Check out all the Jack Wallpaper

Across the United States there were 20 locations where they had "Pirates of teh Caribbean, the Ultimate Fan Event."  At the one in Hollywood at Disney's El Capitan theater, after the contests the crowd was introducted to the "Jack the Monkey" and his trainer, and the prison dog and his trainer, then the special surprise for all of us was Orlando Bloom.  He came out on stage and spoke to a very appreciative crowd, about how much he enjoyed his participation in the Pirate films and the response of the fans.

Next they showed a brief collage of scenes from the first two pirate movies, then Jerry Bruckheimer, Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush on film introduced the audience to what would be coming up - a screening of Curse of the Black Pearl followed by the trailer for Pirates 3- At World's End.  After the film, they showed the trailer, then Geoffrey Rush was back on screen saying somethings are good enough to bring back, and Jerry (on screen) announced they would show it again.

There's already descriptiosn of the trailer out there but one thing no one has mentioned is a very quick scene of what appeared to be a coral-version of Jack Sparrow opening his eyes!  Pretty spooky.  A funny line or two fly from the trailer so quickly, you have to really pay attention.  Jack comes up to Barbossa at what appears to be the great Pirate Lord conference and Barbossa says something like it's the greatest gathering of pirates in years, and Jack quirps; "And I owe them all money."  Another funny line his him on the beach addressing Will, Elizabeth, Pintell, Ragettis, Barbossa and Tia Dalma.  He says "Four of you tried to kill me and one of you succeeded."  They all look at Elizabeth at that point!

Lee Arenson appeared at the Chicago Event.  Marty Klebba appeared at the San Fransico event.  More news will be forthcoming.

Caps will go up after it airs Monday night.  Yes, there is a Russian version on the web right now, but I'm sure Disney would appreciate all of us waiting for their hi-res version.

 I was able to get a seat right before Jerry Bruckheimer took the stage.

And before he showed the trailer for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END.

Here are my impressions... firstly, the trailer kicked ass. Bruckheimer said that PIRATES 1 and 2 were ours hors d'oeuvres for the 3rd flick and the trailer does represent that.

It begins much like the last film’s trailer with the creepy little girl singing Yo-Ho Yo-Ho a Pirate’s Life For Me and then we see footage from the end of DEAD MAN’S CHEST, namely Barbossa’s reintroduction and the set-up for third film.

The new footage begins with a wreck of a ship sailing through icy waters. The design is very asian-influenced and on board we see Barbossa, ice in his mustache and beard.

The next shot is of that ship heading towards a huge waterfall as Naomi Harris, the voodoo lady, narrates again about goin’ “to dee ends ub dee urff…”

We don’t see how Captain Jack is rescued or saved, but our first look at Depp is onboard a ship, looking around at all the familiar faces from his previous crew and Kiera Knightley and Orlando Bloom.

Sparrow says, “Did no one save me just because they missed me?” And everybody kind of looks around guiltily, then the zombie monkey raises his hand.

The main thrust of the trailer was to set up the goal of Lord Beckett to wipe out all pirates, so that his greedy and corrupt corporation can have complete control of the seas and that all the pirates have to band together to stop him. There are four groups, each from a different corner of the world, including a glimpse of Chow Yun Fat.

Then the big stuff hit, epic shots of fleets of pirate ships engaging an enemy, cannonballs ripping wood.

I was a little worried that we didn’t see any Davy Jones in the trailer, hoping they didn’t just kind of throw his character and arc to the side, but then I caught a glimpse of him in a quick cut, Sparrow smacking him upside the head.

Then I caught more than a glimpse of him.

This is my favorite shot from the trailer. The camera circles around Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones as they duel. The kicker is they are up in the rigging of one of the ships, standing face to face on the mast… probably the Black Pearl, but I didn’t get a close enough look. I was more drawn to the fast and furious sword play. Looked great, like the best parts of the PHANTOM MENACE lightsaber duel with Maul and Obi-Wan. Maybe not as fancy, but definitely as furious.

The trailer ended with Jack Sparrow standing beside a cannon, holding a flame to the fuse as someone says, “Are you mad?” He replies, “If I wasn’t then this probably wouldn’t work,” and ignites the fuse, firing the cannon, which somehow releases a rigging somewhere and the rope Sparrow was holding yanks him up and off the deck of the ship.

Big applause and Bruckheimer said that there would be a big event to unleash the trailer in 25 cities March 19th. I think you might be hearing a little more about that soon…
