Called Up to Duty in the Caribbean


hurricane

Recommended Posts

I've just learned that one of our own Pyrates of the Coast crewe members, Slipshot, has been called to filming for PotC 2 & 3. He'll be there through December. Yeah! One of our own crewe members is immortalized - or is that immoralized.

Here's his mug - if you're filming along side him be sure to say hi - he's from St. Augustine, real pirate country.

"There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it."

Aye, I thought the same as Sam. ;)

But this be a better assignment where the shot won't kill ye (but the seasickness might ;) ). Look fer yer fellow Pub mate, Billy Bones, in the Prop Department. ;)

Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie.

Good on you Slipshot. Well done for getting a part. I would love to be a film like PotC. I am a great fan, and it is after watching the film for about the 20th time I thought i would have a go at writing my own pirate story, and the result being I have managed to get it published to. The Country Pirate ISBN 1413787940. You must let us have some hightlights of the filming.

Louie and I see each other every day, but I have yet to see Slipshot. Say hi if you see me mate. BB

Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard.

"This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?"

My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity.

"Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me."

Yes that sounds like the player, errr I mean pirate. No No I don't really know that. We have barely said two words to each other ever. Anyone remember Gabrielle?

That sounds like Louie. Not tall, good sailor. Nice guy. Smokes a covered pipe.

For those who haven't seen this in the Orlando newspaper:

Open casting for extras for the sequels to Pirates of the

Caribbean is being held November 19 in Orlando's Downtown Media

Arts Center from 9 a.m. until noon. The production, starring

Johnny Depp and again directed by Gore Verbinski, will be shot

on Grand Bahama Island in January and February. Background

Casting Director Thomas Gustafson says he's looking for all

types of good male actors -- but ONLY male actors -- to portray

pirates, military and Asian seamen.

The timing for their filming is perfect. My family and I are taking one of those Disney cruises in February and we stop at Nassau in the Bahamas. :blink:

(Yeah, I know. We won't REALLY see anything of the filming. But the ship does have a Pirate Party on the ship.)

Don't miss the pirate museum there. It is fabulous - one of the best around in my own humble opinion. I liked the Blackbeard recreation in particular.
