Insider news!!!
Pirates has already begun. Johnny was at Disney studios a week ago before returning to Venice to begin preparations on Pirates. The cast has been completed and only hiring some more extras remain. But the sets are already being built, Johnny’s new sword has been made and his new costume is almost completed!! Johnny’s costume will have at least three new pieces and or changes included and he insists on using his old boots that he shot in and already owns..(of course they will have extra).
The shooting will begin promptly after the Tourist reshoots are finished this next week (and Cannes maybe). We do not have an exact date on Johnny’s first day of shooting but the shooting schedule right now looks as if they will go from LA to Hawaii first and then to the UK. The whole shoot is scheduled to only last two months since the financial cutbacks only allow for half the time.
