DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES…until now, that is. After appearing in one of the most popular E-Ticket attractions at the Disney theme parks for almost forty years, and starring in a blockbuster hit film (with the promise of more to come), the wildest crew that ever sacked the Spanish Main is ready for its own unique tell-all tome.
Along the journey, readers will learn how the attraction made the voyage to all four corners of the world--with rare early concept sketches, never-before-published original story concepts, and spectacular development artwork--and will take a virtual tour through the attraction showcasing variations and enhancements at each Disney theme park. Never before has The Walt Disney Company revealed so much history, debunked so much mystery, and told the true "below-the-seas" tale of the swashbuckling scalawags.
With such rich source material and a permanent place in pop culture, Pirates of the Caribbean was a natural for the big screen. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, directed by Gore Verbinski, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and starring Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Academy Award-nominated Johnny Depp as the irrepressible Captain Jack Sparrow, was one of the top-grossing movies of 2003. Get an insider's view of the motion picture that launched a franchise, including: an exclusive look at the earliest story concepts; a front row seat at location shoots in the Caribbean and on Disney Studio soundstages; cast and crew recollections; and the birth of the cursed buccaneers inside a computer at Industrial Light & Magic.
If it's a pirate's life for you, then it's "Yo-ho-ho" for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: FROM THE MAGIC KINGDOM TO THE MOVIES.
