The other day we let rip (that doesn’t sound too classy, alas…) with some behind-the-scenes footage from “Pirates of the Caribbean : The Teats are Now Sore On Stranger Tides”, now Disney have premiered the first official photos from the film over at USA Today – without the annoying sell-out narrator pointing out what we’re looking at.
“Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides” is directed by Rob Marshall (“Chicago”) and stars Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Penelope Cruz (as Blackbeard’s desirable daughter), Ian McShane (Blackbeard) and Richard Griffiths (King George II).
The aforesaid paper also has the following synopsis :
On a blustery gray morning in the Painted Hall of the Old Royal Naval College, Johnny Depp’s seafarer is being dragged forward by guards for an audience with King George II (Richard Griffiths), who wants him to seek the Fountain of Youth.
The king has already recruited Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) to join the mission, meaning Sparrow’s old nemesis has gone corporate, 1750s-century style.
The proposal goes badly, as expected.
Along the road to the Fountain of Youth, Sparrow will meet a friendly mermaid (Astrid Berges-Frisbey) and be tempted by a wicked former flame (Penelope Cruz) and her sadistic father, Blackbeard (Ian McShane) — but there will be no Will and Elizabeth (Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley).
The first trailer for the film will be online next week.
