When returning from a night shoot on one of the Caribbean islands, Keira Knightley's boat struck a reef and went down. The only people aboard were Knightley, her mother and the boat's skipper, all of whom escaped unharmed and were rescued within a few hours. However, the incident ultimately determined that the rest of the island night shoots needed would complete filming in a studio, rather than on location. Stick around after the credits for an additional scene. On August 10, 2002, a fire started on the soundstage where the movie was shot. Nobody was hurt and the damage was estimated to be $350,000. Captain Barbossa's first name is Hector. Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Tobey Maguire, and Christian Bale were all considered for the role of Will Turner. Michael Keaton, Jim Carrey, and Christopher Walken were all considered for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. According to the screenwriters' commentary on the DVD, Will Turner is the best swordsman in the film, Barbossa and Commodore Norrington are evenly matched, and Jack Sparrow is actually the worst. The final cannon shot during the Black Pearl's siege of the town, billows into a Mickey Mouse head shape against the night sky When Will wakes up after being knocked out he looks out into the port and you can see the same girl who played the young Elizabeth sweeping at a doorway (Lucinda Dryzek). In an attempt to ward off the seasickness that struck the rest of the cast and crew, Keira Knightley took a travel sickness pill... and fell asleep instead. The substance sprayed on William Turner after the sword fight between him and Captain Jack Sparrow is actually powdered chocolate. According to the screenwriters' commentary on the DVD, Will Turner is the best swordsman in the film, Barbossa and Commodore Norrington are evenly matched, and Jack Sparrow is actually the worst. Industrial Light and Magic designers scanned turkey jerky to create the effect of decomposing skin when the pirates turn into their skeletal forms. |
