Sun-Sentinel.com – It’s really big, really black, and really, really scary — just the kind of vessel a crew of skeletal pirates would feel right at home in. Though you may not recognize it, if you’re a dedicated filmgoer, you’ve most likely seen it – By Robert Nolin.

The Black Pearl, the pirate ship from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, is at a Dania Beach marina being spruced up after several months of sea and salt exposure. The 150-foot-long, 38-foot-wide faux galleon was built in Alabama from the wooden hull of a supply ship and is painted black from stem to stern, said lead painter Giovanni Ferrara.

“People see it and say, `What the heck is this old boat doing here?’” Ferrara said. “When they realize this is the Black Pearl, Johnny Depp’s boat, they freak out.”

Ferrara said the ship spent time last year in the Caribbean filming the sequels to the Pirates of the Caribbean. It has been in town for about a month getting re-painted before leaving on a yacht transfer ship Monday for California, for about three more weeks of filming.

MSNBC – By Jenna Bordelon. Everyone’s fave pirate will be back in July, and who knew that Johnny Depp would make such a tanned and toned summer stud? Normally, we would characterize Johnny as more of an autumn beefcake – the type who hangs out at an outdoor cafe on Paris’ Left Bank with his legs stretched out across the sidewalk, so that you practically trip over them (he then offers to buy you a cafe au lait and you forget where you were headed…)

Sawfnews.com & Hollywood.com – Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s three-week-old daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt; wore a vintage-washed gray cotton T-shirt with the words “The Pots & Pans Band” when she appeared on the cover of People magazine, causing the $42 shirt to immediately fly off store shelves.

Kingsley Aarons says he started making t-shirts for his son Zephyr when he couldn’t find anything he thought was cool enough for his kid to wear. When his friends saw the designs they told him he should start his own label. He did just that and since then there has been no looking back.

The rock’n’roll inspired designs of Kingsley have been pictured on the children of top Hollywood A-list celebrity couples including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, Seal and Heidi Klum, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Courtney Cox and David Arquette and Britney Spears and Kevin Federline.

Meet Jack Sparrow’s nemesis – by Steve Head.

**May Contain Spoilers**

IGN – To many Pirates, Davy Jones is a frightening myth. They tell stories of “those who have disturbed him” – entire crews being killed, and their ships pulled to the bottom of the sea, trapped in his locker. There have been a few survivors of these phantom encounters. (Their lives were spared to tell the tale.) They liken the experience to staring death in the face.

“I’ll tell you this,” says Bill Nighy, the actor who plays Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, “If you are so unlucky as to stand before him, then it’s true: you are staring death in the face, and he’ll kill you without question.”

There are few things that will deter Jack Sparrow if a tidy profit is involved. Without getting into spoilers here, we’ll just say, in pursuit of his next treasure, he isn’t entirely aware of the consequence involved.

“Most don’t have any idea what Davy will do because they don’t expect it,” Nighy tells IGN FilmForce. “It isn’t that he’s an entirely predatory killer. He’s not out to simply kill pirates. He’s out to kill the pirates who trespass upon his territory. Death has always surrounded him, and he spends considerable time arranging for the destruction of such adversaries. Unfortunately [Sparrow] looks where he ought not to, and stirs up trouble as such that the price he’ll pay is more than he initially considered.”

Playbill.com – It looks like Stephen Sondheim

and Hugh Wheeler’s version of the tale of Sweeney Todd is finally headed to the silver screen – By Andrew

Gans.

Variety reports that Johnny Depp will star as the vengeful barber in the film musical,

which will be directed by Tim Burton. Burton will helm the movie, which was developed by DreamWorks, for

Paramount Pictures. Screenwriter John Logan has adapted the Sondheim-Wheeler musical for the screen.

“Sweeney Todd” is being put on the fast track because another Burton project, “Ripley’s Believe It

or Not,” has been sent back into development. That film was to star Jim Carrey as the famed

explorer-reporter.

“Sweeney Todd” will mark yet another Depp-Burton collaboration. The Hollywood actor has previously

been directed by Burton in “Edward Scissorhands,” “Ed Wood,” “Sleepy Hollow,”

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and the animated film “The Corpse Bride.”

Filmfodder.com – Director Peter Weir has exited “Shantaram,” the Warner Brothers adaptation of the Gregory David Roberts novel starring and produced by Johnny Depp, according to Variety – by Shannon Nolley.

Several sources speculated that Weir and Depp were unable to reach agreement about the direction of the film.

However, a spokesman for Warner said that the conflict was not limited to Depp. “Peter moved on from this film because his interpretation of it differed greatly than that of the studio and producers,” the spokesman said.

Depp remains entrenched in the project. In addition to his role as the story’s lead character Lindsay, Depp’s company Infinitum Nihil is producing. It was apparently Depp who convinced the studio to strike the $2 million deal for the book’s film rights.

While Warner has just begun its search for a new director, the studio remains optimistic that production will start by Spring 2007.

PR Inside – The world’s foremost pirate expert has warned JOHNNY DEPP not to start digging up his Bahamas island retreat looking for HENRY MORGAN’s buried treasure because he won’t find a doubloon.

DAVID CORDINGLEY, the author of UNDER THE BLACK FLAG: THE
ROMANCE & REALITY OF LIFE AMONG THE PIRATES, has exploded the myth that islands like Depp’s Little Halls Pond Cay are where Caribbean pirates like Morgan hid the gold and silver they plundered.

“My research tells me pirates didn’t bury their treasure. I mean, what’s the point? “Your average pirate captured a ship or raided a port and then went ashore and blew all his money on wine, women and gambling.

“The whole treasure island thing is really all down to ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON and his book TREASURE ISLAND. The influence of that book is quite fantastic.

“I don’t think Johnny Depp will find buried treasure on his island.” The actor’s retreat, for which he paid a reported $3.5 million (
