When was pirates of the caribbean filmed

Despite this, Johnny Depp ended up nabbing the role. Chocolate powder was used to replicate dirt. In the sword-fighting scene between Will and Jack, filmmakers used chocolate powder as a substitute for real dirt.

Several actors were considered for the role of Will Turner before Orlando Bloom was cast. Johnny Depp improvised one of the last lines in the film. Share this article.

But even the higher-ups at Disney were skeptical about making a movie based off a theme park ride. Therefore, the massive success of The Curse of the Black Pearl actually came as a huge surprise to critics and audiences alike.

But if you think that meant smooth sailing for the rest of the series, think again. The role even earned him an Academy Award nomination for his first outing. Which might make it even more of a shock to hear that Depp thought he was on the verge of getting fired throughout the shoot. They reportedly accused him of being inebriated, ruining the movie, and they even contemplated putting subtitles on the screen whenever the character speaks. However, many of the Pirates movies are also ranked amongst the biggest budgeted movies of all time.

With a worldwide gross over a billion dollars, it still looks like this was money well spent. After co-starring in the critically acclaimed film Atonement , James McAvoy said that the Pirates franchise nearly destroyed Keira Knightley's career. After all, the role of Elizabeth Swann sky-rocketed Knightley to fame overnight. Knightley has even said that being cast into the limelight so suddenly wasn't an experienced she enjoyed. Thankfully, she still got the chance to branch out into more serious work following her blockbuster breakthrough.

While Mickey Mouse will forever be synonymous with Disney, these days, the mascot rarely takes center stage in any movies of his own. Rush came up with a simple enough solution to remedy his fears, which involved standing to the right of Knightley whenever possible.

This would put him on the left side of the screen and -- believing that audiences analyze a movie screen in the same fashion that they read a book -- Rush believed that would have to look at his character first. Reportedly, Beattie even named the character Jack after Jackman, with hopes that he'd eventually get to play the part. Apply market research to generate audience insights.
