Pirates of the Caribbean is a series of adventure films directed by Gore Verbinski, written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. They are based on a Walt Disney theme park ride of the same name, and follow Captain Jack Sparrow (portrayed by Johnny Depp), Will Turner (portrayed by Orlando Bloom), and Elizabeth Swann (portrayed by Keira Knightley). The films started with their first release on the big screen on July 9, 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. After the unexpected success of the first film, Walt Disney Pictures revealed that a trilogy was in the works. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was released three years later on July 7, 2006. The sequel proved to be very successful, breaking records worldwide the day of its premiere. In the end it acquired a total of $1,066,179,725 at the worldwide box office, becoming the third and fastest film to reach this amount. The third film in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was released worldwide on May 24, 2007. So far, the film franchise has grossed over $2.79 billion worldwide. In September 2008, Depp signed on for a fourth film in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, set to be released on May 20, 2011.

Development

During the early 1990s,[1] screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio conceived of writing a film based on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Disney had Jay Wolpert write a script based on the ride, which producer Jerry Bruckheimer rejected, feeling it was, "a straight pirate movie."[2] Stuart Beattie was brought in to rewrite the script in March 2002, due to his knowledge of piracy,[3] and later that month Elliott and Rossio were brought in.[2] Elliott and Rossio were inspired by the opening narration of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park ride, and decided to give the film a supernatural edge.[4] As the budget rose, Michael Eisner and Robert Iger threatened to cancel the film, though Bruckheimer changed their minds when he showed them concept art and animatics.[5]

In May 2002 Gore Verbinski signed on to direct Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush signed on the following month to star.[3] Verbinski was attracted to the idea of using modern technology to resurrect a genre that had disappeared after the Golden Age of Hollywood, and recalled his childhood memories of the ride, feeling the film was an opportunity to pay tribute to the "scary and funny" tone of it. Depp was attracted to the story as he found it quirky: rather than trying to find treasure, the crew of the Black Pearl were trying to return it in order to lift their curse; also, the traditional mutiny had already taken place. Verbinski approached Rush for the role of Barbossa, as he knew he would not play it with attempts at complexity, but with a simple villainy that would suit the story's tone.[6] Orlando Bloom read the script after Rush, whom he was working with on Ned Kelly, suggested it to him.[7] Keira Knightley came as a surprise to Verbinski: he had not seen her performance in Bend It Like Beckham and was impressed by her audition.[6] Tom Wilkinson was negotiated with to play Governor Swann,[3] but the role went to Jonathan Pryce, whom Depp idolized.[6]

Shooting for The Curse of the Black Pearl began on October 9, 2002 and wrapped by March 2003.[3] Before its release, many had expected the film to be a flop, as the pirate genre had not been successful for years, that the film was based on a theme park ride, and that Johnny Depp rarely made a big film.[8] However The Curse of the Black Pearl became both a critical and commercial success.

Seeing the film's performance, the cast and crew signed on for two more sequels to be shot back-to-back,[9] a practical decision on Disney's part to allow more time with the same cast and crew.[10] Writer Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio knew that with an ensemble cast, they weren't free to invent totally different situations and characters, as with the Indiana Jones and James Bond series, and so had to retroactively turn The Curse of the Black Pearl into the first of a trilogy.[11] They wanted to explore the reality of what would happen after Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann's embrace at the end of the first film, and initially considered the Fountain of Youth as the plot device.[12] They settled on introducing Davy Jones, the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken, a mythology only mentioned twice in the first film. They also introduced the historical East India Trading Company, who for them represented a counterpoint to the themes of personal freedom represented by pirates.[13]

Filming for the sequels began on February 28, 2005,[14] with Dead Man's Chest finishing on March 1, 2006,[15] and At World's End on January 10, 2007.[16]

Films

The Curse of the Black Pearl

Elizabeth Swann, daughter of the Governor of Port Royal, is kidnapped by the crew of the Black Pearl, led by Captain Hector Barbossa, in order to release a curse placed on them after stealing Aztec gold. Blacksmith William Turner, a childhood friend and secret admirer of Elizabeth, persuades pirate captain Jack Sparrow to help him in the rescue.

Dead Man's Chest

Lord Cutler Beckett, a powerful and ruthless East India Trading Company agent, arrests Will and Elizabeth for aiding Jack Sparrow's escape in the previous movie. Beckett however offers clemency if Will agrees to search for Sparrow and his magical compass. At the same time, Sparrow tries to release himself from an old debt with villainous Davy Jones.

At World's End

Cutler Beckett gains power over Davy Jones, and with the help of Jones' ship, The Flying Dutchman, is now executing his plans to extinguish piracy forever. To combat the East India Trading Company, Will Turner, and the crew of the Black Pearl goes rescuing Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker, because he is one of the nine pirate lords needed to summon an ancient goddess.

On Stranger Tides

On October 7, 2009, author Tim Powers confirmed that Disney bought the rights of his novel On Stranger Tides.[17] As detailed in The Art of the Pirates of the Caribbean, the proposed story for the fourth film is for Jack Sparrow and Barbossa to meet up in the newly founded New Orleans, before they sail to find the Fountain of Youth together.[18] Johnny Depp signed on to return in September 2008,[19] and Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio began writing under the guidance of producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The film is set for release on May 20, 2011.[20]

Geoffrey Rush has confirmed that he will be returning as Barbossa.[21] Keira Knightley has stated that she does not wish to continue playing Elizabeth Swann.[22] Orlando Bloom has also stated that he will not return as Will Turner.[23] Both of them have agreed that their character's storylines have been concluded in At World's End.

In June 2009, Bruckheimer stated Disney would prefer the fourth installment of Pirates be released before The Lone Ranger film, which he, Depp, Elliott and Rossio had been working on for release on May 20, 2011. He also hoped Verbinski would return to direct after his BioShock adaptation had been put on hold.[24]

At San Diego Comic-Con 2009, Bruckheimer stated he intends to begin filming in June 2010.[25] Rob Marshall entered negotiations to direct in August 2009.[26] Hollywood Elsewhere announced a possible steampunk flair in the fourth installment.[27]

On September 11, 2009, at the D23 convention, the title was announced as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides with Johnny Depp in full Jack Sparrow make-up.[28]

In September 2009, Dick Cook, Chairman of Walt Disney Studio Entertainment, resigned after working for Disney for over 38 years.[29] The circumstances of his resignation are unknown, but most speculate he resigned due to his conflicting business tactics with CEO Bob Iger. Iger sought out "new ways of doing business", while Cook remained a traditionalist.[30] After Cook's resignation, Johnny Depp's faith in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has somewhat shaken, with Depp explaining that "There’s a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment. It was all born in that office". Depp also explained Cook was one of the few that accepted his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, claiming that "When things went a little sideways on the first Pirates movie and others at the studio were less than enthusiastic about my interpretation of the character, Dick was there from the first moment. He trusted me."[31]

On November 15, 2009, Disney announced that Johnny Depp would be paid £33 million/$55.5 million/€37.3 million to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, realizing that without him the franchise would be "dead and buried."[32]

On November 17, 2009, it was confirmed that Rob Marshall would direct the film.[33][34][35] On January 7, 2010 it was confirmed by Disney that the film would be released in theaters on May 20, 2011.[36] On January 18, 2010 the governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company Robert Iger and producer Jerry Bruckheimer announced that the film will be filmed in the summer of 2010 on the Hawaiian islands Oahu and Kauai.

Pirate Code of the Brethren

The Pirate Code of the Brethren is a prominent feature in all three films, being very loosely based on the articles of historical pirates.

The Pirate Code of the Brethren was devised by the pirates "Morgan and Bartholomew," who are obscure; they are not members of the Brethren Court in the third film. There was a historical privateer named Henry Morgan and several named "Bartholomew" or some approximation thereof - Bartolomeu Portugues, Bartholomew Sharp and Bartholomew Roberts, for instance. However, the articles of Bartholomew Roberts are among the most well-known real life pirate codes, so the "Bartholemew" mentioned in the Pirate Code of the Brethren more than likely alludes to him.

The Code is acknowledged by all pirates in the series, including undead pirates such as Captain Barbossa. The original Code is contained in a codex in Shipwreck Cove, where Captain Teague maintains it as "the law" and kills violators. However, outside Shipwreck Cove, pirates generally treat the Code as a set of guidelines rather than actual rules.

Among the provisions of the Code revealed in the movies are:

  1. Parley, from the French verb Parler 'to speak'. If a pirate asks another pirate for parley, he must be taken to the latter's captain, and may not be harmed until the parley is complete.
  2. Any man that falls behind is left behind.
  3. It is the duty of the pirate king to declare war, and parley with adversaries during a war.

Historically, 'The Code' did not actually exist. Pirate codes or articles varied.

Reception

Curse of the Black Pearl was 2003's third highest gross in North America (behind The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Finding Nemo) and fourth worldwide (behind Return of the King, Nemo and The Matrix Reloaded).[38] Dead Man's Chest was the highest of 2006 worldwide,[39] and became the third highest-grossing film of all time, behind Titanic and Return of the King. At World's End was 2007's highest gross worldwide.[40]

Both the second and third films set box office records. Dead Man's Chest broke the records for largest opening day gross with $55.8 million, and biggest opening weekend gross with $135.6 million,[41] and would set 15 other box office records, including the fastest film to reach $200 and $300 million, the highest ten-day gross, and the fastest film to reach $1 billion worldwide. However, in 2008 most of the records it held were broken by The Dark Knight.[42] At World's End broke the Memorial Day gross record.[43]
