Photos Released Of New ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Movie

Just a day before the Oscar nominations, when everyone has movies on their mind, photos have been released of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” by Disney.

The movie sails into theatres May 20^th, 2011 in Disney Digital 3D™.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™.

Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penelope “Mrs. Javier Bardem” Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth.

When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past.

The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Berges-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.
