There are no plans to change "Pirates of the Caribbean" to "Pirates of the West Desert." Nonetheless, The Tooele Transcript-Bulletin has confirmed that Johnny Depp and the crew of the blockbuster film franchise were at the Bonneville Salt Flats Friday filming a scene for the upcoming third installment.
Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman had a secret lunch at the Salt Flats Friday. He met with the cast and crew of the next installment of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" series, which wrapped a one-day filming engagement near Wendover.
Amid the vast and bright blankness of the dry lake bed, a huge caravan of semi-truck trailers and catering tents interrupted the bare landscape. Crew were deconstructing the bow of the film's most famous ship, the Black Pearl, Friday around 2 p.m. Workers confirmed that filming had ended for the day and that Huntsman had paid a visit.
Michael Singer is the unit publicist for the film whose working title is "Pirates of the Caribbean 3." He confirmed that the Salt Flats did play host to the film's crew as well as director Gore Verbinsky and its star Johnny Depp. None of the other stars, including Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightly or Chow Yun-Fat were in Utah.
The film takes place (no surprises here) in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. For several months, the cast and crew filmed scenes for the second and third installment in the waters off the coast of Grand Bahama Island. Singer said he could not comment on how the bright-white desert landscape plays into the script.
"I can't talk about the content, but for the purposes that we required I can say that the Bonneville Salt Flats presented a perfect location," Singer said in an interview Monday. "And all the officials, from the governor, BLM and film commission were really absolutely great to work with."
With only a one-day film schedule, the Salt Flats aren't likely to play a pivotal role in the film, but Singer said locals will be able to identify the scenes that were shot here.
"For those familiar with the Salt Flats, certainly, there will be some recognition factor," he said.
On-set Friday, a man who identified himself as a member of the locations crew referred to the production company's exclusive use permit with the Bureau of Land Management and very politely asked the staff of The Tooele Transcript-Bulletin to leave the Salt Flats. He said only media representatives with clearance from the publicist are allowed on set.
Prior to being asked to leave, however, a crew member confirmed that Gov. Huntsman had visited the set. According to the crew member, Huntsman "sat down, had lunch, bull s
and left."
Huntsman's communications coordinator, Lisa Roskelly, said Monday that the governor's office could not comment on the meeting, regardless of whether filming had wrapped.
"We told the organization that we wouldn't talk about it at all," she said without confirming any details of the meeting at all. "From the governor's perspective, it was a confidential economic development meeting."
Utah Film Commission director Aaron Lee Syrett did not return phone calls by press time. Ray Kelsey, the BLM representative who manages permits for the Salt Flats echoed the governor's vow of silence, but opened up when given confirmation that Singer had spoken openly about the filming. Concerning secret permit practices by the BLM, Kelsey had this to say.
"If we don't honor some of these confidentiality issues that come up with these groups, they probably wouldn't come out and film here," he said. "In some cases it is when you have media calling and trying to find out what's going on and you got celebrities out there who are concerned about paparazzi and trying to keep secret while they are shooting to prevent the public from knowing until the time it is released."
Despite telephone calls Friday, the governor's staff was reluctant to explain where Huntsman was, or perhaps they themselves were unaware.
The Tooele Transcript-Bulletin became aware of the governor's engagement in Tooele County by overhearing chatter on a police scanner regarding his movements and transmissions that also mentioned the Utah Film Commission. That the movie was Pirates of the Caribbean became obvious when the figurehead of the Black Pearl was spotted, still half-erected, on the Salt Flats about three to five miles north of the end of the access road.
According to police scanner conversation, around 12:30 p.m. the governor arrived in Wendover. Huntsman's weekly schedule indicated he would be in a meeting with this chief of staff at that time. No location of the meeting was provided on the schedule.
Tooele County sheriff's dispatch was participating in the radio conversation that was tracking the governor's movement, but denied any knowledge of his whereabouts when contacted Friday around noon.
After calls were made to the governor's office, the Tooele County Sheriff's office and Tooele County dispatch, the radio transmission changed.
"We just got word that the news media is picking up on this," a voice said, and advised that no more details should be shared about the governor's movements. No more than 10 minutes later, however, in thinly-veiled code, a voice said "the eagle has landed."
Singer said he appreciated the secrecy but was not concerned that details will be revealed now.
"We just wanted to do our work as quietly as possible with as few distractions," Singer said. "[Depp's presence] certainly would draw a crowd ... If it had become a tourist attraction it wouldn't have helped anybody. Nobody, including law enforcement, wants thousands of people trouping about."
The bigger question is why has the secrecy continued even now after the filming is done.
"Of course, we're finished in the Salt Flats," Singer said. "That is the only reason I'm able to talk to you about it now. If you had contacted me Friday, mum would have been the word."
The film's director Gore Verbinsky told Rolling Stone magazine that filming will continue at least through September when Keith Richards is set to tape a cameo.
Singer said there is no date for completion of the film.
Kelsey said the film crew was very responsible for the delicate Salt Flats landscape.
"They were very cognizant of the environmental sensitivity of the Salt Flats," he said. "They kept their set very clean. They did everything we asked to minimize the impact of the salt."
I'm guessing it's for Davy Jones Locker? Hmmmmm
It IS the pearl. That's what the article was about...let me peatse what it said beside the picture...
