Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, with a monkey hanging over his shoulder, superimposed in front of a blue background
The Big Picture Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl may be one of the greatest action-adventure movies of the 21st century. Based on the beloved Disney theme park attraction and released in 2003, deeply underwhelming sequels aside, there was nothing like it. It was a classic adventure story with a modern spin, iconic characters, and star-solidifying performances from the entire cast.
Release Date July 9, 2003 Director Gore Verbinski Cast Johnny Depp , Geoffrey Rush , Orlando Bloom , Keira Knightley , Jack Davenport , Jonathan Pryce Runtime 143 minutes Main Genre Adventure Writers Ted Elliott , Terry Rossio , Stuart Beattie , Jay Wolpert Tagline Prepare to be blown out of the water Website http://pirates.movies.
Another elephant in the room was Depp's performance choices as Captain Jack Sparrow. The original concept was a relatively stock-standard cool pirate character, with Hugh Jackman originally being floated for the role. Depp would be the one to turn Errol Flynn into Keith Richards, believing that since pirates were sort of the rock stars of their day, giving the role more of a psychedelic edge would make it read to modern audiences.
Keira Knightley Was Marooned on a Reef While Shooting the First 'Pirates of the Caribbean' When they actually got to shooting The Curse of the Black Pearl, however, the ocean was the harshest mistress. The locals of the islands knew that night shoots on the reef were a bad idea, and they were proven right when Keira Knightley and her mother got stuck on a reef, being marooned for nearly an hour before being rescued.
