Pirates battle Potter at Baftas
All Headline News – London, England (AHN) – “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” has been nominated by the Children’s British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards in the Feature Film Category.

Skull and crossbones emerges as year-round motif
Topix.net – By Nicole Maestri.
The image of a human skull over two bones crossed together, once the purview of punk rockers and Goth lovers, has gone mainstream. Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” with Johnny Depp’s swaggering portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, hit theaters in 2003, renewing an interest in pirates, and their skull and crossbones symbol.
But the trend took off afresh this year as the sequel, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” sizzled at the box office, racking up more than $1 billion in ticket sales worldwide.
“The whole thing about using a skull and crossbones is it immediately sends out the bad-boy signal,” said Hal Rubenstein, fashion director of In Style magazine. “There’s a certain amount of fun in being bad.”
Saks Inc. is selling a $264 pair of Rock & Republic skinny jeans with skulls embroidered on their back pockets, while Barneys New York has a $220 silk skull-print scarf.
Disney itself has seen strong demand for its “Pirates” gear, which ranges from cotton pajamas for youngsters to elaborate rings sold at upscale retailer Fred Segal.
Offering high-end pieces gives the merchandise a certain cachet, said Donna Sheridan, vice president of Disney apparel. Mid-tier and mass merchants then typically mimic the trend and offer similar products in their stores.
“What’s great about this trend is that it’s at every single level, and it has a reach across all consumers,” she said.
The skull and crossbones fashion statement could stay afloat well into next year, when “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” hits theaters in May and has the cast venturing to the Far East.
“I think the twist on this is going to be an Asian influence,” Disney’s Sheridan said. “And then gold is a big trend for next year. Gold in jewelry — that is where we will place our emphasis.”
‘Pirates’ ship at Disney’s private isle
Baltimor Sun.com – Disney Cruise Line offers Mouseketeers of all ages a live look-see at the Flying Dutchman, the ship made famous in Disney’s latest flick Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, on the line’s private Caribbean island, Castaway Cay.
The film prop, with its barnacle-encrusted bow, flaunts ragged sails and imparts a bona fide look of haunting the open seas for eternity. The actual prop is anchored off Castaway Cay. It provides a scenic photo backdrop for Disney’s passengers. If you opt to rent a boat during your Castaway Cay stay, you can get an up-close look at the ghost ship.
In the film, the 175-foot ghost ship is commanded by the legendary Davy Jones, who serves as nemesis to pirate Capt. Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp.

Fan encounter at Guadalupe Dunes
Carol Darlin’ met, together with her daughter and her daughter’s best friend, Johnny Depp at the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 – camp at Guadalupe Dunes October 19th, 2006.
Here are some excerpts of her story, which you can read fully here in our articles section
“(…) And then, there he was. Johnny Depp was standing four feet in front of us, smiling, looking beautiful, wearing his old leather jacket and a black beanie, with his pirate beards and some eyeliner still on. What a thrill!
My daughter’s friend was crying uncontrollably, and my daughter had a look of pure disbelief on her face. When we got our turn, Johnny took so much time with each of the girls, asking them their names and how to spell them, and wrote them each a nice long sentence and autograph. Then, he gave them each a big bear hug. We took a picture with the two girls together with him. I asked him if Mom could have a hug, too. He said, of course, and I got a great big hug from Johnny Depp. He is very affectionate and a great hugger. Gawsh! (…)”
Carol also took some great pics from Johnny, which you can all see here in the galleries/appearances section – here a preview, he looks gorgeus!!!
Pirates III Camp Guadalupe Dunes, by Carol Darlin’
This is the story of Carol Darlin’ meeting Johnny at the Pirates III camp at Guadalupe Dunes October 19th, 2006.
“(…)I wanted to share with you an encounter my daughter, her best friend and I had with Johnny Depp at Guadalupe Dunes last Thursday night! We drove four hours from our home after seeing pictures that DB had posted of the base camp. Even though we knew it was a risk of being disappointed.
Anyway, we arrived about 4:30. There were about four cars with some moms and kids there, and a pirate bus with some pirate type people. Maybe about 15 people in all. No one really knew anything. So, we just waited. After a while, the busses and vans started to leave the base camp. There were two really nice security guards, who weren’t allowed to tell us anything, but after a while, it was clear that Johnny was indeed there. (By the way, earlier, a KEYT 3 new guy came and talked to the kids. They are actually on the news video that someone posted earlier on the Zone.)
Just before dark, a bus suddenly stopped and out jumped Mr. Gibbs, Pintel and Regatti and the Little Person, enthusiastically smiling and all the kids got their autographs. Mr. Gibbs said “Keep to the Code,” and Pintel said, “Ello Poppet” for the kids.
The guards told us that Johnny, depending on how tired he is, may just roll down the window and wave, which would have been just great. So, we had our cameras ready. Finally, a black SUV came to the entrance and stopped at the highway patrol car for a moment, then rolled forward towards us.
When we saw it stop in front of us and the doors opened, we could barely contain ourselves. But, we stayed quiet and waited. And then, there he was. Johnny Depp was standing four feet in front of us, smiling, looking beautiful, wearing his old leather jacket and a black beanie, with his pirate beards and some eyeliner still on. What a thrill!
My daughter’s friend was crying uncontrollably, and my daughter had a look of pure disbelief on her face. When we got our turn, Johnny took so much time with each of the girls, asking them their names and how to spell them, and wrote them each a nice long sentence and autograph. Then, he gave them each a big bear hug. We took a picture with the two girls together with him. I asked him if Mom could have a hug, too. He said, of course, and I got a great big hug from Johnny Depp. He is very affectionate and a great hugger. Gawsh!
When he went to hug the crying girl again, I said, jokingly, “You have to hug the other one again, too, or they’ll fight all the way home.” He laughed and hugged the other one, too. And for the twenty minutes that followed,
