There is now a website through which we can track the race; looks fantastic. http://www.blackpearlracing.com/splash.asp
Its nice to see that this will be stopping in Melbourne (where I live), and with Orlando Bloom on board too (hopefully that doesnt change)  ;D Johnny Depp and Kiera Knightly are apparently taking part also, but on different legs...  (:D#

Are they coming are way?

Race ???

Its starts in the UK (i think), heads to Cape Town, then Melbourne ( ;D), Wellington, Rio De Janeiro, Baltimore, NY, then back to the Uk...

Its the big Volvo Open Ocean Race, takes about 7 months, and there is a POTC boat taking part, which is a great advertisement for the film...plus the stars are meant to be taking part  8) Hope I get to meet orlando  :o

Aww cool. If you do just make sure he gets home safely ;)

Baltimore and NY, why couldnt be like in Georga, maybe then I could have caught in on my trip there :P

Im just glad for once that Melbourne is included, rather than Sydney (sorry Jo....but you guys got the LOTR exhibition, I had to fly up for that...)

Im glad we have a bit more info on it.... ;D  ;D Im so happy that they are stopping in Melbourne  ;D Pity we dont have Johnny Depp  :( but Orlando is just as good...

I'm sure you could cope with just Orlando, Trey ;)

Oh, and by the way, did I mention how you and Kate are my bestest friends ever? :o= ;)

Dont forget to take pictures and POST POST POST ;)

I think I remember you mentioning something along those lines...  :rofl:


As much as I like Johnny Depp, Im really really glad its Orlando; I missed seeing him when he was here filming Ned Kelly, so Im getting a second chance...

Photos are a definate!  ;D

Oh im sure i could handle it  :-* ...actually maybe not..i would probably faint if he came near me haha


thats not what you said last week about Kate  :-X   ;)

How rude, you know that you two have been my best friends ever since i heard Orlando was going to Melbourne ;) :rofl:

Lots and lots and lots of photos please! ;D

haha oh sorry i forgot  ;)

yes we will get lots and lots of photos!

I couldnt find on the website though any info about the stars being aboard...was i just not looking correctly? If not I hope they put it up soon. When do we think that Orly will be in Melb?

how rude  :P

Trey, the bit about Orlando in Melb was not on the web, but in an article in the Mx months ago...I mentioned it at the time; I just hope that it all still goes ahead.

And Jo, there will be pleny of photos, promise  ;D

Yea I knew it was in the mx but if its not on the website yet I dont want to get too excited about it...otherwise it may lead to disappointment later on. So I will reserve my excitedness for when we get official details I think.

Im sorry wasnt meant to be rude  :-* it was funny in my head

oh I know it was funny, dont worry...thats just my joky (is that a word?) response  ;D

Well, I know its not totally official yet, but from what I can remember its part of the films promotion...maybe they dont have any choice (hope so anyway)...

I didn't want to make another thread for just this, but....I was watching Pirates tonight on tv and I got a phone call with about 15 minutes to go in the movie so missed the end.  >:()  Can someone please PM me with the ending?  Jack and the bad guy (name?) were both "undead" and fighting when I left.  Thanks!

Kelly say it isn't so - you did not see Pirates of the Caribbean when it was in the theater?  You have to watch the rest even if someone emailed you the ending and especially watch the film past the movie credits because there is a bit of extra footage that is cool and revealing!   (:D#

It's so.  :-[  Blackcat was nice enough to tell me the end (thanks :)), but it's still bugging me that I didn't see it myself.  Now I'll have to rent it this weekend.   (:D# |:#

Its worth it Kelly (you could always charge the rental fee to the person who phoned you  :P )
