Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow to save Turner's love, Elizabeth Swann, from cursed pirates led by Jack's mutinous former first mate, Hector Barbossa. Jack wants revenge against Barbossa, who left him stranded on an island before stealing his ship, the Black Pearl, along with 882 pieces of cursed Aztec Gold.
Meanwhile, Captain Hector Barbossa hears from his pirate crew that the revived Captain Salazar has killed several pirates at sea and is destroying Barbossa's fleet. Barbossa talks his way out of being killed by offering to help find Jack and learns that the Trident could lead him to a "treasure". Salazar agrees, wanting revenge on Jack. Salazar pursues the Dying Gull, forcing Jack, Henry, and Carina to flee to an island, discovering that Salazar's crew cannot go on land. Barbossa allies himself with Jack, returning his compass and restoring the miniaturized Black Pearl[b] to its original size. They continue their journey to the island, with Barbossa taking command of the Pearl once more. During the voyage, Jack and Barbossa realize Carina is the latter's long-lost daughter.

Editing was a collaboration between Roger Barton and Leigh Folsom Boyd, with the latter detailing that "Roger started from the beginning of the film and I started from the end, and we kind of met in the middle." Boyd added that it was the longest post-production process she was ever involved with, as Disney wanted to give "the support and leeway we needed to tell the story and allow for the complex visual effects to bake."[100] The editors worked closely with the previsualization team to, according to effects supervisor Gary Brozenich, "give meat to the bones of the plates that needed effects explanation as well as any new CG beats that would be added later." Along with the post-production team in Los Angeles, Brozenich had to split his time going to the UK and Montreal, to check on the eight companies handling the film's 2,000 visual effects shots, with 150 of them consisting only of computer graphics. The primary vendor was Brozenich's own employer Moving Picture Company (MPC).[80][101] Among MPC's work were Salazar's undead pirates, whose on-set footage was mostly replaced by CGI to achieve missing body parts and floating hair and clothing. Brozenich stated that what was kept of the original actors was "their run, gait and faces." To provide reference for the floating parts, which were meant to resemble a perpetual drowning state, a stuntman in full costume and wig was filmed underwater in a swimming pool performing various actions.[10]
The Queen Anne's Revenge was an infamous pirate vessel, formerly named Concord and La Concorde de Nantes. Imposing, terrifyingly beautiful, a brutal beast of the sea, this legendary ship of the seven seas struck dread into the heart of pirates on the high seas. Cutting a quick path over open water, the Revenge boasted strong defenses and lethal armaments. The Queen Anne's Revenge was one of the largest, most notorious pirate ships to ever sail the seas, reportedly full of wealth and treasure plundered from many ill-fated victims.
Around the great conflict between the pirates, the East India Trading Company, and the undead army of Jolly Roger, Blackbeard assembled a new crew. All of them were jumbees, malevolent supernatural beings, well-known throughout the Caribbean. Enslaved by Blackbeard's dark magic, they served their master without question. The Queen Anne's Revenge sailed with a hull full of rich bounty, and had strong defenses.[15] Blackbeard would put LaSchafe, his loyal jumbee first mate, in charge of the Queen Anne's Revenge. However, Jolly Roger used that opportunity to make a Voodoo Doll of LaSchafe, and took control of Blackeard's first mate, his soulless crew, and the Queen Anne's Revenge.[2]
However, the doors to the captain's quarters right behind Jack Sparrow opened as Blackbeard himself appeared on deck. Blackbeard touched the jeweled hilt of his sword as he told about his bewilderment of the situation of men taking the ship for themselves. As he touched the sword, the Queen Anne's Revenge's ropes started to slide around, slithering up and down the rigging, inching towards the legs of the mutineers. Upon learning from Angelica that it was mutiny, Blackbeard pulled out his sword and he asked his motley crew about the fate of mutineers. Raising his sword, Blackbeard yelled "Mutineers Hang!", as he brought his sinister ship to life. Jack and the other members of his party are thrown forward as the Queen Anne's Revenge began to sail at full speed. Blackbeard pointed his sword at some of his mutinous crewmen and more of the ship's ropes grab other pirates, including a crewmember attempting to jump overboard. The Queen Anne's Revenge slowed to normal speed as the majority of the pirate crewmen become entangled in a massive spiderweb of rope and rigging, all of the pirates caught in the web, bound, trapped like flies. Blackbeard finished his work and rested his trusty sword on his shoulder, having crushed the mutiny relatively easy.[1]
After Blackbeard's death at the Fountain of Youth, his motley crew of pirates joined a privateer named Hector Barbossa, who killed Blackbeard and took his sword, as he claimed his ship and crew as his own for payment of his lost leg. Barbossa was able to find the Queen Anne's Revenge anchored off of the island, proclaiming that the ship was now his. Having changed back into his pirate regalia, Barbossa took to the helm of the Revenge. Putting on his old hat, which the Cabin Boy had found belowdecks, Barbossa pulled out his new sword and pointed it towards the bow, causing the Queen Anne's Revenge to go full sail. Taking and ripping apart his Letters of Marque, Barbossa took full command as captain as the Queen Anne's Revenge made way for Tortuga.[1]
The Pirates of the Caribbean movie timeline isn't complicated, but it is quite extensive. Beginning with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, Disney managed to not only successfully adapt one of its oldest and most beloved theme park rides into a movie, but they had created a franchise out of it that would enliven summers at the movies for years to come.
It's easy to see how films devoted to the various adventures of pirates and their foes would prove fertile narrative ground upon which to build a franchise. With every Pirates of the Caribbean film, the fictional pirating world it established grew and grew, introducing new villains and heroes, and providing connections to the original films. Now, with five Pirates of the Caribbean movies under its belt, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has not only delivered tons of story to chew on, but there's so much that it warrants compiling a complete timeline to see just how all of the events line up. It may feel like each Pirates of the Caribbean film covers a lot of ground, but it may be a surprise to see just how close together many of the events from different films are.
New posters have been released for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Abduction. The Pirates poster is basically a reprint of a previous poster but this one lets you know that the movie will be in IMAX 3D, or as the poster puts it: "IMA-[Pirates of the Caribbean logo] 3D," which is really the best kind of 3D.As for the Abduction poster, it gives you a very strong indication of the final film in that it shows you the single facial expression Taylor Lautner will have for the movie's full runtime. I watched the trailer yesterday and I struggled to believe that I ever liked him in parts of New Moon.Hit the jump to check out the posters. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens May 20th. Abduction gets released on September 23rd.Poster via Fandango.Here's the official synopsis for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides:
For a few years in the early 18th century, from about 1715 to 1720, piracy experienced a golden age. "Stede Bonnet was part of a gang of pirates operating in the Caribbean that are responsible for the images we have of pirates today," says historian Colin Woodard, author of The Republic of Pirates. The popular pirate, as known from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island to the recent Pirates of the Caribbean movie trilogy, was inspired by these buccaneers. But even during their lifetimes, pirates like Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch (or Teach) and Ann Bonny were romanticized. "They were folk heroes," says Woodard. Though the authorities characterized pirates as "devils and demons, enemies of all mankind," Woodard says, "many colonial citizens supported them. People saw pirates as Robin Hood figures, socking it to the man on their behalf."
After the final credit rolled, a scene featured a newly reunited husband and wife, Elizabeth Turner (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom). The two are sleeping blissfully in their home after being reunited at movie's end following the removal of Will's wretched curse of the Flying Dutchman.
It was in 1717, near the island of Martinique, that the ship was captured and used as a vessel by pirates, as it is in the movie. Then in 1718, the notorious (and real) Blackbeard captured the ship and transformed it into one of the most formidable pirate ships ever, carrying 40 cannons and enough room for plenty of men and loot. It sank in 1718, and many believe that Blackbeard scuttled it on purpose.
Pirate ships in the movies bear little resemblance to the vessels actually used by the real deal. The Black Pearl, for example, is a large three-masted galleon, but the real pirates operating in the Caribbean preferred fast, single-masted vessels of the type then known as sloops.
Poor Geoffrey Rush was done yet another disservice later in the movie, this time by the editing department. With his ridiculous wig left back on land, he sheds the rest of his British garb after admitting to Jack that his true goal was to exact revenge on Blackbeard for sinking the Pearl and taking his leg in the process. The scene in which a young deckhand passes him a hat more suited to his true standing as a pirate is supposed to be a moment for the character, but instead it leaves viewers asking "where the hell did those feathers come from?" As the boy approaches, the hat has no frills at all, yet as Barbossa takes it, a bunch of feathers appear on the rim. 2ff7e9595c
