Pirates of the Caribbean
23 October 2002
From Dark Horizons - "The wardrobe for this movie alone is extremely accurate - they have every little nuance of detail in all their hand-sewn costumes. They have tons of wigs that they are using as well. The props for the movie are very accurate, they were putting finishing touches on the cannons and cannon balls. There were at LEAST 45 cannons they they were getting ready. I am also being told that this will be THE most VIOLENT Walt Disney Pictures movie to date and most likely will recieve a PG-13 rating. In one scene that I heard about, one of the pirates describes to a little girl how he will kill her and what he will do to the body". Thanks to Lisa for the link.

A Pirate's Life For You?
Source: St. Petersburg Times -
Break out those Gasparilla costumes and a passport. Walt Disney Pictures will hold an open casting call Oct. 19 for swashbucklers to perform in a movie based on the Pirates of the Caribbean amusement park ride. Auditions will be held at the Pier in St. Petersburg from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Similar casting calls will be conducted in Miami and Key West. About 250 actors will be chosen for those events. According to St. Petersburg/Clearwater film commissioner Jennifer Parramore, selected actors will travel to California for two weeks of "pirate training" then spend two months on location on St. Vincent, part of the Windward Islands chain about 200 miles northeast of Venezuela. Pirates of the Caribbean will star Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush. For information, call Parramore's office at (727) 464-7240 or Susan Robertson at (727) 821-6443. (Thanks to Nessie).
