Like the blockbuster Spider-Man and Shrek series, Pirates of the Caribbean series has entered the era of unlimited sequel shooting.
Pirate 4 is on the road?
Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World can't end Captain Jack's adventure, and he is bound to set sail again. The latest movie Pirates, released by Disney Company, has made unprecedented achievements in the box office war. Since the memorial day weekend, the global box office of "The End of the World" has reached $4 billion/kloc-0 billion. With such impressive achievements, the question of whether to continue filming Pirate 4 seems to have a definite answer-strike while the iron is hot and make persistent efforts, and no one wants to let go of the fat in his mouth easily.
If the hypothesis of filming Pirate 4 is established, will Johnny Depp still be the leading role this time? This guy never promised to make another Pirates of the Caribbean, but he obviously fell in love with the brave, rebellious and somewhat rude character Jack Sparrow. Depp said in an interview: "As long as there are reasonable reasons, you can do this. Why not? "
In today's Hollywood, a blockbuster movie series is like an independent enterprise. Once put into operation, it is difficult to stop, so it is natural to shoot sequels again and again. The Pirates series is a rare masterpiece. If we don't continue to make a sequel, it will be the biggest strange thing in the world.
Dick cook, chairman of Disney Film Studio, once said: "Pirate films have become an integral part of world culture. They have the ability to survive on their own and will not choose to leave early." Cook said that if there is a good script, the production team is willing to go out again, and he intends to shoot another Pirate.
Carry the sequel through to the end
Hollywood has entered the era of unlimited sequel shooting. Anne gruber, head of the marketing department of DreamWorks, said that DreamWorks Animation SKG started planning Shrek 4 years ago 1, and Shrek 3 is still a long time away from completion. Shrek 4 will meet the audience on 20 10.
Spider-Man 3 just premiered on May 4th, but the fourth part of the series entered the preparatory track as early as 1 month ago. Amy Pascal, chairman of Sony Pictures, said: "If the audience wants us to extend Spider-Man's life, we should first treat it as an independent film, not simply a question of which film it is. Spider-Man can't compare with James Bond. "
One of the reasons why the high-power machines of the series of movies can keep running is that the scenes of special effects are getting bigger and bigger, and the production cost is getting higher and higher-the total production cost of One Piece, Shrek and Spider-Man released in May exceeds $65.438 billion-and it needs careful planning.
In addition, film companies also need a long product delivery cycle to establish their own marketing alliances. Disney cooperates with 13 business partners who are responsible for publicity. These alliances have made great contributions to the creation of Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World, including Volvo, Verizon Communications, Coca-Cola, Circuit City, Best Buy, Toys R Us and Starwood Hotel. Interestingly, even the poor Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company in Tampa signed up to join Disney's "Pirate" camp. Recently, this company has become the focus of media attention because it salvaged 17 tons of treasure from a shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean.
Do what you can.
Even so, due to the huge scale of big budget movies in summer, many filmmakers have long been physically and mentally exhausted. Blake Harmo, the producer of Pirates of the Caribbean, said that "The Coffin of the Soul" and "The End of the World" were filmed almost at the same time after Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, and they should give the producers a buffer time.
The end of the world premiered in Tokyo last week. In an interview at the premiere, he said, "It took us five and a half years to shoot this trilogy, and the latest one is simply a monster. If you want to make a sequel, you must have excellent scripts, interesting plots, themes and characters. The possibility of continuous shooting exists, and we will wait and see. "
Although Blake Hammer and Disney management said that The Pirate Trilogy was over, they also hinted at the possibility of making a sequel or prequel. In an interview with an Australian film website, screenwriter terry rossio said that he and his partner Ted Elliot would write another "Pirates" script to see if they could write something interesting and worthy of being put on the screen.
Pirates defeated Spider-Man.
Large-scale series films have the ability of self-survival, and show a diversified development trend, extending to TV, stage and theme parks. At present, DreamWorks Animation Company is packaging Shrek Hall, a special online version of Shrek, which is expected to meet netizens in the summer vacation. In addition, the green monster from the swamp will also land on the Broadway stage and present a musical for the audience in 2008.
The film sequel can not only benefit the film company, but also benefit the whole entertainment circle. It is precisely because of the amazing performance of the sequels that Hollywood's North American box office (the United States and Canada) was able to break through the $4 billion mark in the summer of 2007, which is the first time in history, thanks to the high-profile release of three sequels in May.
According to the figures provided by the box office tracker "Media Digital", Spider-Man 3 released in early May broke the opening weekend box office record with the domestic box office of 1.5 1 billion dollars. "The End of the World" set a new box office record for Memorial Day weekend in the United States with $654.38+$42 million. Shrek 3 became the highest-grossing cartoon in history with its opening box office of $654.38+$22 million, and also set a record for the opening box office of cartoons in North America over the years.
Disney said that in terms of global box office results, their Pirate 3 has surpassed the box office record of $382 million created by Spider-Man 3 in 27 days. Sony executives privately questioned Disney's decision to include 2 1 overseas box office and the pre-screening box office on the evening of 24th in the total box office.
The audience has different opinions.
In the process of creating such amazing box office results, the film company overcame the concern that the audience might have aesthetic fatigue in the sequel. As we all know, "Batman" and "Superman" made a high-profile comeback, but their performances in the box office war were not optimistic or even failed.
By investing a lot of money in the propaganda war, Hollywood tries to convince potential audiences that Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 are by no means dog tails. Although the film critics came out to muddy the waters, devout fans flocked into the cinema and watched all three sequels.
In Southern California, the audience was interviewed after watching "The End of the World" for nearly three hours, and expressed their opinions on the future of "Pirate 4". Elizabeth Lopez, a 24-year-old from Long Beach, once suspected that Pirate 3 might be as disappointing as the third installment of many other series. She said, "But actually, it's really wonderful. I hope they make another film, because the way the film ends is unforgettable. "
But Richard Kirk, 69, from Raul, Bellevue, is not interested in the pirate series. He said: "Its plot is getting more and more complicated, especially at the beginning. I think they should stop here. "

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 set sail again?
Although Pirates of the Caribbean: At the End of the World has once again been reviled by countless film critics, and although the box office of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is not as good as many people expected, Disney will not easily let this blockbuster action adventure series end. For gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is not a possibility, but a necessity.
Moviesoon.com discussed the possibility of making Pirates of the Caribbean 4 with you before. Recently, CinemaBlend.com learned more inside information about the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 through insiders!
1. The biggest selling point of Pirates of the Caribbean-Johnny Depp, who plays Captain Jack, will return to the Jianghu and gain a lot-35 million to 40 million dollars!
2. geoffrey rush, who plays Captain hector barbossa, and director Gregor Verbinski are also expected to return to Pirates of the Caribbean 4.
Now you can forget about keira knightley and Orlando Bloom. Because they will never appear in Pirates of the Caribbean again. Subsequent sequels will be entirely centered on Captain Jack.
At the end of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Captain Barbossa mentioned that they were going to look for the fountain of youth. And this is not the only story clue of the sequel. The fountain of youth will introduce the story of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 in another form as the opening.
The architecture of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 will be completely different from the previous three films. This means that Jerry Bruckheimer is ready to bring the next trilogy of Pirates of the Caribbean into the field of science fiction.
6. In order to present a different sequel, they thought a lot of "jules verne" style ideas for Pirates of the Caribbean 4, including a huge flying machine, a man who not only tried to control the whole ocean, a war with the most famous and dangerous pirates, and a trip to the lost world (guess where? ), Captain Jack and his strange sailors will go where no pirates have ever been. (Of course not flying into space! Disney made an animated film about this place before, and Michael J. Fox also voiced it. Yes, it is Atlantis: the lost empire! )
7. Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is expected to start shooting sometime between 2009 and 20 1 1.
Captain Jack discovered Atlantis? That sounds interesting. But I am glad that Disney has given fans enough time to relieve their visual fatigue.
Now we just need a name for this sequel. Personally, I prefer this title: Pirates of the Caribbean 4: My brother is ten years older than me! Fans who have seen Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and the last additional clips should know the origin of this title.
