'Pirates Of The Caribbean' 5: actors Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush and other newbies join the cast, filming begins mid-February
Tanned, savvy, rum-drinking Captain Jack Sparrow will be back, as shooting is set to begin on the fifth movie of the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" series sometime this week. According to Screenrant, the five-moth long shoot will take place in Queensland in Australia, as the country provided a handsome incentive to the production team. While actor Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom will reprise their roles as Jack Sparrow, Captain Barbosa and Will Turner, new actors have been signed up for the upcoming movie.
Newcomers Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario have been cast as the film's young leads, while Oscar-winner Javier Bardem has been signed up to play the villain. Actors Adam Brown, Delroy Atkinson and Danny Kirrane have also joined the cast, although what their roles are remains a mystery.
What is known is that "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales" will pick-up right where it left off. The last movie of the series saw Will Turner, played by Orlando Bloom, being cursed to live out his days at Davy Jones. The plot will center on Will Turner and his son. The Christian Post reports that the plot is about a young man who wants to reconnect with his father, Davy Jones. Since Will is cursed, the film may show how he goes around the curse and tries to fix it and save his father. Actor Brenton Thwaites is touted to be playing Will Turner's son, although, JBG News reports that the actor will be playing a British soldier named Henry.
The film is scheduled to release on the big screen on July 7, 2017. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series have been a box-office success and follows the life and adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow. Previous films of the franchise include "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides".
