... well I liked it ;)

I can see a few pointers  in the storyline which are obvoious links to what might happen!

1) Well - Will Turner's Dad - couldn't be dead could he as he was also affected by the curse!!!

2) The monkey pics up a gold piece after the credits and presumably makes himself an immortal monkey! One to watch!!!

3) Do you think that the Brits will go after Jack Sparrow and the Pearl as it ended at the close of the first movie?? I am not sure it will be as predictable as that!

A card set for this one would be great - there are some great costumes etc :) And some of the autographers if they could be persuaded to sign would drive people mad! It's a good time to set up a card set though as everyone is about to regroup to film movies 2 and 3 this coming autumn!

It would be especially great if a certain UK card company could pick up the license, I liked their thunderbird set - and (no I am not on commission popple) but I think they have some imagination and some great designers (don't worry - Darren doesn't seem to come on here so we are safe from his head swelling!), and I wouldn't be import taxed on my purchases  ;).

The only snag is that Disney are a pain in the whatsit to work with. When Mark was working at the cinema in Mile End many years ago - even their poor quality releases HAD to be in the best screen in the house (Genesis had only one good screen with 500 seats and then the rest were only slightly bigger than your widescreen at home - probably slightly smaller than savage 727s!). AND they took 90% YES 90% of the takings... so that the cinema can only make money on your popcorn, drinks etc.. (that explains why they charge so much huh??)

So all in all Disney are not friendly to work with - so I won't hold my breath - but it would be magnificent if they did a set!

Yeah, I would love to see a auto/costume/prop card set for the 3 movies ;) Forget OB, I would kill for a Johnny Depp or Geoffrey Rush!

 :o someone has hacked FTY's account!

Get them off!

 ;D ;D ;D

I never thought I would see the day FTY abandons OB!!

Say it isn't so FTY!!   ;)

I too would love a JD and JR auto card!!  :)

LOL, I was always a Legolas fan before I was an OB fan! It was just fortunate that the actor they chose to play my fave character was so, erm, easy on the eyes ;) ;D 8)

I do like OB though, but Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush are FANTASTIC!

:)

I take it that y'all know that Cap'n Jacks' Dad is pencilled in for #s 2/3. And...... y'all also know who's (hopefully) going to portray the great man  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Now that's an auto I'd like  :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

BUT

"You can't always get what you want"

Is there a Glimmer of hope, I hear you cry  :o :o

Probably not, but, all answers on a postcard  ;D :D

Who Rob, who? :o

Sorry.................... You've got to guess  ;D Assuming you don't know  :P :P

Rob

Depp was supposed to sign for Sleepy Hollow when Inkworks did that set, but never did sign.  I was lead to believe his auto was in the set and picked up six boxes for about $12 each a couple months ago ( I was told auto's fell about one in 3 boxes) and got nothing.

It sucked - maybe there was a retail and a hobby version, but it was very disappointing money spent 6 boxes and no auto's.  Oh well you live you learn!

Point being I don't know if Depp would even be for signing cards for a set?

As nobody is rising to the bait.......

How's about.........

Keith Richards as Sparrow Senior!!!

Should be good  ;D

Rob

ROFL!!!

 ;D ;D ;D

That is absolutely PERFECT casting! Where did you get this info from?

Word is that Jack is based on Keef!! Certainly clothing wise ;) ;)

Depp and Keefy are mates, JD had talked to KR about doing Sparrow ala Keef.

Watch this space  ;D ;D

Rob

 :o

Inspired indeed!

Any word when the second Pirates movie will be out?  I like the idea of Keith Richards!!  :)

Trust the Oz members to get the scoop ;) Interesting title - I like it!

STARTS filming in 2005?!?!?! That means it won't be released til at least mid 2006 :'(

Thanks FTY!  I was hoping it would be released sometime next year though!  We could all use a bit more of Capt. Jack Sparrow!!   :)

Or more to the point - more Johnny Depp!

*drools*

OB ain't half bad either ;)

I'm thrilled that Keith Richards has agreed to be in the movie. Gonna be fabulous.
And yes, more Johnny Depp is always a good thing.
I read in the paper this weekend that Geoffery Rush is apparently in at least one of the sequels  :o
I don't remember exactly but it was an article on another Australian movie and it mentioned that Rush had committed to the Pirates sequel. Still trying to figure out what this means plot wise...

Oh come on, you know there will be some twist involving the gold coins or something subtle in the 1st movie - the monkey at the end for eg. ;)

All I know is, I hope we have not seen the last of Barbossa! So wonderfully evil :)

Yea I too love the character of Barbossa!  I am looking forward to more skurvy behavior from Geoffrey Rush!  :)
And don't forget the monkey!!

The monkey ROCKS! As does Geoffrey Rush! ;) Fantastic actor and nice man :)

Well since Rush is signed on I'd imagine we haven't seen the last of Barbossa. And thus not the monkey either...
And that's fine with me--he and Johnny are what made the fist movie so good. And with Keith Richards on board, it's gonna be great!

Please post any more news you hear!  Thanks.   :)
