I've Seen Pirates 3

This movie fucking rocks.... confusing, yes, but it's a daring example of how rich a movie can be. This is the ultimate way of finishing a trilogy... this ranks up there with "Return of the King". This is a movie that'll reward you on every showing - you'll find more depth to all the characters, especially when you watch the first and second movie again.

I'm seeing it again on Monday :)

Pirates III : Character Designs

They had to expand the crew of the Flying Dutchman on the 3rd Pirates... here are some of the designs... Enjoy!!!!





“Wyvern Jack - Did some sketches early on to establish how much of him is withered away. Did some portraits to establish detail and experiment with his age. Tried variations where he looked 100 years old and encrusted. But it started moving away from being recognizable as Jack. Eventually settled on a Jack that was very crusty but not so aged.”


“Broondjongen - Final design by Model supervisor Geoff Campbell. His torso splits into open into a clamshell a withered figure contorted inside the clam in a death frieze. Like when a dominant twin will absorb it's sibling in utero and always has vestigial remnants of dead sibling.”


“Jelly - I tried to make his condition look corrosive and translucent. Looked at reference of Ebola where the skin begins to rash and liquify. The human bits you can see underneath the jellyfish membrane start to look like he was regressing back to an embryo. Like he was de-evolving. I looked at reference of chicken embryos developing in eggs. Also made one of Jelly's eyes entirely black and lifeless like he has an eight ball hemorrhage.”

“Manray - Elongated the tail on the back of his head. Almost like when a robber wears a stocking over his face and it pushes and pulls the features of their face flattening and distorting them. Gave him silver eyes and very small pupils to look like psychopath.”

“Piper - I tried not to give him specific eyes. Instead added many coral tubule holes to his face so to resemble many possible eyes like a spider.”

“Finnegan - Gore wanted him to have the coloring of a Rockfish. Very aggressive red spotting to compliment the sharp serrated fins on his body. We gave him a hair lip so he would have a perpetual distorted snarl. "

Can't wait for this one... very soon, along with Spidey 3... meh. I know which one will be better!

Pirates 3 Trailer Online!!!!

This looks fucking awesome, and I can't wait to see it.... I'm becoming obsessed with the second movie, trying to work out where they'll take it from here... even the writers commentary is insightful.

At World's End :Production Art

Here's a heap of production images from the new POTC movie... apparently Disney doesn't want these seen yet as they point to various plot points.... but hey, its more fun to sit and speculate, or wonder how they'll get these amazing images on-screen.

At World's End

Got some pics from the new Pirate flick coming next year... after my fave film moment of 2006 - Jack stepping into the mouth of the Kraken - I'm literally hanging to see the next film. The end of Dead Man's Chest is how a cliffhanger should end... take note makers of the Matrix....
