Gore on Pirates 2&3

I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to make 2 movie sequels at the same time (well, I’ve wondered what it’d be like to make a movie period, but I digress…) , so when director Gore Verbinski sat down and talked with iF Magazine about his experience on the upcoming PIRATES OF THE CARIBEAN sequels , you know I was there and interested!


And this is what I’ve learned: Making 2 movies back to back is a bad idea! Check it out:


“I’m a quarter of the way through the third one and three quarters of the way through the second one. It’s madness. We’re shooting scenes in the third movie without even knowing what the hell we’re doing. We actually have a pretty good second script and the third script is still on the operating table. And we’re in triage constantly, everyday. I don’t recommend making two movies at once. I think that we’re going to get there, but it’s just madness. I think that the second movie is strong and clever and has a lot going on. The third movie we’re still working on”.>


Oh boy… you know, I really really really liked PIRATES, but what he just said right there does not make me want to check parts 2 or 3 out… Even with Johnny Depp rockin’ it in one of his coolest roles, I just can’t see this being a success. Oh well. Time will only tell with this beast. To check out the rest of the interview, go ahead and click HERE.
