(Captain Jack tells Elizabeth about the meaning of his life)

"Disney took the pirate theme of despair" - yazvili critics 15 years ago. The studio itself is not pinned on his new film much hope. In 2003, the picture came out on ekrany- and against all expectations, it was a success oshelomitelen.

Jack Sparrow and sauna

"In the original script Captain Jack was an ordinary thug, waving his sword, hung out with women and everything, - told Depp.- I kept thinking about this guy, but the whole picture is not evolved may seem strange, but it is." Born "in my sauna. Jack most of the time in the sea, which means constantly under the scorching sun, which inevitably affects his mind. I decided to experience what it feels like, and went into his sauna. setted temperature at the maximum, and told himself to sit there, how many survive. To my mind, too, I began to and melt.

I almost died. Barely crawled out. Well, that is not jumped sharply-then said it could kill me. But I did it. expression of the eyes, facial expressions, manner of speaking - all the result of roasting in the sauna, I assure you. Still I had to come up with a special gait. And then it hit me - Sparrow used to walk on the deck! His sailor's legs. The ship is constantly swinging, and should be able to keep his balance. At sea, it looks fine. But on the ground, Jack continues to go the same way. His "sea" feet do not become a "land". All this I told the leadership of Walt Disney. They absolutely do not agree. "

"You can fire me, because I change something in the way of Jack, I will not", - said the actor. Kinobossy concessions, but tried to put pressure on Depp's psychological.

"On the set there was a spy - recalled aktor.- He is followed closely by me and reported to the top of any improvisation Immediately followed the call:." What did you shoot this replica is not in the script, "Thank Verbinski- he quietly supported me?!.

And, when I saw the frightened faces spy and his boss, got an extra boost of energy. They are poor, they did not understand that their behavior only get excited me even more. our confrontation apotheosis was the heart-rending cry then head Michael Eisner's studio. After seeing the footage, he shouted: "Depp destroy my film! Not a word is not clear from what he says on the screen. Us that, to put subtitles in scenes with him ?! What is he doing? Oh my God!"

Depp with the understudy.

-You have to believe in the legend of the ghost. Are you among them.

To create the effect of decomposing bodies, special effects masters scanned dried meat turkey. On busts and detailed models of individual fastened artificial skin, cut in places of folds and after pictures of casts were applied to computer models. For every single pirate ghost developed its own degree of decomposition, the number of hanging pieces of flesh.

-Any mortal who takes at least one gold plaque, doomed to eternal torment

When the shooting ended, many of the people who worked on the film, chose anything from props in the cave of treasures to take home. According Verbinski, none of the damned coins left.

Before 50 make-up artists (that's a lot for a film) and the main costume designer Penny Rose was a difficult task to transform hundreds of extras in colorful characters.

To recreate the high society in the Port Royal 900 sewed dresses and hairstyles of the employed about 40 hairdressers. For all the protagonists there were different lenses (for McKenzie, playing a one-eyed pirate, even special "hard").

A beard to make one curious pirate who scatters grenades in an attack on Port Royal, constantly smoking, under the dense rows of dreadlocks on the ends plaited braids brass sockets with candles. Before every take they had to change.

-I wish that such beauty is lost. So that at first he paid, dear.

Keira Knightley was afraid of the upcoming jump in the scene where Elizabeth forced to walk the plank. Two days, during rehearsals and filming scenes before the fall, it is long hovered on the edge of the board, trying to curb the fear.

On the third day, Gore told her that he could ask for and understudy. Cyrus proudly replied, that it is not for nothing that she attended two days of this damn board, so at the last minute to give up, and added: "Well, I hope the sharks will not eat."

Since during the filming Knightley was a minor, the mother accompanied her everywhere.

- So this is the grand feat of Jack Sparrow? Your secret? You're three days lying on the beach, gulping the rum!

- Welcome to the Caribbean, love.

Only 20 islands have been involved in the process of filming. In the same period of Universal filming "Master and Commander". They woke up early and rented a Disney Pavilion with the largest pool of the shooting in Hollywood, starring "Titanic" and "Pearl Harbor." Verbinski team had to work on the high seas.

One day, returning from a night filmmakers shooting on an island in the Caribbean Sea. Keira Knightley boat hit a reef and sank. On board except Knightley were her mother and the skipper. All were saved for several hours. Because of this incident, the remaining night decided to finish shooting in the studio, rather than on the island.

Beznosov Sparrow

Depp had a few very extreme ideas on which Verbinski persuaded him to give up: "One day, Depp said:" I think in one of the battles Jack had cut off his nose, and as a result he has a nose - prostheses and he is afraid to sneeze. because then his nose will fall off and fall ... "I replied:" I'm afraid we will not be able to sell this movie! ""

Captain Jack is a thin double beard. First two braids barb wire were used. But then they were removed, because when Depp lay down, braids sticking up.

How did the true gentleman, you can shoot the lady and himself die of hunger.

Geoffrey Rush recalled: "In the first movie about Barbossa is spoken of as the devil incarnate, and I thought," Wow, whatever appears in the picture - you need to bring it "and our costume designer Penny Rose, made a very bright outfit for me.. I was just like a rock star from another era.

In my hero is and pomposity, arrogance and narcissism. I still like the fact that I was a monkey, not a parrot. It seemed that we just did was preparing a surprise for the audience. In the end, I still ended up with a wooden leg, but I still thought: "It's great!" Becomes as old as Barbossa, you need to be able to kick butt an opponent, otherwise he'd have killed. "

The studio asked Lee Arenberg (played by a bald pirate Pintella) keep a video diary. From it you can see that every evening after a hard day's crew arranged tournaments in the game of "Scrubble" (a board game, which aims to form words from the set of letters, which you have available).

Given the high box office, and the first part of its phenomenal success outside the United States, the continuation is only a matter of time. Verbinski and Bruckheimer started production at the same time with the second part and a third.
