The movie uses elements from Tim Powers' novel of the same name, particularly Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth, but the film is not a straight adaptation of the novel. Verbinski did not return to direct the fourth installment and was replaced by Rob Marshall. On Stranger Tides was first announced on September 28, 2008, during a Disney event at the Kodak Theatre. If there ever were another Pirates of the Caribbean film, I would start fresh and focus on the further adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow." Gore Verbinski concurred that "all of the stories set in motion by the first film have been resolved. Rossio said in 2007 that a fourth film was possible, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer expressed interest in a spin-off. By the end of At World's End, Sparrow is sailing to the Fountain of Youth, an early concept for the second film. The last hallucination took place while Jack was imprisoned on the Dutchman, where his honest streak won. This is mainly shown by his increasingly erratic behaviour and Jack's hallucinations, which appeared to be simply his deranged mind in the beginning where dozens of "Jack Sparrows" appeared to crew the ship in his solitary exile, but later the hallucinations grew more important and there were mainly two "Jacks" constantly arguing about which path to follow: the immortality or the mortality. Sparrow struggles with what it takes to be a moral person, after his honest streak caused his doom in the second film. Sparrow, in particular, is tinged with madness after extended solitary confinement in Davy Jones's Locker, and now desires immortality. Īt World's End was meant to return it tonally to a character piece. Sparrow is perplexed over his attraction to Elizabeth Swann, and attempts to justify it throughout the film. It's like too much dessert or too much of a good thing." Although Dead Man's Chest was written to propel the trilogy's plot, Sparrow's state-of-mind as he is pursued by Davy Jones becomes increasingly edgy, and the writers concocted the cannibal sequence to show that he was in danger whether on land or at sea. He's the spice and you need a lot of straight men . įollowing the success of The Curse of the Black Pearl, the challenge to creating a sequel was, according to Verbinski, "You don't want just the Jack Sparrow movie. This acts as part of Will Turner's arc, in which Sparrow tells him a pirate can be a good man, like his father. His true motives usually remain masked, and whether he is honorable or evil depends on the audience's perspective.
He meanders his way through, and he kind of affects everybody else." Sparrow represents an ethical pirate, with Captain Barbossa as his corrupt foil, though both characters viewed as both light and dark tricksters. He doesn't have the obligations of the plot in the same ways that the other characters have. Director Gore Verbinski admitted, "The first film was a movie, and then Jack was put into it almost. The producers saw him as a young Burt Lancaster. When writing the screenplay for The Curse of the Black Pearl, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio envisioned Captain Jack Sparrow as a supporting character in the vein of Bugs Bunny and Groucho Marx. He headlined the Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and is the subject of spin-off novels, including a children's book series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow, which chronicles his childhood years.Ĭoncept and creation Characters
#Pirates of the caribbean movie order series#
The Pirates of the Caribbean series was inspired by the Disney theme park ride of the same name, and when the ride was revamped in 2006, the character of Captain Jack Sparrow was added to it. In later adventures he searches for the Fountain of Youth and the Trident of Poseidon. Later, he attempts to escape his blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones while fighting the East India Trading Company. Sparrow is introduced seeking to regain his ship, the Black Pearl, from his mutinous first mate, Hector Barbossa. He can be treacherous and survives mostly by using wit and negotiation rather than by force, opting to flee most dangerous situations and to fight only when necessary. In the films, Sparrow is one of the nine pirate lords in the Brethren Court, the Pirate Lords of the Seven Seas. He later appears in the sequels Dead Man's Chest (2006), At World's End (2007), On Stranger Tides (2011), and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017). He first appears in the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The characterization of Sparrow is based on a combination of The Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards and Looney Tunes cartoon character Pepé Le Pew. The character was created by screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio and is portrayed by Johnny Depp. Captain Jack Sparrow is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series.
