Pirates Of The Caribbean Dead Man's Chest Behind The Scenes

After the surprise success of the Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Director Gore Verbinski and the entire cast of the first film returned for the first sequel, Dead Man’s Chest. The decade and-a-half old production provided tons of wild stunts, pioneering practical and visual effects, and a bunch of unforeseen challenges and setbacks.

Returning stars Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Jack Davenport, and Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp, give candid sound bites about all aspects of the shoot, as well as provide hilarious bloopers. Orlando Bloom went for a spin in a big wheel and a bone cage, and Keira Knightley was able to flex her skills with a sword for the first time in the franchise. Cast newcomer Bill Nighy is also featured for his work portraying the villainous big bad and seafaring legend, Davy Jones.

John Knoll and his team at Industrial Light & Magic get the spotlight as well when the break down the Davy Jones cgi, and their groundbreaking approach to motion capture when it came to bringing the tentacle-faced Flying Dutchman captain to the screen. Special effects played a big role in other parts of the production too, most notably with Davy Jones’ terrifying pet, the Kraken. With the combination of real effects they performed on set and the work the VFX team did in postproduction, the crew was able to have the monster interact with people on the ship, and even take down an entire ship.

Jack Sparrow is the Heart and Soul of POTC Franchise

[jho_ouiii]

It. Will. Never. Be. The. Same. Without. Johnny. Depp.

[myrnam]

without Johnny Depp there will be no real Pirates of the Caribbean..He is the original can never replace ...

[snadashkevich]

Everybody commenting about Jack Sparrow, but can we appreciate how amazing of a villain Davy Jones was? Bill Nighy nailed it - from the moves to the manner he speaks!

[slayonce]

my heart breaks for the way johnny depp was treated. he will always be my favorite actor and i hope disney doesnt leave him out of the new movie 😭

[JugOriginal]

Half a year in the Caribbean playing a pirate sounds like paradise! I would personally love to do it if i ever got an opportunity!

[berkc]

My favorite movie series. What a shame what happened to Johnny Depp.

[aditis.]

Depp is THE legend…Disney should apologise 😤😤

[trb]

Johnny is a brilliant actor.His improvisational skillset is only matched by his sense of humor.

[Me-wkdz]

All those practical sets were worth it, CGI cannot match it. To this day Dead Man's Chest and At World's End are some of the best looking films ever made, far beyond 4 and 5

[Junior]

Disney should publicly apologise to Depp and request him to come back to Disney.

[lemonlover]

This made me appreciate the entire movie more❤️😌 I'm in love with Pirates of the Caribbean. All those effort was definitely worth it.

[kratosgow]

Sir Bill Nighy's performance as Davy Jones was just perfection!👌

[hdb]

He's in SO many of my magical, childhood movie memories. I'll always love him. Some people just make you smile and make everything feel sentimental.

[ryuu]

My favorite of the trilogy. Loved this so much and must have been an adventure for everyone.

[michaelsmiley]

A lot of people don't understand is when you're filming on locations particularly ones that are in the middle of nowhere you have to bring a whole catering staff along with you because it's not just the actors it's the whole Crew that have to be fed so it's very very expensive but in a long run it's worth this is one area that you cannot skimp on

[joewhitehead]

Still one of my favorite movies to this day! Seen it over a hundred times! So much work was put into making this film possible & I admire that

[Infinite_blessings]

They’d better not waste their money making another Pirates of the Caribbean movie if Johnny isn’t in it because not many will go and see it. 💯

[randomgames]

Such a huge movie, obviously will face BIG challenges, they managed to pull it off and had success.
There are definitely some memorable shocking scenes in the pirates of the Caribbean, incredible how many people appreciated this movie, I only watch some of the series, this movie was over whelming in an unexpected way.

[pragnyapal]

Never gonna be the same without our very own deppy boy. No one can enact jack sparrow like Johnny depp. Huge respect Johnny depp .
