Behind The Scenes Of Disney's First Pirates Of The Caribbean

Ahoy TheThings fans! Today we’re diving into some of the behind the scenes of the film that not only reignited a dying genre, but also kickstarted one of the biggest franchises in Hollywood history, and made Johnny Depp into a tried and true superstar. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was a definite risk by Disney at the time, the film had languished in development for years and was almost shut down months before filming. When it ultimately debuted in theaters in the summer of 2003, it was a monster hit and spawned four sequels. The film, which was directed by Gore Vebrinski and produced by legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer, followed the unholy reliance between blacksmith Will Turner and the flamboyant pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, as they go on a quest to save Will’s lost love as well as get Jack his old ship back from his allies turned rivals who are now undead. The Curse of the Black Pearl definitely took advantage of it’s hefty budget, from an extravagant makeup department, building ginormous sets, filming on actual remote islands, and constructing actual pirate ships or even remodeling ships to look like pirate ships. It took a lot of work, that ultimately paid off, to make the film that we still love today. So climb aboard and grab your pirate gear as we set sail to look at what happened behind the scenes of Disney’s 2003 hit Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl!
