Disney made a killing with the first
Pirates of the Caribbean film so greenlighting a second
Pirates film - and a third, which was filmed simultaneously with #2 - was a real no-brainer. With Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley all game for more adventures on the high seas, and director Gore Verbinski back helming the ship, Disney's dreams of amassing treasure chests full of box office gold again are all but guaranteed.
Depp returns as Captain Jack Sparrow, a rock star-ish, ladies man/pirate who in this second film of the series must make good on a debt to the legendary Davey Jones or else be doomed to eternal damnation. Captain Jack can't do it alone so he interrupts the wedding plans of Elizabeth Swann (Knightley) and Will Turner (Bloom) in order to drag them along on another wild adventure.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest sets sail on July 7, 2006.
