Pirate Council

The meeting of pirate lords, held in the Bay of the Lost Ships, has a real basis. True, it was held only once and was called the community "Brotherhood of the Coast". It was a free association of privateers and pirates, active in the 17-18 centuries in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The most famous and active participant of it is considered to be Henry Morgan. It is noteworthy that the brotherhood was based on an island with a familiar name - Tortuga, near Haiti. It was from him Jack Sparrow sails on the "Black Pearl" in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: on the edge of the world." Actors in this part of the franchise embodied some historical images. In particular, on the council there is Ms. Jin in the performance of Takayo Fisher. This really existed personality - a sea robber, got the glory of one of the best and successful pirates. Under her command there were 2,000 ships.

Movie premiere

The viewer will be surprised when he learns that the shooting of the second and third part of the legendary pirate saga took place simultaneously. The purpose of this combination is to save money and time, because the actions took place in the most exotic corners of the world. However, by the autumn of 2006, only 30% of the film "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" was shot. The actors and the whole crew gathered again to continue their work. At that time, the script was not yet finished. However, announcing the release date of the picture, appointing the premiere at the end of May 2007, its creators drove themselves into a very tight time frame and were forced to do everything in the shortest possible time. However, the quality of the film is in no way affected.

Budget

The third part of the fascinating pirate saga became the most expensive, and not only compared to the rest of her films. At the moment - this is the most expensive picture, shot in Hollywood, the total budget of which is 300 million dollars. This is due to many factors. First, natural shooting, which took place in the Bahamas, Bermuda, Singapore. Secondly, the desire of the creators of the film to present to the viewer as much as possible of bright emotions and impressions with the help of the naturalness of the image. For example, in order to illuminate the bay of the Dead ships, I had to light 3,500 candles. And in order to create the effect of torrential rain in the picture "Pirates of the Caribbean: on the edge of the world", the actors were forced to stand under tons of water (100 thousand liters per minute), which watered the ships. Thirdly, the actors' fees also make up a significant part of the entire budget of the film. It's no secret that Hollywood stars of the first magnitude took part in it. In particular, for the role of the most charismatic and memorable pirate in the four parts of the franchise, Johnny Depp earned about $ 350 million, taking into account the interest earned from the hire.

Davy Jones

A fictional character is one of the main antagonists in the third film. His role in individual episodes is played by an English actor, winner of numerous awards Bill Nighy. Davy Jones was once an ordinary pirate, but his life abruptly changed the patroness of sailors - the goddess Calypso. Falling in love with her, he agreed to an uneasy service consisting in the transfer of the souls of people who died in the sea to the next world, with the right to go ashore only once every ten years.

His appearance of a half-man and half of a sea monster he found as a result of a curse. The image of the captain of the "Flying Dutchman" was developed very carefully, collecting the features of the most diverse representatives of the flora and fauna of the sea. To implement it on the screen, it took four people, including Bill Nighy, who in the film appears as a man literally for 20 seconds. The rest of the time is a 3D model created thanks to computer technology, but the eyes and lips are a make-up actor.

Jack Sparrow's father

Who can be more charming and cocky at the same time, except for the captain of the "Black Pearl"? Perhaps, only his father. In an interview with reporters D. Depp repeatedly said that he copied the image of Jack Sparrow from the legendary musician of the group "The Rolling Stones" Keith Richards. Strictly speaking, the invitation of the rock legend to the project was only a matter of time, and to the third film the question of his participation was settled. Keith Richards appears only in several episodes of the picture "Pirates of the Caribbean: on the edge of the world." Actors, often coming once, remain in the project for a long time. So the musician did not limit himself to one film, but took part in the fourth part of the franchise and is thinking about the fifth.
