ComingSoon.com – Orlando Bloom talks to Entertainment Weekly for the 2006 preview, about Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest the much-anticipated sequel.
***Contains Spoilers***
Orlando Bloom: “There’s a huge sword sequence, which, if it isn’t the sword sequence that puts all sword sequences to bed, then I can’t imagine what anyone could ever pull out of the ether to top it,” he declares. It’s a clash among three characters – including his Will Turner and Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow – “on a big water-mill wheel as it rolls down a hill. And we fight on top of it, and around it, and inside it. It’s crazy.”
The website, Decanter.com has printed an interview Johnny Depp with author Oliver Styles ofMadame Figaro magazine. Naming Chateau Calon-Segur, a Saint-Estephe third-growth his favorite wine he said, “It’s a marvellous wine that you can drink every day and it’s also very affordable.”
Depp however, has developed a taste for the finer, more expensive wines. “I like Petrus [and] Chateau Cheval-Blanc,” he said. For a burgundy selection he chose checked Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. Enthusing over his selection he said, “with those wines, you reach nirvana.”
I installed a new guestbook script which hopefully will preserve the
guestbook of all those spam messages it got. Over 20 the day at the end
which took me 15 minutes the day to delete.

Here’s the petition message:
To: Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company
This petition is in regard to the erratic and unprofessional United States release of The Libertine.
By signing this petition, Johnny Depp fans worldwide are requesting that The Weinstein Company stop advertising dates of release and then pulling them. We are disgusted, disappointed and angry at the way this movie has been handled. You have insulted Johnny Depp and his fellow crew members that worked so hard in making this film.
We feel your business decisions used in the management of The Libertine, not unlike your other distributions of previous Johnny Depp films; show an appalling lack of respect for him and his exemplary talent.
Please do your duty as a movie distributor, fulfill your obligations to us and all concerned and release the Libertine in the United States NOW.
Sincerely,
Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of Pirates of the Caribbean recently gave Edward Douglas of Comingsoon.net a short update on how filming was going on the POTC sequels. Here’s what Bruckheimer had to say: “We started filming yesterday in the Carribean, we’re in the Bahamas. We’re finishing 2 and then doing 3. I think we have about five or six more days left on ‘Pirates 2,’ and then we’re done with it. We’ll break in March and edit 2, and then go back at the end of the summer and finish 3.”
