Pirates of the Caribbean

The 4th movie in this franchise has been topping the box office for the past few weeks. Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush are back, but
Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are not. Penélope Cruz take a major role as Jack Sparrow’s love interest.

We saw the film, but were not impressed. The other films were amusing, this one was boring, the story did not flow and we were literally waiting for it to end.  Clearly audiences are still flocking to the franchise and we read that Disney already has a script for movie number 5.

Here are the scripts that we have found for the franchise.

  1. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Script (2003)
  2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest Script (2006)
  3. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End Script (2007)
  4. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)   – Let me know if you can find it !!!
