PSA for the pirate fandom
Aug. 30th, 2003 02:17 pmBut first: I need your help. Can anyone tell me where I might find a good screen grab or film still of the character Pintel (the actor Lee Arenberg) from PoC?

While searching for the above, I came across this (completely bizarre) website which, to my surprise, has a very detailed description -- sets, research, period, ships, costumes, etc. -- for Pirates of the Caribbean.: http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/pirates_caribbean_about.htm
It also has some interviews with cast and crew that are more interesting than the usual guff. Here's the fightmaster: "Swordplay is a conversation. The opponents talk to each other with their blades. The style of fighting varies with each character. If I can make the sword work talk about what’s happening in the script in the same way the dialogue conveys the story, then I feel I’ve succeeded."
Here is Depp on his character: "In Jack, I saw a guy who was able to run between the raindrops. He can walk across the DMZ, entertain a troop and then sashay back to the other side and tell the enemy another story. He tries to stay on everyone’s good side because he’s wise enough to know he might need them in the future. No matter how bad things got, there was always this sort of bizarre optimism about him. I also thought there was something beautiful and poignant about the idea of his objective. All he wants is to get his ship back, which represents nothing more than pure freedom to him. Of course he’ll thieve and do whatever it takes, especially when the opportunity arises, but his main focus is just to get the Black Pearl back at whatever cost."
Yup, the OTP is the Jack/Ship ship.
And here's a tantalizing bit from Keira Knightly about sequels: "I managed to coax promises from Jerry and Gore that if we do another film together, they will give me a sword."
