This is yet another reason I wanted to attend Comic-Con this year. Last Thursday morning was suppose to be all about Tron Legacy. However Disney had a few surprises up their sleeves... this being one of them. They debuted of a fun little video for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tidesfeaturing Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow chatting about the movie, including making a funny references about Penélope Cruz being in the movie. I didn't expect this footage to show up online, but a clean, high quality version has appeared thanks courtesy of MovieWeb. Have a look-see.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides stars Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, as well as Penélope Cruz, Ian McShane, the lovely Geoffrey Rush and Astrid Berges-Frisbey as a mermaid. The story in this is based on Tim Powers' book, which focuses heavily on the Fountain of Youth that was hinted at the conclusion of At World's End. Chicago and Nine director Rob Marshall is helming this fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film and shooting starts this summer, primarily in Hawaii. If it is indeed being shot from the start in 3D, then it should be pretty cool to watch in 3D. This movie is still set for release on May 20th, 2011.
If there's any kind of magic in this world... it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know it's almost impossible to succeed... but who cares, really. The answer must be in the attempt. Only if you find peace within yourself will you find true connections with others.
Octavia Spencer (Dorothy Vaughn) was asked by Janelle Monáe (Mary Jackson) at the church lunch if she wanted some pie. This related to The Help when Octavia Spencer (Minny Jackson) gives Bryce Dallas Howard (Hilly Holbrok) a pie that contains her own feces.
I feel film matters because we use it to tell stories about who we are as a society. They are a record of what makes us human and what concerns us in our everyday lives. Film has the power to transform emotions and it gives us opportunities to expand our horizons. It has the power to connect us to a whole new world outside our own. It's magical. Moreover, film is the most prevalent form of communication and entertainment in the postmodern world. Even while we are mindlessly absorbed in a favorite entertaining past time, we are subtly and unconsciously washed with layers of cultural values. Some films are fleeting entertainment while others are truly magnificent, dazzling, thought-provoking works of art.
Long Live Film!
