launched on a Wednesday with the moon on the make. You build a ship north-south, so the magnetic line don't mess with the compass. You use tree nails, as they're lighter. And you don't let no virgins or flat footed men or cross-eyed horses near.
Gibbs puts the cap onto his bottle. Will steps out of the shadows.
WILL
Is that all? There must be more.
We get the idea that he wants to keep Gibbs talking. Gibbs uncaps the bottle, drinks. Lowers his voice.
GIBBS
Aye, there's more. (MORE)

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 52
GIBBS (CONT'D)
The Black Pearl is made from the fastest wood, every plank a piece of polished Black Walnut -- dug up from used coffins. That's why it can catch the Flying Dutchman.
Will is dubious.
WILL
Coffin? What about the masts?
GIBBS
From trees that grew in graveyards.
WILL
Ah.
GIBBS
'Course we're not making much time now. With the bodies left over from the fight. (off Will's look) Everyone knows a ship sails slower when there's a corpse on board.
Gibbs empties his drink.
WILL
Mind if I take the bottle?
GIBBS
By all means, got plenty.
Will is surprised.
WILL
Plenty of rum?
GIBBS
(clarifying) Bottles. There's never enough rum.
Will smiles, grabs a rope, pulls himself up into the rigging.
EXT. HMS ENDEAVOR - MAIN DECK - DAY
Beckett confers with a Lieutenant over a set of charts.
LIEUTENANT
Three likely pirate ships have been spotted. All on different headings.
Beckett's attention is drawn to the horizon.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 53
LIEUTENANT
We may presume their ships approach the hideaway from different compass points...
He notices Beckett's lack of attention, follows his gaze - -
In the distance, a TOWER OF SEAGULLS circles over something in the ocean. The distant, eerie, raucous CRY of the birds can be heard...
Beckett and the Lieutenant exchange a look of interest - -
EXT. CARIBBEAN SEA -DAY
Gulls circle, filling the sky. Their cries now much LOUDER.
The Endeavor glides toward - -
IN THE WATER, a dead body. Bloated and pale. It is one of the pirates killed in the fight on the Black Pearl, lashed to a pair of barrels.
A SEAGULL pecks at the man's ear, flies away with the prize, pursued by others --
EXT. HMS ENDEAVOR - MAIN DECK - DAY
the body is hauled onto the deck. Beckett and the Lieutenant look it over. Tied to the body is one of Gibbs's rum bottles - -
With a note inside.
The Lieutenant fishes the paper out. Unrolls it.
LIEUTENANT
Ah, from the mysterious betrayer. Corse headings.
He hands the paper over to Beckett.
BECKETT
What do you make of it? A falling out among thieves - - or are we being drawn into a trap?
The ENSIGN sees something... stares through his spyglass.
ENSIGN
Sir - - look.
The Ensign hands over the spyglass.
THROUGH THE SPYGLASS, on the edge of the horizon, faint and nearly out of sight - - another TOWER OF SEAGULLS.
BECKETT
Another body. I suspect another note.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 54
LIEUTENANT
(lower the spyglass)
A bread crumb trail. Ghastly, but effective. Adjust course, Ensign.
Beckett smiles at some private thought.
LIEUTENANT (CONTD)
Sir?
BECKETT
We can only hope to reach our destination before they run out of bodies.
EXT. BLACK PEARL - STERN - NIGHT
Will wrestles two barrels to the stern. Another BODY has been lashed between them. Will stuffs a paper into a rum bottle, wedges it into the tunic on the body - -
JACK SPARROW
I see you.
Will pulls his sword and spins as Jack steps into the lamp light. Their swords flash. Jack works the bottle over to look at Wills handiwork. Their swords lock.
JACK SPARROW (CONTD)
You’re leaving them clues. That’s odd.
WILL
You haven’t raised the alarm. That’s odd as well.
JACK SPARROW
As a matter of fact I haven’t raised the alarm and - - that is odd.
They resume fighting.
WILL
Could it Beckett we have the same end game in mind?
JACK SPARROW
Could be! As always you hope to save the winsome Elizabeth, of course.
WILL
As do you, when you’re not trying to save your skin.
Jack regards Will as their swords ring. He steps back into the darkness.
Circles Will.

WILL
Maybe you should do it. I like that sundered-from-Elizabeth part.
Will stands and in a flash, SLASHES at the bottle. Cutting it in half. Jack stares as rum splashes down at the deck.
JACK SPARROW
That was entirely uncalled for,
wasteful, and beyond that, just plain mean-spirited.
Jack engages Will with a vengeance, parries a thrust into the hull of the ship. Briefly has the advantage, but doesn’t use it. Instead he turns and looks out to sea.
JACK SPARROW (CONTD)
I think I will stab the heart.
(Will is surprised)
I’ve been dead, and I don’t want to go back. To live forever, and see everything there is to see - - maybe twice - - who wouldn’t want that?
Will pulls his sword from the hull, joins Jack looking out to sea.
JACK SPARROW (CONTD)
This life we have is cruel, Will, it mocks us were granted just a taste, if were lucky, and then its ripped away. I’ve been on the path to the Land of the Dead. I’ve been there and I’ve done that, I don’t care do it again.
WILL
You’re saying were on the same side.
JACK SPARROW
Exactly! Now you’re being reasonable.
WILL
You still have to answer for Elizabeth?
JACK SPARROW
She’ll Beckett all right you’ll see her again at Shipwreck Cove none the worse for wear, I’m sure.
And again the two men whirl at each other and their swords CLASH.

well thats it guys sorry its the best i can do sorry that all the script is bunched 2gether but it waz hard to post it all without running out of characters weel 4 those who didn't get a chance 2 look at da script while it waz still on da net here it is

gibbs said shit.. will he say that lol? i dont know.. seems ok i guess.. hope this is an early thing though

im gonna keep on writing da script 4 fun ong itd be scary if wat i write turns out simular or da smae in da movie lol nah that would neva happen

sorry guys its probably really hard 2 read cuz its all bunched 2gether but i think if ya copy n paste in2 a word document n press da ENTER key weneva neccissary(alot) itll make sense after that sorry tried me best but i think disney have wiped nearly every copy off da net so its almost impossible 2 find it im so glad i saved it b4 they did that lol

sooooooooooooooooooooooooo wat do da pplz think fake or maybe a draft script or possibley da real thing

People, this man speaks lies, this script is a falsehood. May Her Holiness watch over and guide you.

The 56 leaked pages we confirmed to be part of the early draft script.

that's the leaked draft version of the script..the first 57 pages..thats all that got leaked..they are confirmed to be real by Disney..(wikipedia says so)

they are a very rough very early draft script..the dialogue has been changed now though..

...that's basically what I said,but OK!

LOl sorry I didnt see

It's ok...I'm SOOO bored...where is everybody?!

No idea..we are loners

So this guy was lying to us..he said he read the ENTIRE script ...I hate liers..

Wow. finally got on this thread and read all this...I sure hope this isn't how the movie goes....I don't like it a'tall. I wonder what will happen..If this is the real draft...do you think Jack and Liz are still denying their feelings....man, Will sounds really bitter and evil...me likes....how will Jack and Liz work their way back to each other.....sounds like Jack doesn't want much to do with her in this script....but he's playing with Will's mind...making Will think he does....I hate this story...I like our story better

Well, remember that is a really early draft of the script so probably hundreds of things have been changed by now. What I really like about it is how it's like the ride where they go down a huge waterfall and then hear "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me." It reminds me so much of the ride.

Yeah I do like that part....

looking At this script, I don't thinK that Jack & Liz thing is gonna work, SORRY GUYS!!!

Can someone post a really good draft of the script??

oi pplz im not lying or saying this script is real or not all i did waz post wat i found on da net on here so those that asked 4 it could have it i don want this 2 be da real script either but i believe in what LovelyOne said it is most likely an early draft n the director, disney n even some of da cast r ggonna get r say in how it turns out i have all my faith in every1 involved in potc 3 production that wateva they give us wateva ending whoeva ends up with who that it will still be a good storyline n im sure the every1 will LOVE da ending product thanku 4 listening 2 my speech

If the networks keep their season finales and series finales top secret why wouldn't Disney keep the script to POTC a secret? It don't make sense.


Now, Bring Me That Horizon - And Really Bad Eggs. Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho!

What script?? where

>Ever gazed upon the green flash, Mister Gibbs?

>GIBBS
>I reckon I've seen my share.(explains, for Will's benefit) It's
>quite a sight. Happens at the last glimpse of sunset, on rare
>occasions, a green flash shoots up. Some go their whole lives and
>never see it; many claim to have seen it who never have. Sailors say
>it signals when a soul comes back to this world from the dead.
>
>WILL
>(to Barbossa) What are the implications to our journey?
>
>BARBOSSA
>I reckon it will be clear enough when the time comes.
>
>WILL
>I am interested in your present day speculations.
>
>BARBOSSA
>I reckon I'll keep my speculations to myself for now, and that way
>you'll have good reason to keep me around the entire journey.
>
>GIBBS
>A prudent strategy, says I.
>
>Barbossa glares at Gibbs. Will decides not to push the matter.
>
>WILL
>Carry on, then.
>
>Barbossa bows and turns away. Nearby, Pintel and Ragetti swab the
>deck, obviously listening in. As they speak, FLAKES OF SNOW start to
>drop down around them.
>Ragetti leans over to Pintel as if he has a great secret.
>
>RAGETTI
>It's a riddle.
>
>PINTEL
>I know it's a riddle. They know it's a riddle. They don't know what
>the riddle means. I don't like riddles.
>
>RAGETTI
>Riddles are fun. "Capsized into the mirrored sea, the sunrise sets"
>
>PINTEL
>Riddles are not fun! The way it always works is some poor bloke
>don't understand what it means, and then he ends up dead he realizes
>no, I wasn't supposed to listen to the singsong of the sirens, I
>wasn't supposed to take the pot o'gold and make that fourth wish,
>but by then it's too late and he dies in a horrible and ironical
>manner, and in this case, you and I be the poor bloke!
>
>RAGETTI
>Riddles are fun.
>
>PINTEL
>Right, it's all fun and games 'til somebody loses an eye - -
>
>Pintel goes pale, realizes what he has just said.
>
>RAGETTI
>Now, there was no call to get all personal!
>
>PINTEL
>I didn't mean it!
>
>They are interrupted SCRAPING SOUND along the keel of the boat.
>Pintel and Ragetti look out
>
>EXT. OCEAN - DAY
>
>Where a huge ICEBERG floats past in the water. The Hai Peng sails
>amid the snow and icebergs, beneath white-blue sheen of glaciers.
>
>PINTEL
>Where on God's green earth is he taking us?
>
>EXT. HAT PENG - DECK - NIGHT
>
>Tia Dalma measures out rum to the crew. Barbossa downs his right
>away.
>Gibbs nurses his. Elizabeth cups her hands around hers as if it will
>keep her warm.
>
>TIA DALMA
>We sail into dangerous waters together. I wonder which of you are up
>to the task? You will survive if your motives are strong.
>
>She turns to Will.
>
>TIA DALMA (O.S.)
>What brings you on this voyage?
>
>WILL
>There is what a man can do, and what a man can't do. Jack Sparrow
>died saving my life. I can't leave it at that.
>
>ON ELIZABETH - - she knows that's not true, but keeps it to himself.
>Tia Dalma turns to Barbossa.
>Barbossa answers with great conviction and sincerity and a lowered
>head:
>
>BARBOSSA
>To atone for my many and varied sins, ma'am.
>
>Gibbs laughs. Barbossa looks hurt.
>
>BARBOSSA(CONT'D)
>And because you kindly asked me to come on this voyage,
>ma'am.(explains) Seeing as she did me the great service of restoring
>my life, I am of course overcome with gratitude, and offer to be of
>service in any way I can.
>
>GIBBS
>I wondered about that. How exactly were you delivered from your
>fate?
>
>Barbossa smiles, sticks his knife into an apple slice, bites into it
>and chews. Silence is his only answer.
>
>TIA DALMA
>And you, Elizabeth? What lies in your heart on this trip?
>
>Elizabeth jerks her head at the word "lies" Will watches her.
>She considers, and finally settles on:
>
>ELIZABETH
>Jack Sparrow did not deserve the fate the world gave him.
>
>TIA DALMA
>Ah, and what man does?
>
>ELIZABETH
>To punish the wicked, I leave as God's work. But at least we can try
>to reward the good, don't you think? (beat) What about you, Tia
>Dalma? What makes you risk such a dangerous journey?
>
>TIA DALMA
>The world is a lesser place without Jack Sparrow.
>
>ELIZABETH
>To be sure. But that doesn't answer the question, does it?
>
>WILL
>Leaving me all the more curious as to your response.
>
>Tia Dalma looks slyly between them. She answers enigmatically:
>
>TIA DALMA
>I am owed many debts, with Jack Sparrow not the least among the
>debtors. I can hardly collect from a man not of this world.
>
>EXT. HAI PENG - DECK - NIGHT
>
>Elizabeth, lost in thought. Has moved away from the others.
>Will comes up behind her.
>
>WILL
>It must be a terrible secret indeed, for you to let it come between
>us.
>
>ELIZABETH
>Nothing has come between us. But I do worry I will not live up to
>what you deserve.
>
>Will doesnít like the sound of that.
>
>WILL
>As do I with you. Every day. I suspect there is more that troubles
>you.
>
>ELIZABETH
>My heart is troubled for the same reason yours is. If we can rescue
>Jack, all will be well.
>
>Will doesn't know how to take that. He presumes - - wrongly - - that
>she is in love with Jack, and hopes to get him back.
>
>WILL
>This is a voyage of resolution, then.
>
>Elizabeth nods. Looks out past the rigging - -
>- - the ocean before them is a mirror, stars above and below.
>
>ELIZABETH
>Like sailing into the night sky. (beat) Such a sight is what gave
>rise to tales and superstitions of the end of the world, where the
>ocean drops off into nothingness.
>
>Barbossa joins them at the railing, pleased.
>
>BARBOSSA
>Ah, we're good and lost now.
>
>ELIZABETH
>Lost?
>
>BARBOSSA
>Aye, for certain you have to be lost, to find a place as can't be
>found. Else ways everyone would know where it was, wouldn't they?
>
>WILL
>Lost or crazy.
>
>BARBOSSA
>Or why not both?
>
>Barbossa laughs. Then they hear a distant ROAR.
>The SOUND of RAGING WATER gets LOUDER. The ship TURNS on its own, is
>swept toward the sound - -
>
>GIBBS
>Hard a-port! Gather way and keep her trim!
>
>Pirates scurry to save the ship.
>
>Tia Dalma appears on deck. Unlike those around her, she is calm and
>serene.

>She tosses her crab claws down onto a barrel head. Learns over them
>and smiles.
>She murmurs an INCANATION. Moves the claws around in an intricate,
>repeating pattern.
>Elizabeth and Will stare at her - - what is she doing? The ROAR is
>now OVERWHELMING; Elizabeth turns away, sees - -
>
>ANGLE - FROM BELOW. A huge WATERFALL is revealed - - it looks to be
>THE EDGE OF THE WORLD.
>Elizabeth whirls to Barbossa.
>
>ELIZABETH
>You're a fiend! You have led us to our doom!
>
>BARBOSSA
>Now don't be so unkind, my child after all, ye might not survive the
>trip these may be the last friendly words you hear
>
>He laughs. The prow of the Hai Pan sticks out into the air and then
>the entire ship TILT DOWN
>Elizabeth screams Barbossa laughs louder all the Pirates scream as
>the ship plummets down into - -
>
>BLACKNESS.
>And SILENCE.
>Out of the silence comes SINGING and LAUGHTER various pirate voices,
>distant, eerie "Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me"
>And just as quickly as they came, the voice FADE, to be replaced
>again by SILENCE
>
>FADE UP ON:
>A WHITE HOT SUN burns in a cloudless blue sky.
>
>EXT. DESERT - DAY.
>
>JACK SPARROW sits with his head lowered, alone in the dunes of a
>vast desert. A dry wind blows. This is Jack's purgatory.
>Sand in all directions, endless.
>Jack drags himself to his feet.
>He staggers to a rope lying in the sand. Picks it up and turns the
>rope over his back. He leans forward and PULLS - -
>His feet dig into the sand; he drives forward but goes nowhere. The
>rope angles up behind him; Jack pulls but makes no progress,
>gradually sinking down
>COME AROUND TO REVEAL: at the other end of the rope is the Black
>Pearl. Towering above him, stranded in the middle of the vast
>desert.
>Jack keeps tugging, to no avail.
>
>Nearby are several SMOOTH ROUND STONES. Weirdly, the stones begin to
>rock back and forth, like eggs hatching. Cracks appear and the
>stones transform into crabs.
>One of the crabs turns toward Jack, watching him. Clicks, annoying,
>like it's laughing.
>
>JACK SPARROW
>Perfect. What would my torment be without freaky crabs here to mock
>me?
>
>Jack grabs a handful of sand and flings it. The crabs flinch back.
>Jack collapses into the sand.
>
>JACK SPARROW (CONT'D)
>I'm talking to a crab.
>
>The crab scuttles forward looks at Jack. Scuttles sideways, looks at
>the ship.
>The crab scuttles away
>
>EXT. DESERT - DAY
>
>Jack Sparrow lies in the sand. Baking in the sun, exhausted.
>A SHADOW MOVES OVER HIM - -
>Jack blinks, looks up.
>ANGLE - ABOVE JACK, the PROW of the Black Pearl. Moving.
>Jack stand up, sees - - the Black Pearl drifts, floats across the
>sand, carried on the back of a thousand chittering crabs.
>Jack raises an eyebrow.
>
>JACK SPARROW(CONT'D)
>Strange.
>
>EXT. DESERT - SHORE - DAY

POTC3: Part 2
>EXT. DESERT - SHORE - DAY
>
>In the water floats broken bits of wreckage, all that is left of the
>Hai Peng. Pintel and Ragetti share a wooden plank as the paddle.
>Ragetti wears a wide grin.
>
>PINTEL
>Lest ways it wasn't us what wrecked the ship this time - - what is
>it with you?
>
>Ragetti cowers, the grin disappears.
>
>RAGETTI
>I thought it was fun.
>
>PINTEL
>It wasn't fun! (tries to scowl, gives up) Maybe a little, the
>tilting over part - -
>
>RAGETTI
>- - and the big splash at the end!
>
>Pintel splashes him, Ragetti splashes back. Elizabeth, Will,
>Barbossa, Gibbs, Tia Dalma pull themselves onto shore.
>
>GIBBS
>Truly a god-forsaken place.
>
>ELIZABETH
>How do we find him?
>
>BARBOSSA
>He's here. Every sailor what Davy Jones has banished to the depths
>is here, Somewhere.
>
>WILL
>And why should we bother? Now weíre trapped. Just like him.
>
>TIA DALMA
>Jack Sparrow is closer than you think.
>
>All eyes turn to Tia Dalma. Behind her, an amazing sight - -
>JACK SPARROW APPEARS in the sky, at the bow of the Black Pearl,
>riding over the desert sand, toward the water. Carried on the back
>of ten thousand crabs.
>
>GIBBS
>Well I'll be keel-hauled and dipped in sheep shit! Jack!
>
>Jack waves. Grabs a rope, swings down onto the sand.
>
>JACK SPARROW
>Thank goodness I've found you! Is everybody all right?
>
>The ship keeps going behind him, toward the water. Jack treats it
>like the most normal thing in the world.
>
>JACK SPARROW(CONT'D)
>Will! Gibbs! Pintel and, uh, you with the one eye. Tia Dalma, lovely
>as ever. (come to Barbossa) Now here's a surprise.
>
>BARBOSSA
>Jack, Jack it does me heart good to see you halfway along the path
>to hell
>
>He grabs Jack, puts a knife to Jack's throat.
>
>BARBOSSA
>(CONT'D)
>I've a mind to take you the rest of the way! (low) It's not far, I
>can attest to that!
>
>ELIZABETH
>Stop! We're here to rescue him.
>
>Jack turns as Elizabeth's voice. Focuses on her. Pushes Barbossa
>aside, unconcerned.
>
>Barbossa frowns at being suddenly ignored.
>
>JACK SPARROW
>Dear Elizabeth. You came to rescue me. How uncommonly generous of
>you.
>
>Will watches the exchange closely.
>
>ELIZABETH
>In payment for your heroic actions, in saving us all from the
>Kraken. Our score is level.
>
>JACK SPARROW
>Is it now? Level.
>
>Jack pointedly looks out at the desert. Does a three-sixty turn as
>he makes a "wind blowing over the sand" sound.
>
>JACK SPARROW(CONT'D)
>I don't feel rescued.(with some venom) And so the score is decidedly
>not leve
