No mate, there's three of'm here Impresside chain by the way :)

Uhm..no, not thát dumb

WONDERFUL! Thanks for the link, this is something that was missing yet :)

OK, i thought it would be something like that but i've never really heard about it :) I only know what the average person knows, not so at home at the hows and what's of actual film making, i wish i did it's highly interesting :)

OK, i feel real dumb but what is a table read precisely?

Oh god..how much will it be? It's fantastic..saving starts now, and i'm already saving for the Elf Fantasy Fair, i want to buy a cutlass, if they have one and not too expensive. I may just leave that, i want this baby WOOHOOO... One thing though...Jackie's on the wrong shoulder!

I feel different. I have had my share of "stars meeting" , mostly musicians, who turned out to be complete *ssh*les and i didn't really care. I just drop them and that's it, but meeting actors, which i have (most wonderful experience, Tim Russ/Mr. Tuvok from Star Trek) has upto now been a wonderful experience. And, the thing is, to find out they are just normal people with normal likes and dislikes is precisely what makes me like an actor. I cannot stand the "I'm a star" crap, the more normal they are the more wonderful and the more i respect them. I find there is nothing more fun then to spend time with a so called "star" finding out he or she is very down to earth and talk about average things, hobbies, likes or dislikes or whatever :) Take Geoffrey Rush, he wrote me a very nice letter, hand written, that makes me respect him, he's a friendly and down to earth man. I would love to see him in person sometimes but wouldn't gravely intrude into his privacy, it's a shame so many do and i cannot blame them if that turns them less open and friendly!

That's so cool, and normal LO i am so obsessed i have a little mini photo album in my backpack with me always with my favorite screencaptures as real photo's, digital photo service is so good for such things :) And...i'm on air today a friend at the Gspot group bought me the Barbossa figure WAHOOOOOOO.. LOL. I am going to bu a nice something for her tomorrow, just gotta show her my appreciation this is so nice of her Oh by the way, Captain Jack fans might want to start saving... Captain Jack Sparrow statue

Pirate Marty wrote it in his newsletter that today they start shooting today, i guess he meant the table read (or is that the same? , i'm not at home with all the technical names & things of film making) WOOHOO... Exciting :)

Oh yeah....wanna know which pic is right by my bed? (along with many others..) and i look at it very often...this one Oh i love that look..and i swear, even like that he may wake me at night As Geoff is doing Candy now i guess it's as Bess said but i cannot help but hope we get enough of him in POTC 2 to satisfie atleast until the POTC 3

*sigh*...I payed 85 bucks for the two, one with two sides and another with the same side with necklace. It's including the postage and due to one arriving broken i have actually three coins but still..this is SO much cheaper..

Ohh the excitement To actually know they're starting, and to see info on the new movie even if it's possibly wrong. It's knowing it's mentioned..it's "out there". Thanks Bess

Oh god..you're quite a tease yourself..what an image you've installed in my mind now

Uhm..yeah..i know that LOL, i was just making a joke..

What is it with people wanting to EAT good looking men? I can think of a lot more fun things to do with them and it's possible a lot of times if you want..eat'm and they're gone!

As cool i thought it first to be for this movie, i have to agree if it's something that portrays those people as cannibals they have the right to be upset about it or just not like it and yes, if it was a much larger group like Africans or American Indians it's called political incorrect so i think there's a lot of hypocrisy in this. As for the quote, it's very refreshing to hear an American say this! Don't get me wrong i have very close American friends, nothing personal here but i was watching a documentary about the horrible human rights in China and how women get abused and repressed etc, and i thought if human rights and freedom are so important for the American state/army to fight against when will they go help those Asian women over in China (and other countries) to be free? Human rights get violated in Asia more then anywhere but no one seems to care and that is NOT a small country...

More insights on the Keith Richards thing, more news and GREAT news on an official fansite for the trilogy! Are Disney's "Pirates" sequels about to set sail without Keith Richards? It's less than two weeks 'til production is actually due to begin on those two high-anticipated follow-ups to "The Curse of the Black Pearl." But -- based on what Jim Hill has been hearing lately -- this Rolling Stone vet may have already passed on the opportunity to play Capt. Jack Sparrow's pop. Plus other "Pirates" -related news. by Jim Hill Late last fall, it was all that "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" fans could talk about. The rumor that Keith Richards -- the rock legend who supposedly inspired Johnny Depp's performance in the first "Pirates" picture -- had agreed to play Capt. Jack Sparrow's dad in the sequels. Well, with less than two weeks to go 'til the official start of production, word has begun leaking out of producer Jerry Bruckheimer's office that it might be a bit premature to definitively say that the Rolling Stones vet is definitely going to appear in "Dead Man's Chest" as well as the yet-to-be-named third fim in the series. "What's the problem?," you ask. Well, it appears that Disney's reps & Keith's people can't quite come to terms over what Richards' share of the "Pirates" booty should be. Given that Depp is reportedly recieving more than $20 million (as well as a chunk of the picture's back end) to reprise his role as Capt. Jack, Keith was supposedly looking for a similiar sized check to play Johnny's pappy. And -- given that Richards was only supposed to spend four days shooting his part of the picture (Whereas Depp will be on-set for the full 8-to-10 months that "Pirates II" & "III" are in production) -- Well ... I guess you can understand why the Mouse might be reluctant to give this rock star a seven figure salary for what is basically a glorified cameo. That said ... Folks close to Bruckheimer's production office still say that it's still way too early to count Keith out. "We're going to try & keep the lines of communication open," said one un-named insider."With the hope that -- sometime between now and the end of October -- we can come to some sort of financial arrangement that both sides can live with. We still very much want Keith Richards to be a part of these pictures. To have Sparrow father & son on screen together. But -- as of this moment -- the numbers just aren't lining up. Maybe further on down the line, they will." If this bit of bad press weren't bad enough ... Disney also finds itself dealing with Charles Williams, the chief of the Carib Indians. Who is said to be upset with the scenes for the sequel that will be shot on his home island of Dominica. Which will reportedly feature cannibalism. Which Williams sees an insult to the island's indigenous people. Said one clearly frustrated member of the "Pirates" production team: "Talk about making something out of nothing. We're not shooting a documentary that alleges that the Carib Indians ever indulged in cannibalism. We're shooting a big budget fantasy film where pretend pirates are threatened by pretend cannibals. Though officials from Walt Disney Pictures have yet to officially comment on this somewhat sensitive issue, Bruckheimer's people are reportedly already talking with the film's director -- Gore Verbinksi -- about what they can possibly do to deal with Williams' complaints. After all, changing the shooting location for these back-to-back sequels isn't really an option this late in the game. By that I mean: Given that "Pirates" is supposed to shoot on Dominica for six-to-eight weeks, set construction for the films has already been underway for quite some time now. Okay ... Enough with the bad news coming out of the "Pirates II" & "III" production offices. How would you folkslike to hear some good news associated with these two films? Well, for starters, all you "Pirates" fans out there better start making room on your book shelves. For I hear that Jason Surrell (AKA the author of such well-received volumes as "The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies" and "Screenplay by Disney") has not one but two "Pirates" related books in the works. The first volume -- tentatively titled "Pirates of the Caribbean: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies" -- will reportedly hit bookstore shelves sometime this fall. While a yet-untitled follow-up (which will cover the production of all three "Pirates" films) will be released in the Spring of 2007. Just before the third film in the trilogy rolls into theaters. Also ... Speaking of fun "Pirates" - related stuff that we can all look forward to ... I hear that an official fan site for the "Pirates" trilogy will soon be popping up on the web. Given the folks who are associated with this project, I think that I can safely predict that this new website will be a hell of a lot of fun to visit. So -- as soon as I know the official URL -- I'll be sure and pass that info along to JHM readers. Anyway ... That's pretty much it for today's "Pirates" related news. In the meantime, I'll keep you posted on what's going on with Disney's negotiations with Mr. Richards & Chief Williams. Though I can't help but think that both of these issues could be quickly dealt with were the Mouse to hire a real cannibal to to meet with Keith & Charles. By that I mean: Wouldn't you be in a hurry to reach a settlement if the person across the table from you were to say something like: "Please sign on the dotted line. Otherwise I'll eat your spine." Your thoughts?

Hmm, you've got a point there...

No comment LOL. Not my type, but then we're all different I'll stick with Barbossa :)

That's bound to happen, i think everyone who's got a little know how will always try to choose actors who can play together well. It wasn't a bad movie..just somehow didn't get me, but i have to be honest, i've seen it only once. I'll watch it again, might like it the second time around :)

They're talking series 2 already? Heck, series one isn't even out It's about time they did!

FABO! They're brilliant, you did a good job :) Thanks for sharing!

I was under the impressions it's about resistance against the British suppression, more like terrorists then pirates. I wasn't too crazy about it but as always the little bit of Geoffrey in it was performed well.

ROTFLMAO Joshua, well said! I find it rediculous too, sheesh lighten up already. If it's in their history, don't be so secret about it it's not as if they do it now! (atleast one would hope... )

Someone in the Pirates_of_the_Caribbean yaho group who says she has a friend in Hollywood posted this: <<The casting agents are currently (as of 2/2/05) looking for the following types: Piratical-looking men who are lean and hungry-looking, especially African-Americans (long dreadlocks a plus!), mixed race and character-looking skinny Caucasian guys. Nobody overweight -- must look as if you live on rum and vegetables. These need to be good actors; acting background is preferred. They need a LOT of pirates. Most of these will be sent to the Caribbean for location filming. Need a lot of Asian male pirates -- also very thin and lean. Need a LOT of African or African-American people (male and female) with very dark skin, very lean, no body fat, for the voodoo scenes. Need Thai, Indonesian, Filipino, Pacific Islander or Asian people (male and female) for the cannibal scenes -- need about 150 people. Some of these could be speaking roles. Need a weathered-looking older Arabic man to play an elderly Bedouin. He needs to be very angular and thin -- can be in his 40s or 50s, but needs to look older, 60s or 70s. This is definitely a principal role. He will be taught how to act if he doesn't know how -- they just need someone who looks the part.>>>>> Sounds very interesting and i suddenly have a vision..i think at the end, voodoo scenes..you see Barbossa coming back alive, and then...it's over. It would be promising and very interesting LOL..
