“We were in the Survival Mode”: Disney, Disney, Director of the Caribbean pirates experienced hell on the squads of 2 and 3

If the Caribbean pirates: Black pearl curse was a great success in the room in 2003, about $ 655 million in revenue, we forget that at that time the company was very risky to not say groove.

Disney’s deep anxiety

Disney was then very concerned about the fact that his leaders were trying to shut down the project while the film was at the pre -production stage. Pirate movie? “The worst idea that can be!” Recalls Gor Verbinski, who was published in an interesting (and long) interview Collider site in March 2021.

In addition to the large reserves of the firm, Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp’s main actor, who did not consider the head of the ship at all, Disney also stopped the terrible failure of the film Renny Harlin Pirate Island in December 1995 in the United States.

Tandem for resuscitation of exotic adventure films shot by Gena Davis and Matthew Modin, unfortunately, is known to be one of the largest fots for American cinema with almost $ 10 million in the US and $ 18 million international. With $ 97 million losses, or $ 174 million, if compared to inflation, it is even the largest failure in the American box office, Porte du Paradis and 13th warrior. In addition to constantly sealing the career of his director and his wife’s actor …

With his five quotes on the Oscars, including Johnny Depp’s best actor, best makeup and best visual effects, the fourth largest box in the American box office, ie Disney was more released than he was largely released than the success of the Caribbean pirates.

That makes the firm in the big ears, wants to quickly place the command with his new favorite film director, the construction of the Caribbean pirates 2 and 3. Thus, two episodes behave simultaneously …

Shooting (and season) in hell

“He wanted two films as quickly as possible” Loose Gore Verbinski River Interview. “As long as you are here ” They turned them to stage 3 before you even get to the team. We took the end of the pirates 3 days after the start of the pirates’ 2 shooting because we left this place. We no longer needed to turn to Port Royals.

We have to move to another island, to make our plans to make Then we had to go to the Dominican Republic, then in Saint-Vincent and Grenadines, for just a few days. There was a scene that had to be shot at the end of 3 pirates, which had been planned for 5 days, which I had to do in half, so that we didn’t know what this pirate 3 scenario was! “

Shooting is even more difficult, already and as the director notes that the scenario of pirates 3 has not yet been connected. In fact, these were the outline of even more ideas than a good and proper form. “We were in good shape at the pirate 2 on the script level. We had 80 %but pirates 3 were just cards that became a plan … and page.

The process is so difficult, tiring and where everything unites that verbal has been forced to create a kind of “war room”; One for each of the films: “Knowing what we were starting to do Ted Sister Terry Rosio Their offices were next to Disney, and I also needed two other offices that I called the “Story of the Room”. People were talking about budgets, but we didn’t have a script, so we used cards, photos of filming places, preparatory pictures …

I do this process for all my films, frankly, except that in general, you do it before you have a green light! There, barely giving the green light, you already had hamsters and nails that were agitated in the construction of the set. I went in and cleaned in 2 pirates’ office, discussed the overall form of the film, and then in the room, about 3 pirates, I described what would happen in theory of history, who was betrayed. Script Work is being Constant, so we train oh, so delicately, especially given that this simultaneous shooting project is the pharaoh.

Destroyed kit

Cross stations were not stopped there for Gor Verbinsk. 300 days (!) It is necessary to perform simultaneous shoots, “We didn’t need to break. We had delays in the tank that was not built in Eszma. He was just not ready. When we planned the time we went to the scene, it was still in the process of construction.” Forced to break, Verbinski decides to make installation on hurry, just for a little time saving …

“We need to change the whole methodology of filming, then this delay led us to the storm season. He explains.

Transfer the Pirates of the Caribbean to the further production of pirates? To the question!

The pressure was terrible. Consider the Disney report that production may not be time? “It wasn’t an option either” Loose Verbinski, which adds that the expiry date is “The most important was” In the studio.

The journalist then shared gossip at the time that the filmmaker would lose significantly during the subsequent production of these two films due to the stress arising. Answer from the interested party: “Ah, no, on the contrary, I took 13kg. You don’t sleep, literally. I still remember Dick Cook Who would ask us: ‘Are we going to accept terms? Are we going to expire? “

Everything was done: mixing, calibration, visual effects, editing … ordinary things. But you will find yourself in an impossible, exhausted post -product calendar, as you have proven visual effects and spend the nights for cutting and exiting until you are again. We were in survival. “

The fact is that after this painful experience, which added white hair, Gor Verbinsky was not dissatisfied with the relays for the next episode, the pirates of the Caribbean: the fountain of youth. A great break time and the old project will come out of the closet, dating back to the pirates of the Caribbean. Anthropomorphic Chameleon History named Rango.
