Today we’re treated to a new (and I’m guessing what will be called the “full”) trailer for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, courtesy of Yahoo. I dare say this is a vast improvement over the last few clips I’ve seen, which didn’t seem to have much magic to them, other than the familiarity of characters like Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossa. As much as I like Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, those last two PIRATES movies were pretty much stinkers, so this next one needs to be pretty spectacular. The new trailer does seem pretty action-packed, and the humor seems to work a little better here. I love me some Ian McShane, and tell me the Keith Richards bit doesn’t make ya chuckle. Check out the new trailer below, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penelope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Berges-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.
Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds himself on an unexpected journey to the fabled Fountain of Youth when a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz) forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane).
