“Pirates of the
Caribbean: At World’s End” picks up
where the record-breaking 2006 smash hit left
off, with our heroes Will Turner (Orlando Bloom)
and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) allied with
Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate
quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp)
from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones’
locker. With the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying
Dutchman, and its commander Davy Jones under the
control of the East India Trading Company, there
is havoc on the Seven Seas. Navigating through
treachery, betrayal and wild waters, the heroic
trio must forge their way to exotic Singapore
and confront the cunning Pirate Sao Feng (Chow
Yun-Fat). Now headed beyond the very ends of the
earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a
final titanic battle – as not only their
lives and fortunes, but the entire future of the
freedom-loving Pirate way hangs in the balance.
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by
Gore Verbinski from a screenplay written by Ted
Elliott & Terry Rossio, our beloved cast sets
sail again on a fresh new adventure in May 2007.
Walt Disney Pictures/Jerry
Bruckheimer Films’ “Pirates of the
Caribbean: At World’s End” releases
