I was on http://potc-online.net/ and they just posted that all the pics you see of Jack in asian costumes is FAKE.

Here's the Post:

Alright well I just just found out that the picture of Jack Sparrow in the Asian costume that everyone thought was from the third movie, is OFFICIALLY FAKE

Here is the email:

Now that Comic-Con is over and the costume debuted, the secret is finally being set forth to the public:

The Asian-costumed Jack pictures are...


FAKE


And, yes, this is 100% official.

Toby Markham, aka SithCamaro ( http://www.sithcamaro.com ), is one of the best (and IMHO, THE best) Jack Sparrow cosplayers around. He is well known for his astounding eye for detail and wonderful determination in making his costumes as accurate to the real costumes as possible. Many of his accessories (rings, belts, etc.) have even been created from casts he made off of screen-used items. He took second place in the Zizzle PotC Look-Alike Contest (he woulda taken first if it was based solely on costume).

Every costume he has made (and he has several various Depp character costumes) has taken months upon months to create and perfect, and tons of time, effort, and money to complete. As such, his latest endeavor was to mix things up; create an original-concept costume from his own imaginative mind.

As he has several "connections" to PotC, he of course has had the privilege of seeing things from the upcoming PotC movies before anyone else does. So, of course, he managed to see the Asian costume worn by Chow Yun-Fat as Sao Feng and an Asian costume Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann dons. Based on the basics of these costumes, Toby set out to create his own original-design Captain Jack costume: Jack in Singapore.

Once finished, he took pictures, as he does with all his costumes. Well, wondering what Johnny Depp as Jack would look in such a costume, Toby decided to do a little photoshopping just out of curiosity.

Then the pic of Chow with a fan popped up on the 'Net, and people began to really believe that the Asian Jack costume was for real, based on its similarity to Chow's costume. And not long after, an image of Keira in costume with a Dutch extra yet again reinforced everyone's belief that this just HAD to be for real. But of course, we didn't know that Toby'd already seen such costumes long before those pics of Chow and Keira surfaced, so we couldn't know that the correlation between those and the Asian Jack was different from what we thought.

But alas, it was not meant to be, and Toby debuted his costume to great effect at Comic-Con. Afterward he posted images on his cosplay.com gallery, and since he no longer had to keep the costume a secret, he could tell the true story behind the costume and the photoshopped pics.

Here's a picture of Toby:

(and check out his comment here on what the Chinese characters on the chest mean)

So, once and for all, the Asian Jack photos have been 100% debunked as 100% false.

Just to let you know that the pictures will be removed from this site ASAP






just thought I'd let you all know. confused

sccch
By saying that,your also saying this pic is a fake.

sccch
and this one. Right?

diddly-dum
so if those pics are fake, do you know where ther are real ones??
And DON'T give me anything off wikipedia!

sccch
But the last one I posted CAN'T be a fake. It has the crew and Jack and Barbossa don't see eachother in the 2nd one.

LovelyOne
well damn laughing out loud

there are also loads more pics of him in that costume confused

sccch
I saw Jack in that asian costume WAY before SithCamaro dressed as him.

diddly-dum
sccch is right.
Plus that does look like a new scene. Haven't seen it before in POTC1 or 2!

jdl1224

Ok,this should clear things up. I just got a message from SithCamaro,here's what he said.
"There is only one in the world, and I made it. smile"

jdl1224
so yes, those pics are fake.

sccch
Yeah, but I sent him another message asking him where he came up with the idea.

jdl1224
he saw sao's (sp?) costume and keiras and tried to make up what jacks could look like.

diddly-dum
he did a pretty good job!

evilm0nki3
But I thought I read that they showed him in his asian costume in the clips from Comic-Con?

diddly-dum
Dunno, I'm kinda behind on this stuff.....

sccch
