Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a 2003 American fantasy swashbuckler film based on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disney theme parks. It was directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer.[3] The story follows pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) as they rescue the kidnapped Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) from the cursed crew of the Black Pearl, captained by Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), who become undead skeletons at night.

Jay Wolpert developed a script based on the theme park ride in 2001, and Stuart Beattie rewrote it in early 2002. Around that time, producer Jerry Bruckheimer became involved in the project; he had Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio work on the script, adding the supernatural curse to the storyline. Filming took place from October 2002 to March 2003 in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and on sets constructed around Los Angeles, California.

The world premiere was held at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, on June 28, 2003. The film became the first in a series, with two back-to-back sequels, Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, released in 2006 and 2007. A fourth film, On Stranger Tides, was released in 2011 and a fifth film, Dead Men Tell No Tales, is scheduled for release in 2017.

The film received positive reviews from critics and was an unexpected success, grossing over $654 million worldwide with many considering it to be the finest film in the series itself. Johnny Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow was universally praised, winning him the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role and earned him nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor, BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. The Curse of the Black Pearl was also nominated for four other Academy Awards and BAFTAs.

Plot

In the late 18th Century while sailing to Port Royal, Jamaica, Governor Weatherby Swann, his daughter Elizabeth, and Lieutenant James Norrington encounter a burning shipwreck and recover a young boy, Will Turner. Elizabeth discovers a golden pirate medallion owned by Will, but keeps it so as to protect him. As boats are launched to scour the wrecked merchantman, Elizabeth sees a ghost ship vanishing into the fog. Eight years later, Norrington is promoted to the rank of Commodore and proposes to Elizabeth, but her tight corset causes her to faint and fall into the sea. Will's necklace, which she is wearing, casts a summoning spell. She is rescued by Captain Jack Sparrow, whom Norrington identifies as a pirate due to his branded mark; Sparrow came to Port Royal intending to commandeer a ship. Jack attempts to escape but runs into Will, now a blacksmith and talented swordsman. They engage in a duel, but Jack is knocked unconscious and captured by Norrington’s men, and imprisoned.

Later, the Black Pearl, the ship Elizabeth saw as a child, attacks Port Royal in search of the medallion by which it was summoned. Two pirates, Pintel and Ragetti, capture Elizabeth and take her to meet Captain Barbossa to negotiate the pirates' disengagement. Elizabeth says her last name is Turner, to conceal her identity as the governor's daughter, but is held as Barbossa's prisoner. When Elizabeth tries unsuccessfully to kill him, Barbossa reveals to her that his crew are cursed as immortals, after taking the Aztec treasure of Cortez from Isla de Muerta, and they appear as skeletons in moonlight. In order to free themselves, the crew have been gathering all 882 gold pieces and giving blood sacrifices, but they still need the last piece and the blood of its owner to lift the curse.

Will frees Jack from prison to rescue Elizabeth, with whom he is enamored. Though reluctant at first, Jack agrees upon learning Will’s surname. The two commandeer the HMS Interceptor, infuriating Norrington. They head for the lawless port of Tortuga to recruit a crew for the vessel; among them is Jack’s friend Joshamee Gibbs. Jack reveals that Will’s father, Bootstrap Bill Turner, was a pirate himself, a fact which confuses and angers the law-abiding Will. Gibbs informs Will that Jack was captain of the Black Pearl until Barbossa mutinied and marooned him on an island. Jack escaped, however, and vowed revenge on Barbossa. Thus, Jack has an ulterior motive for chasing the Pearl. Arriving at Isla de Muerta, Will and Jack observe Barbossa commencing the blood ritual, which fails because Elizabeth is not the child of Bootstrap Bill, whose bloodline are the true owners of the medallion. Will rescues Elizabeth and brings her to the Interceptor, while Jack confronts Barbossa and is locked in the Pearl’s brig.

The Pearl pursues the Interceptor, taking the crew hostage and destroying the ship. Will makes a deal with Barbossa to release Elizabeth in exchange for his blood to lift the curse, but Barbossa exploits a loophole in the agreement and maroons Jack and Elizabeth on the same island Jack was left on before. Elizabeth makes a smoke signal using Jack’s hidden supply of rum, alerting Norrington, who arrives in the ship-of-the-line HMS Dauntless to rescue Elizabeth and arrest Jack. Norrington agrees to fulfill Elizabeth's request to return for Will after she accepts his proposal. Jack and Norrington plot an assault on the pirates whereby Jack will lure them out to be ambushed by Marines, but the plan goes awry when Barbossa sends his crew underwater to attack the Dauntless. Elizabeth, confined to the Dauntless, escapes and frees Jack’s crew from the Pearl, though they refuse to help her rescue Will and she sets out on her own.

Jack, having seemingly reached a deal with Barbossa to operate a pirate fleet, suddenly frees Will and engages in a duel with Barbossa, while Elizabeth and Will fight off the pirate crew. Barbossa eventually stabs Jack, but Jack reveals that he is cursed after stepping into a ray of moonlight, having taken and kept a piece of gold from Cortez’s chest. He reveals the entire deception as a cleverly conceived strategy to win back the Pearl. Jack then shoots Barbossa, with Will simultaneously lifting the curse by dropping the blood-stained medallion into the chest; Barbossa dies, and the rest of the crew, now mortal, are captured or killed by the Navy; Jack, Elizabeth, and Will escape the island.

A short time later, Jack is led to the gallows to be hanged for piracy. Will attempts a rescue, with Elizabeth diverting Norrington's attention, but the pair are quickly surrounded and held at gunpoint. Elizabeth intercedes and declares her love for Will, leaving Norrington crestfallen. Jack dives into the sea and escapes aboard the Black Pearl, which is waiting nearby. Governor Swann pardons Will and gives his blessing for Elizabeth to marry him. Norrington decides to permit Jack and the Pearl "one day's head start" before initiating pursuit.

In a post-credits scene, Barbossa’s pet monkey Jack regains immortality by stealing a piece of gold from the chest.

Production

Development

During the early 1990s, screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio began to think of a supernatural spin on the pirate genre.[10] Walt Disney Pictures had Jay Wolpert write a script based on the ride in 2001, which was based on a story created by the executives Brigham Taylor, Michael Haynes, and Josh Harmon. This story featured Will Turner as a prison guard who releases Sparrow to rescue Elizabeth, who is being held for ransom money by Captain Blackheart.

Disney was unsure whether to release the film in theaters or direct-to-video. The studio was interested in Matthew McConaughey as Sparrow because of his resemblance to Burt Lancaster, who had inspired that script's interpretation of the character. If they chose to release it direct-to-video, Christopher Walken or Cary Elwes would have been their first choices.[11]

Stuart Beattie was brought in to rewrite the script in March 2002, because of his knowledge of piracy.[9] When Dick Cook managed to convince producer Jerry Bruckheimer to join the project,[11] he rejected the script because it was "a straight pirate movie."[7] Later in March 2002, he brought Elliott and Rossio,[7] who suggested making a supernatural curse – as described in the opening narration of the ride – the film's plot.[12]

In May 2002, Gore Verbinski signed on to direct Pirates of the Caribbean.[9] He was attracted to the idea of using modern technology to resurrect a genre that had disappeared after the Golden Age of Hollywood and recalled his childhood memories of the ride, feeling the film was an opportunity to pay tribute to the "scary and funny" tone of it.[5]

Jim Carrey was considered for the part of Jack Sparrow. However, the production schedule for The Curse of the Black Pearl conflicted with Bruce Almighty, which has been one of Carrey’s biggest successes. Others considered for the role include Michael Keaton and Christopher Walken.[13] Although Cook had been a strong proponent of adapting Disney's rides into films, the box office failure of The Country Bears made Michael Eisner attempt to shut down production of Pirates of the Caribbean. However, Verbinski told his concept artists to keep working on the picture, and when Eisner came to visit, the executive was astonished by what had been created.

As recalled in the book DisneyWar, Eisner pondered "Why does it have to cost so much?" Bruckheimer replied, "Your competition is spending $150 million," referring to franchises like The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix. Eisner concurred, but with the stigma attached to theme-park adaptations, Eisner requested Verbinski and Bruckheimer remove some of the more overt references to the ride in the script, such as a scene where Sparrow and Turner enter the cave via a waterfall.[14]

Influence of the Monkey Island series of games

Ted Elliott was allegedly writing a Steven Spielberg-produced animated film adaptation of The Curse of Monkey Island, which was cancelled before its official announcement, three years prior to the release of The Curse of the Black Pearl.[15] This film was allegedly in production at Industrial Light and Magic before being cancelled.

Ron Gilbert, the creator of the Monkey Island series, has jokingly expressed a bitterness towards Pirates of the Caribbean, specifically the second film, for its similarities to his game.[16] Gilbert has also stated that On Stranger Tides, a novel by Tim Powers which was adapted into the fourth film, was the principal source of inspiration for his video games.[17]

Filming and design

Verbinski did not want an entirely romanticized feel to the film: he wanted a sense of historical fantasy. Most of the actors wore prosthetics and contact lenses. Depp had contacts that acted as sunglasses, while Rush and Lee Arenberg wore dulled contacts that gave a sinister feel to the characters. Mackenzie Crook wore two contacts to represent his character's wooden eye: a soft version, and a harder version for when it protrudes. In addition, their rotten teeth and scurvy skin were dyed on,[18] although Depp did have gold teeth added, which he forgot to remove after filming.[19] Depp also used a genuine pistol which was made in 1760 in London, which the crew bought from a dealer in Connecticut.[18] A number of swords were built for the production by blacksmith Tony Swatton.[20] The crew spent five months creating the cavern in which Barbossa and the Black Pearl crew attempt to reverse their curse,[10] filling it with five feet of water, 882 Aztec coins, and some gold paint on the styrofoam rocks for more impressions of treasure. The crew also built the fortress at Port Royal in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, and Governor Swann's palace was built at Manhattan Beach.[18] A fire broke out in September 2002, causing $525,000 worth of damage, though no one was injured.[21]

The barge used for the Dauntless

The filmmakers chose St. Vincent as their primary shooting location, as it contained the quietest beach they could find, and built three piers and a backlot for Port Royal and Tortuga.[18] Of most importance to the film were the three ships: the Black Pearl, the Dauntless, and the Interceptor. For budget reasons, the ships were built on docks, with only six days spent in the open sea for the battle between the Black Pearl and the Interceptor.[22] The Dauntless and the Black Pearl were built on barges, with computer-generated imagery finishing the structures. The Black Pearl was also built on the Spruce Goose stage, in order to control fog and lighting.[18] The Interceptor was a re-dressed Lady Washington, a full-scale replica sailing ship from Aberdeen, Washington, fully repainted before going on a 40-day voyage beginning December 2, 2002, arriving on location on January 12, 2003.[23] A miniature was also built for the storm sequence.[18]

Principal photography began on October 9, 2002 and wrapped by March 7, 2003.[9] The quick shoot was only marred by two accidents: as Jack Sparrow steals the Interceptor, three of the ropes attaching it to the Dauntless did not break at first, and when they did snap, debris hit Depp's knee, though he was not injured, and the way the incident played out on film made it look like Sparrow merely ducks. A more humorous accident was when the boat Sparrow was supposed to arrive in at Port Royal sank.[5] In October, the crew was shooting scenes at Rancho Palos Verdes, by December they were shooting at Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and in January they were at the cavern set at Los Angeles.[24] The script often changed with Elliott and Rossio on set, with additions such as Gibbs (Kevin McNally) telling Will how Sparrow allegedly escaped from an island – strapping two turtles together with rope made of his back hair – and Pryce was written into the climactic battle to keep some empathy for the audience.[5]

Because of the quick schedule of the shoot, Industrial Light & Magic immediately began visual effects work. While the skeletal forms of the pirates revealed by moonlight take up relatively little screentime, the crew knew their computer-generated forms had to convince in terms of replicating performances and characteristics of the actors, or else the transition would not work. Each scene featuring them was shot twice: a reference plate with the actors, and then without them to add in the skeletons,[10] an aesthetic complicated by Verbinski's decision to shoot the battles with handheld cameras.[5] The actors also had to perform their scenes again on the motion capture stage.[18] With the shoot only wrapping up four months before release, Verbinski spent 18-hour days on the edit,[5] while at the same time spending time on 600 effects shots, 250 of which were merely removing modern sailboats from shots.[25]

Music

Verbinski managed the score with Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer, who headed 15 composers to finish it quickly.[5] Alan Silvestri, who had collaborated with Verbinski on Mouse Hunt and The Mexican, was set to compose the score, but Bruckheimer decided to go with Zimmer's team instead, who were frequent collaborators of his productions. Silvestri left the production before recording any material.[26]

Rating

Pirates of the Caribbean was the first film released under the Walt Disney Pictures banner to be rated PG-13 by the MPAA; one executive noted that she found the film too intense for her five-year-old child.[7] Nonetheless, the studio was confident enough to add The Curse of the Black Pearl subtitle to the film in case sequels were made,[9] and to attract older children. Verbinski disliked the new title because it is the Aztec gold rather than the ship that is cursed, so he requested the title to be unreadable on the poster.[14]

Reception

Box office

The film was a great success. However, before its release, many journalists expected Pirates of the Caribbean to be a flop. The pirate genre had not been successful for years, with Cutthroat Island (1995) a notable flop. The film was also based on a theme park ride, and Depp, known mostly for starring in cult films, had little track record as a box office leading man.[27]

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl opened at #1, grossing $46,630,690 in its opening weekend and $70,625,971 since its Wednesday launch. It eventually made its way to $654,264,015 worldwide ($305,413,918 domestically and $348,850,097 overseas), becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2003.[2]

Overseas, it dominated for seven consecutive weekends at the box office,[28] tying the record of Men in Black II at the time.[29] Only three movies after that broke the record, its sequel, Dead Man's Chest, (with nine consecutive #1 weekends and ten in total),[30] Avatar (with 11 consecutive #1 weekends)[31] and The Smurfs (with eight consecutive #1 weekends).[32] It is currently the 71st-highest-grossing film of all time.[33]

Critical reception

The film has received mostly positive reviews, with Depp's performance being universally praised. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 79% of 206 sampled critics gave the film positive reviews and that it received a rating average of 7.1/10. The site's consensus is that "It may leave you exhausted like the theme park ride that inspired it; however, you'll have a good time when it's over."[34] At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 63 based on 40 reviews indicating generally favorable reviews .[35] Alan Morrison of Empire felt it was "the best blockbuster of the summer," acclaiming all the comic performances despite his disappointment with the swashbuckling sequences.[36] Roger Ebert acclaimed Depp and Rush's performances, with "It can be said that [Depp's] performance is original in its every atom. There has never been a pirate, or for that matter a human being, like this in any other movie... his behavior shows a lifetime of rehearsal." However, he felt the film went for too long,[37] a criticism shared by Kenneth Turan's negative review, feeling it "spends far too much time on its huge supporting cast of pirates (nowhere near as entertaining as everyone assumes) and on bloated adventure set pieces," despite having also enjoyed Depp's performance.[38]

Accolades

For his performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp won several awards, including Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role at the 10th Screen Actors Guild Awards, Best Male Performance at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards, and Best Actor at the 9th Empire Awards. Depp was also nominated for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy at the 61st Golden Globe Awards, Best Actor in a Leading Role at the 57th British Academy Film Awards, and Best Actor at the 76th Academy Awards, in which The Curse of the Black Pearl also received nominations for Best Makeup, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects.[39] Awards won by Curse of the Black Pearl include Best Make-up/Hair at the 57th British Academy Film Awards, Saturn Award for Best Costumes, Golden Reel Award for Sound Editing, two VES Awards for Visual Effects, and the People's Choice Award for Favorite Motion Picture.[40]

The fourth sequel was revealed to be called, Dead Men Tell No Tales.[51][52][53] Production is slated to begin in October 2014 and was scheduled for a summer 2016 release,[54] but was eventually delayed to 2017.[55] It is to be directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.[51][52][53]
