I went to an industry show this morning and talked to the folks that do the props for POTC. Filming will start in March 2005, most of the filming will be in L.A., with short filming(a few months instead of six) in Caribbean. Possible filming in New Orleans. That hasn't been finalized yet. They have already started the pre-production work on POTC 2&3. They had a whole pirate display at their booth. Really cool!

Okay, my contact at Disney has come through with definate news: they will begin shooting mid Feb and go until the middle of Dec.2005. This means we won't be seeing the new films until 2006, probably the summer, at the earliest.

The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl made $305 million at the North American box office. It added an additional $348 million overseas for a grand total of $653 million worldwide. Then, it went on to sell 11 million DVD/VHS units in its first week, making it the largest live-action flick in history for the medium. Is it any wonder that Disney moved quickly to greenlight not just one, but two sequels?
Yes, the second high-seas adventure of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann will hit theaters in 2006, and according to spokesmen at Disney, will then be followed six months later by a third Pirates film. As the Wachowski brothers did with The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, both films will be shot at the same time. So far, the rumor has the subtitle of the second film as Treasure of the Lost Abyss. The really great news, though, is that the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards has been confirmed for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow's father. If you're unaware why this is significant, Depp modeled the characteristics of Sparrow after those of the musician.
Along with Richards, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will all reprise the roles they originated. Additionally, director Gore Verbinski and screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott are back on hand as well. (Kim Hollis/BOP)
