We zagen eergisteren al de eerste trailer van Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Om dat feit te vieren hield Walt Disney Pictures een speciaal event in Disneyland Anaheim, waar ook regisseur Rob Marshall te zien was. Hij vertelde wat meer over het aankomende avontuur van Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp).
"The story takes us to some different places," aldus Marshall. "which makes it nice that it's not the same old thing. The whole opening and the first third of the film takes place in London. So we start on dry land and there is an impostor that Jack is looking for. He then escapes from the palace, gets captured by King George and there is a huge carriage chase...[W]e set sail and that is sort of the second act. It's a new ship, Blackbeard's ship, the 'Queen Anne's Revenge.' Then Barbossa has a new ship called the 'Providence.' The third act is this incredible jungle adventure through caves where they are looking for the Fountain of Youth."
Dit, zo vertelt hij, is ook te wijten aan het personage van Geoffrey Rush, Captain Barbossa. Hij dient nu namelijk de Engelse koning: "His character is different in this film, because he has joined a different side... which is really shady."
De vierde Pirates of the Caribbean-film moet vanaf 19 mei in de bioscopen draaien.
