First Look: Official Photos From PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES
Here is your first official look at photos from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
The fourth installment of the franchise is from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Rob Marshall starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, Geoffrey Rush and Richard Griffiths.
The king has already recruited Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) to join the mission, meaning Sparrow’s old nemesis has gone corporate, 1750s-century style.
The proposal goes badly, as expected.
Along the road to the Fountain of Youth, Sparrow will meet a friendly mermaid (Astrid Berges-Frisbey) and be tempted by a wicked former flame (Penelope Cruz) and her sadistic father, Blackbeard (Ian McShane) — but there will be no Will and Elizabeth (Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley).
The movie, out May 20, was shot entirely in 3-D, but don’t expect Sparrow to have much more … depth. Depp says the buccaneer is not a soul who evolves and grows.
“Captain Jack is about as fully realized a human as he can be,” Depp says with a laugh. “He’s there. He’s going to stay there. Which is fine.”
Depp shoulders more of the story this time, but he says that will streamline the story. “What’s most interesting about Pirates 4 is you don’t have to connect the dots for these subplots and sub-characters,” Depp says. “It felt like a fresh, clean slate.”
Reckless complication will come in matters of the heart with Cruz’s Angelica, who has a history with Sparrow. “We have our bouts in the film, but there’s also this residue of what might have been. It’s a kind of love-hate thing,” Depp says. “There’s a little flavor of both.”
