May 25 the premiere of the long-awaited film "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead men do not tell tales".
What surprises did the fifth part of the famous movie show prepare us? And what happened to the actors during the filming? We disclose the main secrets of the premiere (without spoilers).
1. Filming took place in Australia, in Queensland.
The long-suffering film crew, which has become accustomed to all sorts of natural disasters, did not escape them this time. Thus, during the filming over the coast of Queensleda a powerful cyclone, Marcia, swept through, which brought the strongest precipitation. And one day because of a series of natural phenomena, the actors had to get to the island, where they were supposed to be shooting, swimming.
2. For the filming was created a grandiose decoration, imitating the city of Saint-Martin.
It occupied 5 acres of land in the small town of Modland. Almost all the houses had only facades, but the tavern of Grimza and the navigation house of Swift were completely built.
3. We again meet with the characters of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom.
Previously, Knightley said that she would no longer act in the sequel to the "Pirates", but she was persuaded.
As for Bloom, the last time we saw his character Will Turner exactly 10 years ago in the third part of the franchise - "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." Then Will received a fatal wound in his heart and became captain of the ghost ship "The Flying Dutchman." According to the curse, now he can go ashore once in a decade. And exactly 10 years later Orlando Bloom and his hero will appear again on the screen!
4. Penelope Cruz will not be in the new part of the franchise.
Last time we saw her heroine Angelica in the fourth part of the franchise: "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides". Jack Sparrow's beloved appeared in the very last scene, already after the credits, holding a voodoo doll in his hands and mysteriously smiling, apparently, was plotting something. Unfortunately, in this part of the saga the intrigue will not be revealed, and Angelica's plan will remain unknown.
5. Penelope Cruz "handed over the baton" to her husband Javier Bardem, who made his debut as the nightmarish Captain Salazar, the sworn enemy of Jack Sparrow.
One of the film directors said:
"We asked him (Javier) to star in the film, and the first thing he did was ask his wife if she liked being removed from us. She replied: "It was wonderful, you must agree." She gave her blessing, and we got it for the film! If she answered that she did not like to act, he would have refused "
6. In the center of events will be new characters.
This is the grown-up son of Will Turner Henry (his role was played by Australian Brenton Twates) and his companion Karina Smith (Kaya Skodelario). Henry and Karina together will go in search of a trident of Poseidon. Henry is sure that this magic object will help to free his father.
By the way, actor Brenton Twates since childhood is a fan of the movie about pirates of the Caribbean, so he could not believe his happiness when he was approved for the role.
25-year-old British Kaya Skodelario, who played the role of Karina, also remained very pleased with the shooting:
"Every day was a lesson in acting. It's like getting into the best theater school, moreover, and located on the beach! "
Kaya added that she was very comfortable working in tandem with Brenton Twates, with whom she had a trusting relationship.
7. There will be another new character in the film.
This is a mysterious sea sorceress named Shansa, whose role was played by the Iranian actress Golshifte Farahani. Over her costume 42 people worked, working 15 hours a day for a week.
8. In the fifth part of the movie, you will see the legendary Paul McCartney, but do not recognize him!
Johnny Depp personally corresponded with the musician, persuading him to take part in the shootings. As a result, McCartney agreed to the episodic role of the pirate, but he was made up so that Sir Paul is simply impossible to find out!
9. On the set of the film, Johnny Depp broke his arm.
But it was not as a result of performing a dangerous stunt, as one might think, but because of the quarrel between Depp and his then wife, Amber Hurd. During a telephone conversation with his wife, the heated actor hit his hand against the wall. The injury was so serious that the directors had to send the temperamental Johnny to treatment in America, and the shooting was postponed, which affected the film's budget.
10. The actors who starred in all 5 parts of the franchise, only three.
These are Johnny Depp, Kevin McNally and Jeffrey Rush.
11. The make-up team created more than 1000 wigs for the film.
Sometimes stylists had to comb more than 700 people a day.
12. Every day Javier Bardem spent more than two hours on applying a complex make-up, and at Golshift Farahani took "beauty" more than 4 hours a day!
13. An important role in the film is given to the diary of Karina Smith.
It was created 88 versions of it, and only one of them pleased the filmmakers. To visually age the diary pages, they were dipped in coffee.
