Trailer Reactions

As I promised, here are my reactions to the trailer. Visit the website at http://www.deadmanscast.com

Sunset
The ocean from below looking up
A ship sailing through the waterWalt Disney LogoThe song "Yo Ho A Pirate's Life for Me" is sung by a little girlShot of Jack's Compass
First thing I thought was: “Hmm, what could this compass be pointing through?” not many other clues besides it’s Jack who is holding it.Shot of Elizabeth looking up
What is she looking at? And is that the Black Pearl in the background.TIA DALMA: (Voice-Over)What would you do? What would any of you be willing to do? Would you go and brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end to fetch back witty Jack? Shot of Barbossa coming down the stairsShot of sailing through icy waters
Where is this? And what ship is that? It looks Oriental with the style of the sails. It is also very small.Barbossa looking at map
Judging from Elizabeth in the background, they are in a very cold place. Possibly even aboard the ship seen in the previous view. What is on these charts that Barbossa has? A shot of an upside down ship
This is quite amazing. I wonder if this is some sort of limbo world. Possibly on the quest to find Jack Sparrow?
A shot of a figure swimming underwater
This appears to be Will, but no certainties.A shot of a huge waterfall falling into nothing, pulls back to reveal a ship hanging off the edge
This is probably hinting at a literal term of ‘World’s End’Jack enters the shot from below the screen, camera pans around and we see his face
I believe Jack is standing in the middle of a desert here.Shot of Jack Sparrow on the deck of ship talking to his crew
There are a lot of Asian pirates in this crowd. Either new crew or new ship.JACK SPARROW: Did no one come to save me just because they missed me?Shot of everyone looking speechless
I just love this shot. It’s a mixture of confusion and incredulity on their faces.
Shot of Will and Elizabeth, speechless
This shot is fairly funny too. I can just imagine both Will and Elizabeth thinking “Oh why?” or “Did we have to save him?”Shot of Jack the Monkey raising its handShot of Jack's reaction
Great reaction shot.May 25
Shot of someone jumping out of a rowboat onto a beach with a castaway boat in background.
This appears to be Will just by the style of clothing. What is the boat in the background.Barbossa talking to Sao Feng
I took this as Barbossa trying to convince Sao Feng to join him as allies.
BARBOSSA: There was a time when a pirate was free to make his own way in the world but our time is coming to an end.
Shot of small black ship in a burning waterway.
Who is on that boat and why and how did that water city set of fire.
Scene of Jack on top of sails
This reminds me of the first movie for Jack’s entrance. Look at the beach below. Who are all those people.Shot of Will in Singapore with a red shirt
Will looks really fantastic in red. Is he walking towards Barbossa? The look on his face at the end implies realization.Shot of Elizabeth in Singapore
She’s probably thinking here “I’m in trouble.” Who are all the people around her?Shot of Pintel and RagettiShot of cannon firing
So we will get our sea battle!Jack standing on sandy beach
Is this a beach or a desert? What is with all the boat parts buried behind him.JACK SPARROW: Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past. One of you succeeded.
I love this line. And make sure to be note of four. Elizabeth obviously. Barbossa for in the first movie and the mutiny, Will in the first movie sword fighting. Is Tia Dalma the fourth? Or is someone else in that crowd that we cannot see?Shot of everyone looking at Elizabeth who looks awkwardly back.
I love Elizabeth’s reaction shot to that. Is Will realizing why she did it at that point? Or is he just reacting to Jack’s statement?
Shot of firing British
Are these Port Royal soldiers? If so, they have new uniforms. If not, who are they?A shot of Beckett looking at something with his telescope
What is he looking at? Notice the Black Pearl and the other ship in the background.Shot of Day Jones and crew
The CGI Animation looks slightly better. I don’t see Bootstrap Bill in this shot.
BARBOSSA: Our enemies have united and have vowed to destroy us.
There is the plot. You can tell all from that one line. They must ally the enemies of their enemies.Shot of Beckett standing with some Navy soldiers and looking at a sword
Shot of Will looking wet and unhappy and tied to a large shoot of bamboo
He is tied up here and looking very unhappy. Notice how this shot is shown over the line ‘vowed to destroy us’ Is this a hint? Other questions to consider is Where is he. It appears that he is with Sao Feng as in a latter shot, Feng is shown in a room with the same brick and lighting. Why is Will tied up? And is he hurt?
Shot of Davy Jones and Beckett
BECKETT: If we fight then all of you will die.
He is talking to Jack/Will/Barbossa/Elizabeth/Tia? He did use the word you. And apparently he is allied with Davy Jones.
Shot of Elizabeth and Barbossa
It looks as though they are fighting those blue and red costumed soldiers. Who else is fighting with them on their side?
Shot of Barbossa standing on the deck of the Black Pearl
BARBOSSA: The pirate lore from the four corners of the earth.
These next four shots are very interesting. They represent the four corners obviously, but I cannot tell exactly which corners.Shot of Jack Sparrow
Caribbean pirates
Shot of an Mediterranean pirate
This could possibly be a Mediterranean pirate.
Shot of Middle East pirate
Middle East piratesShot of Sao Feng in a dungeon setting
Oriental pirates. Sao Feng appears to be in the same setting as Will was in the shot when he was tied up. Will could have been captured then brought to him. Or Sao Feng is just being pleasant to his prisoners.
SAO FENG: Welcome to Singapore
Shot of pirates going into battle
BARBOSSA: Must stand together.
Shot of Barbossa surrounded by crew.
They appear to be in a locality with many ships. They are on one. There is also a large cliff behind them. Maybe the one with Tortuga? Or is this the meeting at Shipwreck Cove described in the plot?
BARBOSSA: There’s not been a gathering like this in our lifetimeShot of a Jolly Roger pirate flag
There are lots of flags in this shot, which represents the gathering of all the pirates.
Shot of Jack and Barbossa with crew around
JACK SPARROW: And I owe them all money.
Why does he owe them money? Will this play a part in the film or is this just humor?
WALT DISNEY PICTURES PRESENTS
Shot of the Black Pearl sailingShot of Jack and Elizabeth talking
It looks as though the whole ship paused so they could talk. So maybe Jack said something to provoke Elizabeth.ELIZABETH: It would have never worked out between us.JACK SPARROW: Keep telling yourself that, darling.
He’s thinking ‘I’ll get her in the end’
Shot of Will sword fighting
He is fighting among the red and blue coated soldiers. I’m guessing that he is fighting against them.
Shot of Jack and Gibbs banging fists
They appear to be in Port Royal.
Shot of Barbossa firing a gun in the air
Shot of an explosion
They appears to be in some sort of Oriental city. Possibly the burning one that we viewed earlier?
Shot of Tia Dalma, Barbossa, Gibbs, Pintel and Ragetti on a dark ship deck
They appear confused, or in wonder.
Shot of Beckett sitting at a table, map in background
Is that a chess set before him?CUTLER BECKETT: They know they face extinction.
I take it that ‘they’ implies Jack Sparrow and company. But who knows, there could be a plot twist!
Shot of Will and Barbossa
Will sees something, but what?
Shot of a scared Elizabeth
She looks as though she is about to shout something. She appears surprised at the very least, if not frightened.
Shot of a (possibly) scared Jack
Something is daunting Jack.
BECKETT: All that remains is where they make their final stand.
Shot of a large whirlpool and a ship sailing towards it
What a fantastic shot. This will be a fantastic scene. Notice the many ships on the horizon.
Shot of a laughing Barbossa at a ships wheelShot of two ships battling in whirlpool, stormy waters
And that will be the final stand. Flying Dutchman and Black Pearl.
FROM PRODUCER JERRY BRUCKHEIMER AND DIRECTOR GORE VERBINSKI
Shot of Jack looking confusedShot of ship sailing through sand
This must be the after-life, alternate dimension, Jack is in. That is most likely sand.
Shot of pirates thrusting swords through the ceiling of a ship
This is a very interesting sequence. I can make out Pintel and Ragetti throwing swords. Barbossa, Elizabeth catch them. Shot of Barbossa and Elizabeth catching the swords
Shot of Jack opening his eyes wide
Show of a chained ball on the ground
This appears to be either Will or Barbossa. Why he is doing that with the cannon ball, or weighted chain, I don’t know. But I can see the other pirates from the four corners around the table.
Shot of ship falling down a waterfall
This must be them going to fetch Jack.
Shot of Will punching a British Navy solider
Here is another shot from the battle.
Shot of an exploding ship and a person jumping away
This appears to be Will, though you cannot really tell for sure.Shot of a character falling/swinging from the sails
This appears to be Jack swinging from the Dutchman’s sails.
Shot of Jack turning a piece in a floor
Well this could be a pivotal plot point, or detail here. It appears to be a skewed map of the world on each of the pieces.Will and Elizabeth kiss in the rain on the deck
This is possibly even more romantic than the kiss on the beach in the second film. Notice the water sinking the ship. Does Will suspect they may not live through it?
Shot of the ship upturning and water flying in, Elizabeth and Will are embraced
Shot of pirates swinging onto the deck of the ship
Who are the pirates swinging onto the ship.WILL TURNER: Will you marry me?
Didn’t they already go though this? He had to have already asked her since the beginning of the second film was them getting married.
Shot of Jack whacking Davy Jones with a plank of wood
Ouch, but good shot.
Shot of Black Pearl crew looking away from an explosion
Where is that explosion? Probably on a ship.ELIZABETH: I don’t think that was the best time!Jack and Davey Jones fight with swords on top of ship, while Jack is holding onto the Dead Man's chest. Camera pans around to show and epic fight
Wow, this will probably be the pivotal point in the movie and possibly the thing I’m most excited to see.JOHNNY DEPPA Shot of Jack Sparrow
Shot of Jack sparrow on sand next to the Black Pearl
Sand again.ORLANDO BLOOMShot of Will pointing pistol
Who is he pointing those at? If I had to take a guess, it’s Jack.
Shot of Will by a ships wheel turning, bandanna on head.
He appears to be on the Dutchman.KEIRA KNIGHTLEY
Shot of Elizabeth turning on a deck of Singapore piratesShot of Elizabeth underwater
Is she being forced underwater? Look at all the shipwreck around her.CHOW YUN-FATShot of Sao Feng looking angry
That is one wicked brand/tattoo.
Shot of Sao Feng turning in a dungeon. Two Singapore girls stand on either side.
This again appears to be in the same locality when he says “Welcome to Singapore” and where Will was tied up.and GEFFREY RUSH Shot of Barbossa taking out a sword, Jack standing before him.
Is there going to be a swordfight between him and Jack?
Shot of a burning East India Trading Company flag
Does this represent the end of the trading company?
Shot of an exploding building
Shot of Davy Jones pulling Jack onto the sails to finish a fight
Is he doing that to finish Jack off himself? Or does he just want the chest?
Shot of Jack looking shockedCUTLER BECKETT: You're mad!A shot of Jack with a lit torch standing next to a cannonJACK SPARROW: If I wasn’t, this probably never would have worked!
This describes Johhny Depp’s whole Jack Sparrow. If he wasn’t mad, none of these movies would have ever worked. Notice the East India flag.
Shot of a cannon firing and Jack grinning then getting tugged upwards
Shot of Jack swinging
What was that all about?
Shot of Will running along a deck
Where is he? What is he running from/to?
Shot of Elizabeth in water
Is she shouting for help?
Shot of a character falling from a ship
Who?
Shot of a Davy Jones like character opening his eyes. Resembles Jack Sparrow
I think most likely this is Jack Sparrow. Just compare. The eyes, the hair, the facial hair, the mouth and the nose shape. It’s Jack Sparrow. Could this be what they find him like at the beginning of the film? Or is it not even Jack?Shot of huge ship battleShot of Barbossa, Elizabeth, and Jack walking on beach
Where?Shot of Will looking worried
Shot of Barbossa turning his head at a ships wheel
Shot of a ship breaking apart
Is this the work of the Kraken? If anyone has seen the fifty-seven or so pages of the script, it says the Kraken had died, but who knows, plots change at a moments notice.
Shot of Jack blowing steam off his pistolPIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S ENDMAY 25

Final Reaction: This movie is going to be amazing and with all the things going on this summer: Harry Potter, Spiderman, Shrek, Pirates is going to make it a summer to remember! Start working on your costumes everyone!
