Editorial Reviews: "You spent three days lying on a beach drinking rum?" "Welcome to the Caribbean, love!"   This beautifully designed narrative serves as your compass to Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy of movies, describing in detail every aspect of the movie-making process, from casting to costumes to computer graphics, from curses to cutlasses to corsets.      Author Michael Singer takes readers on an extraordinary journey, recounting the links in the Pirates of the Caribbean chain-from the last Disneyland attraction in which Walt Disney was personally involved, to a film project spearheaded by one of the world's most successful producers, Jerry Bruckheimer, and a vividly imaginative director named Gore Verbinski.       A veritable treasure chest of exclusive photos and insider information, the book includes information on the production, makeup, location filming, shipbuilding, stunts, and special effects, as well as a scrapbook of Jerry Bruckheimer's on-set photographs. Also included are profiles on the films' incredible stars: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush, Bill Nighy, Stellan Skarsgard, and more!
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Loved It! Comment: I loved the movies, so when I saw this on the shelf I had to have it. Other reviewers have already explained in detail what a great book this is for the POTC enthusiast, so I'll just say that I greatly appreciate having this book and looking through it from time to time. Worth the money! Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome book!!!! Comment: This is a really informative book about what went into the making of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It's very interesting, and it has bios of the characters and many pictures taken on set. I highly recommend this book! Customer Rating: Summary: really fun coffee table book Comment: I saw this at Disneyland, but thought $[...] was a little steep -- thank you Amazon for bringing it in at $[...]! If you liked the "Pirates" movies, this offers some great background info on how they filmed these rollicking good time movies. You'll find behind the scenes photos, lots of glossy pictures of gorgeous sets, locations and people. Interviews with the actors, producer, director, and others involved in the crew....kind of like an extension of the bonus features on the DVD's. A little weak on info for the final movie "Worlds End" (I suspect the book came out either just before or just after it's release. ) But still lots of fun stuff. My 7 year old sons likes viewing it with me. Customer Rating: Summary: Great and informative book! Comment: I love reading this book because I love Pirates of the Caribbean and I love finding out how they filmed it and everything. I'm a big movie buff, so I find learning about how they created a scene and what the actors had to do to prepare for it very fascinating. It's got great pictures of all sizes, detailed explanations of each movie, and explanations of each one of the principle characters. Its a wonderful book and I recommend it for anyone who likes the Pirates movies and/or likes to learn about the behind-the-scenes stuff. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful book! Love it! Comment: This book is a must have for Pirates fans. The photos and illustrations are just beautiful, and the information within its pages is so interesting and educational as to how the movies were made! I am by no means a book expert, I just buy what I like, and I am a diehard Pirates fan, so I recommend this book highly. I had to chuckle at one of the other reviews that mildly rebuked the author for not examining the movie trilogy more closely... well, many of us in Pirates fandom have had way too much of that stuff... overanalysis of the plots, the characters, etc. Just leave me happily entertained, and leave the examining to the film critics, who I ignore, anyway! ;) Once again, a visually beautiful book, worth the price for it's artwork and photography, alone.
