On Stranger Tides Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 It's now 2012... and several places are saying PotC is possible but in the works. One site stated the title was PotC: Beyond the Seas World. Now... that title sounds just so unlike a PotC title. And too reflective of At World's End. The plot and supposed story sounded even worse with Will and Elizabeth returning which we all know that both Knightley and Bloom will not return for future films. I guess we shall see. I still am keeping watch for a Blackbeard's ghost possibility. Perhaps Will and Elizabeth's son jumping in on the story, too? I was told Depp wasn't so sure about taking on another PotC film as Jack and wanted to do another film with Angelina Jolie... well, I like our very own Black Syren's idea where if ever her character was played by anyone, it would be Angelina Jolie. Or maybe the return of Cruz to reprise her role as Angelica. Perhaps we will see someone portray one of Blackbeard's "Wives", Aldetha Stowcroft. Well... we shall see what goes. ~Lady B Actually, Orlando has sed hed jump at the chance to be in the next pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grymm Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I always wanted to see Rowley Birkin QC rock up in PoTC as a Hanging Judge and mebbe even Sparrows Granddad Depp was a big fan of The Fast Show and even did a cameos on a couple of shows, pretty sure he knicked a bit of Rowley for Capt'n Jack One of my fav Rowley sketches Of course I was ver ver drunk Edited March 27, 2012 by Grymm Lambourne!

CandyCotton Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 If they're taking historical pirates for inspiration who better to be a female counter point to Jack than Anne Bonny? Nobody actually knows what happened to her after Calico Jack was hung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Wow. Who would they get to play Anne Bonny? It would have to be someone feisty.

CandyCotton Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Well, I'm not aware that there's a shortage of feisty actressess in Hollywood ^^ I'm sure they could find someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Jim Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yeah, but it's Hollywood and they could end up picking some feisty "popular" now actress who would end up ruining a great role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I figured that from the outset (drawing power always trumps appropriateness in Hollywood when they can afford it), but it still begs the question... Who should play Anne Bonny? Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know."

Mission Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 How about Emma Stone? (She's awesome and she can play anything.)

CandyCotton Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 How about Emma Stone? (She's awesome and she can play anything.) That was my first thought too, she's also pretty enough (Anne was supposed to have been a knockout even by today's standards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Jim Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Personally i think emma stone has the wrong "look" about her. she seems too...flawless....the salt air would not leave skin looking so "perfect". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyCotton Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 You mean how Kiera Knightly was so less than perfect in the first 3 movies? This is Disney, not a documentary, lol. They should put the best looking and most capable actress they can find ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Too bad Edward James Olmos isn't a woman. According to Wicked Jim's theory, he would be perfect. Hollywood isn't about to use a woman with a bad complexion in such a role. It doesn't play well with the general public. I remember seeing Shrek with a girl and she didn't like the movie because Fiona "turned ugly" at the end of the story. And this was not a vapid, flighty girl but a woman with a Masters degree and more than a little savvy. Although I never thought Emma Stone was stunning or anything. She's just got that fiestiness about her that would work with lines like "If you'd have fought like a man you needn't hang like a dog" (Yes, yes, it's Read's line.) while still having the humor to see what Depp saw in his character. OTOH, if you wanted to make her deadly serious, you'd probably want a different actress. OTOOH, if you wanted to make her deadly serious, you wouldn't put her in a POTC movie.

Wicked Jim Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 HAHAHA...ok i retract any and all statements herein contained....hell...i didn't mean bad skin....you how the 1st POTC had a more gritty feel to it? Before they decided to wash and package jack sparrow for mass consumption? Before they realized that the project would become a franchise, when they were only making one movie? i STILL retract everything. here's where i'm told..."oh they were always going to make more than one...etc etc etc" *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I see your point, but with women in movies it's sort of different. (Which you could legitimately argue is not necessarily a good thing.) Then again, Depp had to fight for his gold teeth and scruffy appearance in the first movie. I read somewhere or another that they wanted him to be clean and purty.

Wicked Jim Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Mission, i LOVE Depp's take on Sparrow..pure genius...and considering how he used to NEVER play the same role twice you could guarantee that he would give 100% to the individuality of the character. My suggestion was that the actress who would be chosen to play Anne would HAVE to have an equal amount of grit...grit in her heart, soul, AND appearance to truly make the role unique and alive.

Wicked Jim Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 i'm SURE you know this already, but have you seen the deleted scenes where Jack shows elizabeth the heroin track marks on his arm whehn they're marooned on the island? man.. THAT'S grit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Considering they didn't have syringes like we think of them at that time in history, it was my impression that he was showing her his Pirate branding. Opium was considered medicinal and it was taken orally. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

Wicked Jim Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 ok, i'm not gonna parlay back and forth concerning the other means with which he may have introduced drugs subcutaneously to himself, such as quill, sharpened bone, or wood and instead choose to bow out in favor of your superior knowledge.
