Moviesonline – Genius Products will be releasing director Laurence Dunmore’s gripping and powerful drama “The Libertine”, which stars Johnny Depp onto DVD June 27th.

Adapted by Stephen Jeffreys from his own play, this is based on the true story of John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester, who was a poet, courtier and notorious rake. Johnny Depp stars in “The Libertine” as the scandalously decadent John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester.

The film follows the Earl’s adventures in London, from his passionate romance with a young actress, Elizabeth Barry (Samantha Morton), to the writing of a scurrilous play which blisteringly and bawdily lampoons the very monarch who commissioned it, Charles II (John Malkovich), leading to the Earl’s banishment and eventual downfall.

Disney’s MMORPG based on Pirates films won’t be released alongside Dead Man’s Chest, will appear at E3 – By Tim Surette — GameSpot.

Pirates of the Caribbean Online
Platform: PC
Publisher: Disney Online

It appears as though gamers can stash that eye patch–for now. Disney Online’s upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Pirates of the Caribbean Online, won’t be walking the plank to retail waters in 2006. According to the game’s Web site and a statement from Disney, the MMORPG will now plunder stores in 2007.

In the game, players interact with characters from the films as they strive to become the Caribbean’s most infamous pirate. Disney is sailing into uncharted waters, claiming that Pirates of the Caribbean Online will be the first MMOG “designed for kids and families.” No matter who is playing, they’ll have to have a steady income as Pirates will be charging a monthly fee.

In terms of movie-going, there are many things to be thankful for and high on my list is the existence of Johnny Depp: a gorgeous dude with precise, chiseled features who, despite the mainstream looks, has consistently chosen leftfield roles — from the freakish (“Edward Scissorhands”) to the lop-sided (“Ed Wood”) to the difficult/nuanced (“Dead Man”) to the downright campy (“Pirates of the Caribbean”)- By KAORI SHOJI.

These roles have defined his career and he’s matured into an actor who with a single glance or a flexing of his fingers, can change the entire ambience of the screen into something that is at once, more textured, meaningful, infinitely suggestive. To watch a Johnny Depp film is to understand his character (and, by implication, the story) more profoundly. It’s to experience an impact on the senses that few of his contemporaries can deliver.

And now “The Libertine” shows him at his most snarky and audacious; the film opens with a monologue in which he ensnares the camera with a shifty gaze to assure us: “You will not like me.”

Depp is John Willmot, second earl of Rochester, a brilliant but despicable rogue who drank and generally debauched himself to death at the age of 33 and in the process managed to offend most of the aristocracy of London during the Restoration. The earl had been a gallant soldier during his youth and helped King Charles II reclaim the throne from Oliver Cromwell,

by Greg Joachim – wvu.edu – It seems that Johnny Depp will take on any challenging role under the sun. In between turns as Captain Jack Sparrow, he’s portrayed polar opposites in Willy Wonka and now John Wilmont, the second Earl of Rochester, in “The Libertine.”

Wilmont certainly isn’t out to make any fans. He insults his friends, squanders or misuses his talent and makes a laughing stock of the king at the presentation of what should have been the crowning artistic jewel of his reign. As illness starts to take its toll on his mind and body, however, Wilmont does his best to restore his legacy and make it one worth remembering.

“The Libertine” is a film as difficult to judge as it is to define. Though the Earl’s story is largely one of tragedy, the narrative has difficulty settling on one particular tone.

“The Libertine” does have one saving grace, however, and his name is Johnny Depp. However minuscule the entertainment value of the film, Depp improves it tenfold with an expectedly terrific performance. As Wilmont falls into a disease-ridden delirium, Depp portrays him with just the amount of virtue the part needs to ring true. It’s a good performance by his own standards, made even better by the wreck that surrounds it.

However, as good as his performance may be, it adds little overall value to a production mired in mediocrity.

latimes.com – By John Horn and Lorenza Munoz, Times Staff Writers – Disney is focusing much of its movie slate on audiences not old enough to drive. Disney will release “Cars,” the new movie from Pixar and “Toy Story” director John Lasseter, on June 9. As it did on the first “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, the studio will put its Disney logo – not that of its grown-up movie label, Touchstone – on its July “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” sequel.

“The audience is there and it’s stronger than ever,” Disney studio chief Dick Cook says of the drive to focus his slate on Disney-labeled family films.

“It’s what we live on, it’s our bread and butter. But we have started to reemphasize the brand in a major way.”

Digital Spy – The Pirates Of The Caribbean stars have become mates thanks to spending so much time together on location, says Mackenzie Crook – by Dave West.

Two sequels to the movie are being filmed in one go, so actors including Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley have been together on a Caribbean island for quite a while.

“It’s been an incredible and intense period of work,” Office star Crook told The Sun. “It took so much longer than anyone could’ve expected.”

“We had no choice but to become good mates. When we’re on location we’re all living in each other’s pockets,” said the actor, who plays Raggetti in the films. “But we got to spend pretty much a year on a Caribbean island shooting them, so we’ve had an amazing time.”

He told fans to expect more of his well-loved pirate antics, saying: “I’m still the same old Raggeti that you know and love. I don’t run away with the heroine or anything, there’s no romance for me.”

“But there’s lots more eyeball gags,” he added. “I’ve even got my own action figure now, it’s what I’ve been working towards. I can die a happy man.”
