Hate to argue/debate on this thread, but let me point out things. Will Turner, Elizabeth Turner, Davy Jones, and a load of other characters are not coming back, characters that are a big part of the movie, including the two bozo pirates (raighetti and something?). They are adding BLACKBEARD who is definitely not going to match with previous movies, and they are going after the fountain of youth, which seems kinda silly to me. Maybe it won't be awful, but it will be very different... for better or for worse... still, I will see it.

Will and Elizabeth's stories have ended, and that is inarguable (they clearly made At World's End to end their stories). Now Davy Jones... this character was just one that was added with the second movie and his obvious fate was death. People who watched the film for Jones would just have to get used to the fact that he's gone, and that was intended to happen from the moment he entered into the screen. But I have to agree with Pintel and Ragetti. I really don't see why them, and the crew of the Black Pearl are not coming. Frankly, if the Pearl itself doesn't come I wonder what the story is going to be (they obviously will patch it with something great). And why do you state that Blackbeard is not going to match with the established movies? For At World's End they actually planned for him to come along with Anne Bonney, but that was scrapped. Nothing is wrong with him coming, and it rather makes everything better to have an ACTUAL pirate coming. And the Fountain of Youth was indeed the planned story for the 2nd movie, so it doesn't seem too far-fetched.

But I do agree with your final statement. The movie will be very different from the path the 2nd and 3rd took... For better or for worse. But keep in mind that the sequels to the first movie took a COMPLETELY different path from the original, let alone the path At World's End took from Dead Man's Chest. And it will be good, because, for now fans should only be interested in seeing Jack, Barbossa and Gibbs come, along with these new tag-alongs. And the story will actually be great because of these 3 factions that are heading to find the Foutain: Barbossa, Theodore Groves (Beckett's right hand man) and the Royal Navy; Jack Sparrow and his friends/"sidekicks"; and Blackbeard, Angelica and their crew. Not to mention the dangers they will face on the way....

Perhaps the movie wont be bad, but I think that it is going to be too different.... Will Turner is my favorite character by far, and not seeing him come back is a heartbreak for me (no not because I love him, he is just an amazing character). The reason the second and third movies are so different from the first is that first movies tend to always be introduction movies. To set the scene, characters, etc. Star Wars was like that wasn't it? The Phantom Menace really just set the scene for what was to come. I agree, maybe it won't be too bad, but it will be extremely different... and I don't think I will like that too much....

Oh how I love debate!

Well, from what I have read, they asked Orlando Bloom to return and he declined. I don't quite understand that because I haven't seen him in much lately. I am very much looking forward to this new direction, however I do agree with you about Pintel and Ragetti, they provided so much comic relief and I will miss them. Ello Poppit...

I know some of my relatives were extras in the last film... the whole family were extras. Nothing they did ended up on the screen but what they did most often was pretend play the major characters for test shots. They said it was really wild because they got to play all the parts of the major characters (no dialog of course) so they could test all the equipment and angles out. After they were done they would bring out the real cast to shoot the scene. They would have to repeat the same scene over and over for hours so that the actors could come out and do it in only a few takes. From what I heard some of the actors which were left hanging out in trailers waiting were not really happy about it but I only heard that about some of the minor characters. They had a blast though. A great way to spend the week as a family I guess.... they still talk about it all the time...lol

I've seen the first two. But yeah I know what you mean about lots of people not seeing them. Two of my best friends in real life haven't even seen the first one. I was shocked when I heard that, because I figured that these were the type of movies that everyone has seen!

While I don't know what you look like and generally people are harder on themselves regarding their looks then other people are. ( does that make sense) My curiosty is really peaked now about this movie since they wanted no "normal looking" people. lol

They wanted people that looked really weird or had missing limbs. You find out online when they have casting calls for extras ... no experience is needed but you dont really get paid either.

Lol, Bubba! You would be surprised at the amount of people who actually haven't seen the movies.
