ILM = Pirate Skeletons 13 Jan, 2003 / Comments: 10


Fangoria.com has published a small interview with Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean film. If you don't know why this is indirectly related to LucasArts, read our previous report. Here's what Bruckheimer had to say about the movie so far:
"The pirates ? what happens is they stole this cursed treasure and unless they put the treasure back, they never die, they can't enjoy life," Bruckheimer continues. "They can't enjoy food or sex. All they want to do is plunder and get more and more and more gold. And in the moonlight, they turn into skeletons. So, you can just imagine the effects. ILM is doing the effects. [Director] Gore Verbinski, who did The Ring, is very imaginative and is working with ILM. I've never seen skeletons like this. They have actual features and pieces of flesh and their costumes still on, so it's fascinating."
No skeleton sex, eh? I wonder if they can't get drunk either. At least Manny had that going for him. Anyway, read the full interview for more info. Arr.

    The trailer seems really cool.

    "Set in the Caribbean Sea in the 17th century, this is the story of a gentleman rogue of a pirate, Jack Sparrow (Depp), who teams up with the daughter (Knightley) of a governor (Pryce)"

    Sounds very promising =)
    I guess you can relate to Monkey Island when reading this.

    Yes indeed - it could've been used as the storyline for MI5!

    There's also some concept art up at Yahoo Movies featuring those skeletons.

    The concept art won't load for me. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Skeleton pirates?
    Sounds like Monkey Island hit the big screen, too bad it doesn't feature Guybrush :)

    Sounds like this will might be "the Monkey Island movie," like Galaxy Quest was "the Space Quest *(Well, I guess closest to 5) movie."

    Of course if this ends up somewhat like MI, it will have a bit more irony in the background, as you could always wonder if they hadn't been inspired by some ideas from the games... which was of course, inspired by the ride from which this movie is to be "based" upon. But we all know that, right?

    It features Johnny Depp, who kinda looks like MI2 Guybrush I guess.
