Last week Sean Daily a CEO at Disney showed employes a brief glimpse of POTC4. (SPOILER WARNING)
In a scene with Jack, Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and Penelope Cruz, along with one of Blackbeard's crew, Jack and the others are on a tropical island and there's a point (which is on the other side of the island) that they can see. Jack wants to take the long way around, since the direct route involves jumping off a high cliff. Blackbeard wants a more direct route. Humor ensues as Blackbeard tries to force Jack to jump.

Filming to close Blowhole
POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Jul 15, 2010
Halona Blowhole and the Koko Head Rifle Range will be closed today and tomorrow because of filming for the latest "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, the city announced. The Department of Parks and Recreation said public safety calls for placing Halona Lookout and the adjacent cove off limits while the film crew works with large pieces of equipment. Closing the area will also to keep camera views clear, the city said.
The rifle range will be used as a base camp for the production and will house the trucks and equipment. The production company offered to cover the cost of opening the rifle range on two future dates. "We'll likely use the funds to keep open the range on two of the furlough days when it would normally have been closed," Mayor Mufi Hannemann said.
Johnny Depp stars in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," the fourth movie in the series.
Halona cove, sometimes called "Eternity Beach," was the scene of the steamy kiss between Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in the 1953 movie "From Here to Eternity."

Just waiting on Mick JaggerFive years after A Bigger Bang, fans are starting to wonder when the next Rolling Stones studio album will surface.
"I'm trying to find out myself," Keith Richards says. "I sent a note to (drummer) Charlie Watts saying, 'Should I put an ad in a music magazine: guitar player for hire?' I've got to do something."
The holdup? Richards is waiting on a friend. Until Mick Jagger signs on, the Stones are in limbo.
"It doesn't matter which band, you've got to have the frontman wanting to do it," Richards says. "You can't shove the lead singer into it. I learned that many years ago. I usually wait for Mick to call me. When he does, it's because he's got an itch and wants to go to work."
Jagger hedges on a specific timetable but allows, "I've been writing a lot of stuff. I'm definitely in the mood."
Richards isn't sitting by the phone. He'll return as the father of Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, in the fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides, which starts shooting in June. Rumors persist that there's also a buccaneer role for Jagger.
"I think it's just talk," Jagger demurs. "We'll see. I won't be swabbing the decks."
Depp is also directing a documentary on the iconic guitarist, and "I'm happily involved," Richards says.
Richards' autobiography Life arrives Oct. 26 from Little, Brown, with writing assistance from White Mischiefauthor James Fox, a close friend.
"I thought, maybe it's the right time," Richards says. "We can leave out some of the naughty bits."
On the music front, Richards has recorded with Jack White in Nashville and recently contacted members of his solo enterprise, the X-Pensive Winos.
"There's nothing definite," he says about a reunion. "I work all over the place, and I like to keep my hand in. Have guitar, will travel. Working with the right cats, it's never work. You don't work a guitar. You play it."
Mrs. Pink reports ad Johnny Depp Zone that Kevn McNally's official website confirms he will be back as Mr. Gibbs in Pirates 4.

Johnny to Hook Up with Sexy Mermaid?
JOHNNY Depp is set to fall foul of a sexy lady!And it isn’t Angelina Jolie!
The actor’s Pirates of the Caribbean character, Jack Sparrow, will apparently hook up with a mermaid in the movie franchise’s next installment.
“This will be a central part of the next movie,” blabbed one loose-lipped Hollywood insider. “Captain Jack will fall foul of these seemingly perfect and seductive mermaids but they are not all they seem.
“Auditions are taking place now for sexy girls who can also sing opera.
“There is also a lead mermaid role which is attracting some big-name actresses.”
Recent reports claimed Depp wants Mick Jagger to star in On Stranger Tides after he managed to get the rocker’s Rolling Stones bandmate Keith Richards on board as his on-screen father.
“Johnny is working closely with Disney on the next chapter of Pirates of the Caribbean and has put a lot of ideas forward,” a source said earlier this month.
“Some of the more fun ideas include getting Mick in with Keith as pirate elders. He thinks they would be perfect.”

We're gonna need a smaller boat': where should Pirates of the Caribbean 4 make its savings?Disney has plans to reduce the spend of the anticipated fourth instalment by $100m. But would that be a bad thing?

Without question, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will be one of next year's biggest films. It will have more of everything that audiences loved about the first three instalments, like Johnny Depp doing his funny run; and less of everything that audiences hated about the first three instalments, like Orlando Bloom.
But now there's a good chance that Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 will contain quite a lot less of everything else – this week it emerged that Disney has slashed the film's budget by a gigantic $100m. However, while at first glance this would appear to be a story about a handful of creatively-blinkered, spreadsheet-loving corporate bean-counters deciding to ruin everyone else's fun, in actual fact the cost-cutting might just end up being the best thing to happen to the franchise.
Making films on the cheap can be disastrous. You just have to look at Superman IV: The Quest For Peace – where Cannon Films were so determined to cut every conceivable corner that all the UN scenes ended up being filmed outside a railway station in Milton Keynes and the You'll Believe A Man Can Fly tagline was unofficially replaced with You Won't Really Believe A Man Can Fly At All, Not Even If You Squint Really Hard Or Are Drunk – to see that. But let's try to keep things in perspective. If there was ever a franchise that deserved a budget cut like this, it's Pirates Of The Caribbean.
Successful though they were, the last two Pirates Of The Caribbean movies were pretty hard to watch – full of so much guff and bloat that they were like witnessing a sort of frenzied Michael Bay cheese dream. Little things like self-editing and narrative coherence were abandoned in favour of vast, meaningless spectacle. Millions of ideas were hurled against the wall – let's have an army of crabs that look like pebbles! Let's hire Keith Richards! Let's have a load of boats going round a whirlpool for what seems like 45 straight minutes! – and they all ended up making the final cut. The result? Two impenetrable, outrageously expensive, painfully long sequels that only succeeded in diminishing the appeal of the original. With $100m less to fanny around with, Jerry Bruckheimer and Rob Marshall will have to learn that that art thrives on limitations. God knows that Bruckheimer could do with lesson on reining it in a bit.
And, besides, even if Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides ends up being made for $100m less than Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End, it will still have a budget of $200m. That's more than enough money to make a modern-day blockbuster without doing anything as drastic as setting it in Milton Keynes. Who knows, the cuts might even convince Rob Marshall to lop an hour or so off Pirates Of The Caribbean's traditionally punishing running time. Imagine – a Pirates Of The Caribbean film that you can watch without getting pins and needles and a bulging lumbar disc. That sounds like heaven.
It probably wasn't deliberate, but by forcing Bruckheimer and Marshall to make some tough budgetary decisions, Disney might have helped Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides to rediscover what made the first film so special. Either that, or it's just commissioned Superman V. One or the other.

British Actor to Star with Johnny Depp and International Cast
BURBANK, Calif. (April 15, 2010) – Sam Claflin has been selected by producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Rob Marshall to star in the key role of Philip, a youthful missionary, in Walt Disney Pictures’/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ epic adventure “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” the fourth in the blockbuster series of films. Claflin joins Johnny Depp, returning in his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow, as well as Astrid Berges-Frisbey and an international cast. The film is slated to open on May 20, 2011.
Hailing from the United Kingdom, Claflin attended The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He then won roles in the historical mini-series “The Pillars of the Earth,” alongside actors Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Matthew MacFadyen and Donald Sutherland, followed by the telefilm “The Lost Future.”
“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is directed by Rob Marshall, whose first feature film was the Academy Award®-winning “Chicago,” followed by “Memoirs of a Geisha” and “Nine.” Producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s films include (producing with Don Simpson) “Top Gun,” “Beverly Hills Cop,” “Flashdance,” and (producing solo) “Con Air,” “Armageddon,” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy and the “National Treasure” franchise, as well as this summer’s “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” JBTV’s current series are “C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation” and its spin-offs “C.S.I.: Miami,” “C.S.I.: NY” and “Cold Case,” “The Amazing Race” and “Miami Medical.”

Previously, it was reported that Claflin was competing with another newcomer Max Irons for the leading part in the film. It appears that the "The Pillars of the Earth" star won the competition from his fellow British actor.
Few days before, the studio has added another name to the line-up of actors for "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". French actress Astrid Berges-Frisbey has been cast to portray a "beautiful and alluring young mermaid" called Syrena.
In "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", Johnny Depp will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow. Penelope Cruz is set to star opposite him, playing Blackbeard's daughter who will also have a flirt with Depp's character.
The fourth installment of the adventure film franchise will follow the eccentric pirate on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth. Rob Marshall will serve behind the lens when shooting starts in Hawaii this summer for a scheduled May 20, 2011 U.S. release.

How Jack Sparrow let Johnny Depp soar
By Tom Shone, The Daily TelegraphMarch 15, 2010LONDON — Which is more eccentric, Johnny Depp’s performances or the influences he claims lie behind each one? It’s a close run thing. For his role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise Depp famously drew on Rolling Stone Keith Richards, but also Parisian cartoon skunk Pepe Le Pew. "I’m absolutely convinced that he’s a great ladies man," he said of the latter. For his turn as the abysmally self-convinced director Ed Wood, Depp channelled some of Ronald Reagan’s eternal optimism (ouch). For Willy Wonka, he combined Michael Jackson and Anna Wintour (double ouch). And for Edward Scissorhands, he drew on both Buster Keaton and a favourite childhood pet dog. "When he’d done something wrong and you’d reprimanded him, he would cower away," Depp recalled, "but the second you called him back he would be there, bright and full of love."
What do you notice about that lot? First, that there are not many figures in there that Depp really likes. Second, that when he does base a character on someone he admires - as in Pirates and Scissorhands - he comes up with his best performances. As an actor Depp is not always best served by his own instincts, which are essentially those of a parodist: sly, side-winding, self-subverting. There was a time - in between thumping photographers, trashing hotel rooms and turning down roles in Titanic, Speed and Interview With the Vampire - when you wondered if he really wanted to be a movie star. He hated being photographed, didn’t watch his own movies, spent most of his early career in flight from the heart-throb status thrust on him by the Eighties teen soap 21 Jump Street, and took a spray can to his image by choosing roles such as a teen rebel in John Waters’s Cry-Baby and the lead in Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton’s majestic film about a boy who cannot touch those he loves. Beneath the fright wigs and angora sweaters of his seven Burton collaborations, from Edward Scissorhands to Alice in Wonderland, it’s easy to overlook the extent to which the director indulges Depp’s desire to curl up and disappear.
His range is narrow but deep. As easy as it is to mock some of his more outre pet projects - he tinkered for years with his directorial debut The Brave, an unreleasable farrago about Indians and snuff movies starring the late Marlon Brando - there’s no denying that on a good day off-kilter intensity is precisely what gives those Cherokee cheekbones of his their resonant frequency. He was ineffably gentle playing Leonardo DiCaprio’s older brother in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, the first film to uncover a deep protective streak in the actor. When directors manage to ignite his sense of chivalry, they are in luck.
His work in Ed Wood, by contrast, fastened onto the B-movie director’s delusion and never let go. It’s not his fault that Burton’s conception of Wood didn’t seem to extend much beyond finding his awful movies funny.
Burton’s own tend to resemble a collection of colourful cameos in search of a lead, with Depp at his happiest on the sidelines, letting off firecrackers. It is a crowning irony of Depp’s career that when one of his kooks finally did hit home with an audience - the props, the beard, the teeth, the accent, the mannerisms all finally coming together into one magnificent package - it was not in a Burton film, but in a Disney theme-park-ride turned summer-franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean, no less.
It’s hard to overstate the importance of that film’s success, not just financially but creatively. It proved two things: firstly that Depp, like most artists, is best when swimming upstream rather than when surrounded by like-minded collaborators. He had to fight for Sparrow. Disney executives took one look at the character and said: "He’s gay, he’s drunk. What are you guys doing?!" The actor replied: "Trust me or fire me." And secondly it proved Depp could still connect with the popular audience that had been all but ready to give up on him.
Since Pirates, Depp has almost been a different actor, as if something in that movie freed up something in him, allowing him to finally relax into the role of movie star. He allowed himself to be adored by Marion Cotillard in Michael Mann’s Public Enemies - a neat echo of the love affair between Depp (now 46 years old) and the entire female population of France, where he lives with his long-term partner, actress Vanessa Paradis. It’s hard to imagine the Depp of old snapping off Dillinger’s smooth chat-up lines with such old-school movie-star panache as he does in Mann’s film. He is currently in Venice with Angelina Jolie, filming the new thriller from the director of The Lives of Others. There was a time when Jolie would have eaten Depp for lunch. Now, I’m not so sure.
