Pirates of the Caribbean #4
The fourth installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will NOT be filmed in the Caribbean but instead in Hawaii starting this summer! I wonder if it should be changed to "Pirates of the Pacific" then? It's kinda of sad (even though filming wasn't here in Saint Thomas but Saint Vincent and Dominica) it was still the Caribbean waters. I am sure they shot in other places too but Hawaii? hmmmmm
The film's story is loosely based on the 1987 pirate novel, "On Stranger Tides" by award-winning fantasy author Tim Powers. The book tells the story of a young man -- coincidentally named "Jack" -- who is captured by the pirate Blackbeard and forced to join in the search for the Fountain of Youth. Co-stars Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are not expected to return.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is scheduled to be in movie theaters on May 20th, 2011. We will, of course, go see it, but knowing it's filmed in Hawaii will take something away from it for sure.
