fascinating. filming with a script? barbossa's first name made up as a joke by jd? the fountain of youth found in fla??/ that should be a quick trip for them.

Funny you mention that, Kate, because I was all mixed up on locales once everyone made it to the Locker. When they went back, were they just still near Singapore, or were they back in the Caribbean? Where exactly is Shipwreck Cove? So depending where the battle took place, Jack and Barbossa may indeed have a long trip ahead of them if they want their sunny Florida vacation together. I hear Barbossa is dying to ride the ET ride at Universal.

Did you have any idea about the whole Hector thing? How would that even enter someone's mind as a joke? Hector Barbossa just flows so well and it is neither too sweet nor too menacing.

What I really want to know is if, to get into character, Bill Nighy started beating up Naomie Harris to give her her infamous bruises. Lol.
Fun ways to "get into character on the POTC set:"

1. Keira: After a long ordeal of practicing her ever-growing stunt repetoire, she reports first to Jack Davenport's trailer. He is surprised to see her, but settles into the moment when she starts making out with him. She then goes to Chow Yun Fat/Yun Fat Chow's trailer and repeats the process. She moves on to Johnny's trailer where he makes sure Vanessa has taken the kiddies into town for the day. Finally, she knocks at Orlando's trailer where they "rehearse" for a long long time.

2. Johnny: After Keira leaves, Johnny gets a text from Vanessa saying she will be a little later but the kids want to hear him do Jack Sparrow again. Deciding to warm up, Johnny downs a few bottles of Captain Morgan. His stagger is all too real and he has forgotten all about his American accent for the day.

3. Orlando: Orlando is a little squeamish at the sight of fake blood, so he knocks at Bill Nighy's trailer. He squats down by the air conditioning vent and Bill practices stabbing him with a large tree branch. Orlando fakes his death scene with great panache, and finally feels prepared to do it during filming. He thanks Bill and leaves, taking the opportunity to bring flowers to his makeup artist for giving him such a cool scar at the end of the movie. All he has to wait on now is the next time Keira feels the need to get into character.

4. Geoffrey Rush: After a few hours of picking on Johnny, he decides to visit Mooshky, the monkey. He gives it treats and speaks baby talk to it for a while before checking on his hygeine. He has forgone a shower and shave for a few days and looks appropriately gnarled.

5. Naomie: Naomie withdraws from the rest of the cast, preferring they view her as a mystery woman. She starts getting her voodoo dolls out of her innocently-labeled "toy chest." She decides to pick on Jack Davenport for the day, making his doll feel the urge to go seduce Johnny. She laughs.

6. Jack Davenport: After a cold shower upon thinking of Johnny in a strange way, he sits in his trailer and watches old episodes of his short-lived television series UltraViolet. "Hey, I'm in it for all of 5 minutes. I don't need to prepare anything. Keira was already over for a visit."

7. Bill Nighy: Bill taped a photo of Naomie on his punching bag and started using his crab claw as a bat. He is surly to Orlando and Johnny and indifferent to Keira, who did NOT kiss him. He decides to eat order some calamari for lunch. He orders his personal assistant, Mike, to go get it for him. After Mike brings it back, Bill starts playing with it and making it say his own lines. He picks up another squid and begins directing a very interesting porno.

8. Kevin: Kevin reads up on all stories of the sea. After he feels he can annoy everyone, he names his teddy bear prop Gary, after screen legend Gary Oldman, who was offered the part of Eyeless Joe but declined, feeling the script was not intelligent enough. Soon, Kevin knows Johnny will be at his door to order him about and slap him. The girls playing the whores are running late.

9. Gore: Gore knows he has a lot to film today. Keith Richards slipped some kind of Agent X into his coffee, and he feels a little weird, but decides to press on. Today he has to film a whole third of the movie out of order, but decides the editing department can fix all of that. Keira has come to him to once again b*tch about certain contents of the script, but she sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher. T&T will come by later to taunt him and call him "college boy." He decides to go shoot hoops with Orlando.

10. T&T: T&T show up at about 3 in the afternoon, where there is only about 2 more hours left of filming in the day's schedule. They watch several scenes being filmed, recording their comments to use for the dvd's commentary later on so they don't have to watch the movie a second time. They are most pleased about Tom Hollander, who has been an absolute gentleman, not kicking those kids who mistook him for Gimli. Tom comes up and tells them how excited he is about his cinematic death scene. T&T smile and nod and after Tom leaves, roll their eyes and call him a shmuck. They throw acorns at Johnny, Keira, and Orlando and make obscene gestures when Bill and Naomie have their scene together. Finally, Gore tells them that security will be arriving to escort them off the set. They beg him to stay, not calling him "college boy" for once. Ted walks off with Scarlett and Terry walks off with Giselle, bragging that they once wrote a delightful little film called Shrek.

HAHAHAHAHAH oh gee... this had better continue. I loved the T&T bit best... hahahaha....

LOL! these are funny! (what willo wrote)

fascinating! (on imdb)

very interesting facts.

lol Those are so funny, Willo. You really captured Ted & Terry.

LMAO

Have I left anyone out? Oh well.

Post-filming Wrap Party

Keira: Skimping on the toga and going for something a little more elegant, Keira brings that weird guy from Pride and Prejudice who plays Mr. Wickham to the party. Now that she is of age, she orders a white wine spritzer and flirts with the hired bartender and catering staff. She gets a message that T&T will be fashionably late as usual, giving her enough time to demand certain things happen in POTC4 in order for her to stay.

Johnny: Johnny hides in a corner, feeling naked without his dreadlocks and bandana. Something about going back to just Johnny saddens him. When asked what's wrong, his answer is always the same: just go get me a martini. He strikes up conversation with a guy named Ug who has just agreed to give him another tattoo that says "POTC Wrap Party: 2007." He forces a smile.

Orlando: After playing 7 Minutes in Heaven (well, 10 minutes) in the closet with Naomie, he hunts down Johnny and marvels at the new tattoo. He shows him the one he and the guys got while working on LOTR. Johnny says he's seen it a million times. Not one to be outdone, Orlando finds Ug and gets a tattoo of Keira's leg on his forearm. He screams, but half of that scream is in delight, for this will be a tattoo for the ages with just enough shock value.

4. Geoffrey: Never one for parties, Geoffrey finds two college girls that crashed the party. He reminds them he was once in films that actually won awards like "Shine" and "Elizabeth." They coo and offer themselves to him. Anxious to leave, he grabs his coat from the closet, running into Naomie in her second round of 7 Minutes in Heaven. He politely says excuse me and puts one arm around each girl, who tells him their names are Phoebe and Tina. Just as his hand reaches the doorknob, Gore walks in and begs Geoffrey to stay, saying he will not pay him if he walks out now. Geoffrey sighs and tells the girls to wait. Gore talks about how he's always wanted to direct a Star Wars movie. Geoffrey looks at his watch.

5. Naomie. She can cross Orlando and Jack Davenport off her list. She leaves the closet and begins looking for someone else. She toys with the idea of inviting Keira to play, but Keira is busy playing beer pong and going "woooo! Check out my washboard abs!" Sighing, she grabs some cake. Geoffrey is surrounded by Gore and two college girls. She strolls over, knowing she'll snag at least one of them.

6. Jack Davenport. Surprised he was invited to the party since Jonathan wasn't, he quickly gets himself a Jack&Coke. He notices most everyone is too drunk to talk to the press. Staggering over to them, he talks about the film, using the words "sexpert" and "Family Guy." After waving them off, he smiles. The Norribeth rumor is going splendidly. He gets a call from Sailorleo saying she knows where a bigger rave is going on. Knowing she will be in her trademark leather dress with no underwear, he speeds away.

7. Bill Nighy: Ah, it's his night to shine. Everyone keeps raving about his performance, hands down some of his best work. He takes a seat and writes a letter to the creative minds behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, telling them they can burn in hell because he's found his niche. Orlando comes to greet him, joking about burning him with the hot tea while filming a scene together. "That's okay, I could always just stab you again," Bill jokes. He's excited about POTC4. However, Orlando reminds him that his character won't be in POTC4. Bill flies into a rage. Most everyone just laughs it off.

Kevin: Kevin watches Keira play beer pong and wants to learn how to play. When he asks her, she says she will teach him another drinking game. After making him pat his head while simultaneously rubbing his stomach, she says the next step is for him to sing a showtune. Wanting to be the best drunk ever, he belts out "Everything's Comin Up Roses." People start throwing things at him.

Gore: Gore is on top of the world, glad he topped whoever the hell directed Spider-Man 3 at the box office. Everyone knows summer blockbusters get the Best Director Oscar. When asked by Johnny what is next for Jack, Gore strokes his new devil beard and says, "Whatever Disney says." Johnny punches him in the face. Gore, thinking only Johnny is drunk when in fact everyone else is, laughs and calls him a swell guy. Johnny now feels bad and gives him a comic book.

T&T: Finally there, they scratch themselves and see who can do the best impression of Rosie O'Donnell. Gore, trying to be a nice guy, raises his glass to toast them for their writing. Ted starts crying but is told by Terry to suck it up. They've brought a slide show explaining precisely how Will Turner's curse works and the detailed history of the Flying Dutchman but unfortunately, Keira poured beer all over the projector and thus ruined it. They talk about their upcoming project, "Tarzan," in which Tarzan is now a young Eskimo boy raised by polar bears rather than apes. This scares most of the press away. NOW it's a party. They pour vodka in the punch bowl and start passing out the weed.

LOL these are soo funny

ROFL!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOVE IT!!!!!

More?

Ooh, I'm not feeling very creative today. Plus I don't know what other behind-the-scenes events I can do. Why doesn't someone else try their hand at it and I'll jump in?

man oh man, i gots to write a paper.

maybe these will get your creative juices flowing, if not, i'll try one tomorrow or something...


-traditional "bring your partner to the set day", where all the actors/crew get to bring their current love to the set and show them around

-emergency late night meeting called when T and T STILL can't decide on the ending for film 3, and everyone is sleepily suggesting things...

-the first meeting for all the actors to read over the script for film 4

-Hurricane party.

-How the cast handles a steady flow of setbacks during a normal filming day.

Kate, those are awesome ideas! I'll let something inspire me. Okay, I got one. This is just the trio.

(Johnny, Keira, and Orlando on the set of AWE, discussing a scene)

Johnny: I say, we ad-lib and instead of pointing our guns at each other, we'll all turn on Geoffrey at once. It'll be funny.

Keira: I don't know. The script says we all point our guns at each other only for them to not work.

Johnny: That's right. I forgot you want that second Oscar nomination. Orli, you settle it.

Orlando: Um, I'm all for ad-libbing, but I think instead of ganging up on Geoffrey, we should just keep switching who we point them at.

Keira: I don't like that.

Orlando: Fine. Whatever Johnny says is what I'm going with.

Johnny: Ooh, guess I win.

(Gore stomps in.)

Gore: You there! Trained monkeys! T&T changed the script on you again. Turns out, the whole gun scene is actually comic relief and doesn't reveal any plot twists at all.

Orlando: Surprise, surprise.

Gore: I don't like your mouth, mister. Anyways, just follow the script on that one and ad-lib only the vital scenes so lots of fans will have questions later. You're all on in 5.

Keira: Did you know he had me do my scene with Chow without a script?

Johnny: That tool!

Orlando: I concur.

Johnny: All right. We'll stick to the script, and then we'll open fire on Gore. Everyone good with that?

Keira: I am!

Orlando: I am!

Johnny: All right. Hands in the middle. (They all put their hands on top of each other) Who has a break down?

Orlando: Will Turner!

Keira: Um...ooh! I saw a seagull fly by.

Johnny: Seagull on three. 1 2 3...

All: Seagull!

HAHHAHAHA Seagull..... tee heee. loved it. ad-libbing the important scenes. brilliant.

lol!

so that's what happened.. they adlibbed it all! *gasp*

Yeah, they read the mysterious real script and tossed it aside in favor of "their" movie.

Ah, love it!

willlo, you're a comic genious...

Aw, thanks. These take a while, though. Go on the sparrabeth thread to see how T&T get some of their wackier ideas.

More fun with the trio


(They are rehearsing, holding their scripts)

Keira: "Jack, this is real. We're here."

Johnny: I'm not feeling this scene.

Orlando: I know. I'm doing absolutely nothing in it.

Keira: Nobody is. I mean, it's a rescue! We should be fighting crab people and slapping Jack sane like in Airplane.

Johnny: I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll show Gore our version.


Days later

Gore: Okay, guys, what do you got?


(scene is normal until Elizabeth says her line)

Keira: "Jack, this is real. We're here." (pause) "Look behind you!"

Orlando: "What are those crab things?" (draws sword) "To arms!"

Jack: "Don't worry! I know how to hold them off. I speak their language. Ahem. Guten tag."

(they draw their swords and start slashing invisible things)

Gore: What the hell was that?

Johnny: That's acting, pal.

Gore: This isn't an action scene.

Orlando: It is now. We have swords!

Gore: It's not in the script.

Keira: Gore, I can't win an Oscar from this movie the way it is. I can't even get nominated...again.

Gore: No, T&T will shove me into a locker if I go against them. Plus, Disney is putting a lot of money into their script. We have to stick with it.

Johnny: I HATE DISNEY! (starts crying. Orlando and Keira hug him)

hahaha... sometimes, i hate disney too!

haha, funny

LOOOOOOL! This is just like the good ol' days when someone would start a thread and it would turn into funny bits of deleted scenes and role plays. I think we should keep it alive...this fun spirit died for a while after AWE. NOW IT'S BACK AGAIN

iLike:

WTF? "So locations wouldn't have to be revisited by the crew, some scenes were filmed during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)."

"They started filming without a finished script."

eh.. "The cast and crew filmed off of the coast of Southern California in the South Bay Area"

Where'd THAT come from? "There was an actual council of pirates at one time in history."

wTF? "The film is the first in the series in which Capt. Barbossa's first name, Hector, is said. Interestingly, the writers did not initially plan on giving the character a first name: on the commentary for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), Johnny Depp jokingly said that Barbossa's name was Hector; this comment was misinterpreted by fans to be the character's actual name, and thus left the writers to feel that they had no choice but to include it in the series."

Ow either way.. "Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp's character, waits a whole 33 minutes before making his on-screen entrance."

HaHA, I lived a major portion of my life there. They're illuding to that he's from Miramer. "SPOILER: At the end of the film, Barbossa suggests to his crew that they go looking for the Fountain of Youth, but is prevented from doing so since the relevant portion of the map has been stolen. Next we see Jack Sparrow, in his dinghy, turning the rings of the map to form a chalice and the location of the Fountain of Youth marked by an X. The X marks Florida, where ironically, Captain Jack Sparrow lives to this day at Disney World. Another reason why it marks Florida is because St. Augustine, Florida (the nation's oldest city) is the host city to what Spanish explorers (specifically Juan Ponce de Leon) believed to be the Fountain of Youth. Tourists still visit the site to this day."

Oh man, I forgot about these. This is back when we contemplated about T&T on pot. Let's see...I want to bring this back.

(Behind the scenes during the brethren court scene)

Johnny: (to Keira) Nice hat.

Keira: It's not my fault the costume department measured my head wrong. It's in keeping with the time period.

Johnny: And what time period would that be?

Keira: (growls) You shouldn't whisper to me while we're filming! You'll get us in trouble.

Johnny: Don't worry about it. The fans that want our characters together will love it.

Kevin: You know, I'm getting really tired of not having much of a story in this one. I'm going to throw in "sea turtles" at some point.

(Geoffrey finishes his speech about freeing Calypso)

Kevin: Sea turtles!

Gore: Cut! What the hell, Kevin? Do you know how many people are in this room? Do you know how hard this is to film?

Kevin: (kicks the sand on the floor) Just tryin' to get a story put in.

Gore: We'll edit it out and pick up where we left off.

Geoffrey: Won't that confuse people? I don't want this to be a movie that's hard to follow.

Gore: Well, who's the director and who's the actor that we graciously invited back for the last movie? Action.

(they start filming the scene where Elizabeth is voted King)

Keira: "Prepare every vessel that floats for at dawn, we're at war."

Gore: And cut. Very well done, Keira. (looks at Keith who is still strumming his guitar) Why can't you be more like her?

Keith: Fsdfiouwnt adfoin. (sticks tongue out)

Johnny: Freakin' genius! I LOVE that guy! (hugs Keith)

Orlando: (sitting in a chair off-screen) So anyhoo, remember me, your action star here?

I am never able to bring attention to Will and Orlando Bloom, like I thought was a main point of the story. They put all that attention to Elizabeth/Keira and Jack/Johnny.

Willo....you amaze me. LOL to Orlando AND Johnny.

I got one.

Bring your partner to set day!! YAY!

Johnny(kinda bored): So this is the showers...where people who aren't me and don't have showers in their trailer take showers...and this is the bathroom. And this is where we keep the monkey.

Vanessa: Oh the monkey is so cute.

Johnny: Anyways this is the Black Pearl!

*leans on the helm*

Vanessa: Oh Captain Sparrow...

Johnny: The one and only baby...

(cut to Keira)

Keira: And I told Johnny absolutely not...I had my own snuggle buggle bug (makes baby voices)

Mr. Wickam: So is there any rich guys here with rich sisters?

Keira (confused): About every single male here is rich and has probably got some long lost sister why?

Mr. Wickam: Nothing u should be worrying your little head with.

Keira: Oh look it's johnny and vanessa! Hey guys...

(johnny and vanessa look a bit dishelved)

Johnny: Hey! (whispers to keira) you're lucky I haven't mentioned anything about your whipped cream attempts to vanessa...she would kick your skinny behind.

*flashback*

Keira chasing Johnny with a can of whipped cream.

Keira: Come on johnny...lets have a whipped cream fight...if u don't do it I'll have to ask orlando!! He looks like a pansy when he's covered in whipped cream..

Johnny: Get away from me you...whipped cream murderess! You took my character's ability to vote for himself. WHAT ELSE DO U WANT FROM ME???

Keira: It's just a little whipped cream...

Johnny: And you're just an innocent little girl...I'm not falling for that trick

*End flashback*

Keira: Oh look orlando with...who IS that? KAte Beckinsale???

Kate (to Johnny): HOW COULD YOU? (slaps him and walks away)

Vanessa: Who was SHE? (slaps him and walks away)

Orlando(laughs): My evil plan to ruin johnny's life is working!!!

Mr. Wickam: Say isn't that Mr. Darcy's younger sister?

Johnny (leans against helm with hand on a hip)

Keira, Kate and Vanessa: Oh Captain Sparrow!

Johnny: The one and only darlings. Now Keira...where IS that whipped cream of yours?

Orlando: Gah!


Okay that one just flowed on....another one:

(filming the WE kiss)

Gore: Orlando you gotta put some back into it...like so...

(grabbs Keira dips her and kisses her...french style)

Keira: Goodbye willy boy...helloooo gore!

(Gore rolls eyes and goes back to his chair)

Keira (whispers): I think we need some ad-lib...I don't like this scene.

orlando: What's not to like?

Keira: It's cheesy!

Will: And kissing johnny to save me wasn't?

Keira: Well NO! (to gore) Can I like be swinging on a rope when we do this...or like be like falling down like a mast or something?

Gore: Just play the scene.

Keira: But I really want my oscar nomination this year! Can orlando and I have sex in a library?

Orlando: Finally!

Gore: I'll meet you half way...

Keira: Keep talking.

Gore: You, orlando, beach, magical victoria's secret garb and a leg-double.

Keira: The leg double better have nice legs.

Lol! That was great. Orlando's an evil genius and Keira's obsessed with the Oscars. Leg double? Lol! I should have thought of that! Awesome.

clap

hysterical
all of the initials that have anything to do with laughing!!!!!!!!!!!clap

hysterical
