Pirates Of The Carribean:On Stranger Tides Trailer: Wait, There's A Guy On Our Team Who Dresses Like A Pirate?

Dustin’s a timely son of a bitch, man. Yesterday he posted a piece on Johnny Depp’s biggest box office hits, and today we have the new trailer for what will likely become the next entry on that list, which will have Rob Marshall taking over from Gore Verbinski for director. Check it out:

While there are a couple of returners (Geoffrey Rush), as I said before, I’m happiest about who’s not returning — Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley, two characters who were mildly interesting and then just went down the crapper in the later films. Of course, the second and third film were increasingly awful, so perhaps its not their fault that they were so lame.

No, wait. It is.

Anyway, the new entries include Al Swearengen Ian McShane as Blackbeard, and Penelope Cruz as his daughter. I have an inexplicable hatred for Penelope Cruz, so that’s a wash, but McShane is excellent news. Also? Dame Judi Dench, who makes all things better.

Anyway, the clip above is fun, and Depp looks like he’s enjoying himself, and it’s not filled with overwhelming, excessive special effects — basically, everything that worked in the first film (which really is quite solid). That’s what I’m hoping for, anyway.

I have loved Ian McShane since "Lovejoy" days. He just gets better with age. Seems unfair...

I have an inexplicable hatred for Penelope Cruz

I thought I was the only one! I can pinpoint the exact moment I started REALLY hating her too: "Maybe in another life when we are both cats". HATE.

i think they had a great idea when they put Keith Richards in the last one...
how about Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Ronny Wood in the next movie ?

somethin about old crusty english guitar slinging millionares that makes it right ...

I try to like Penelope Cruz. Considering I just found two others who don't like her, I can now stop trying.

I've had the hots for Penelope Cruz since before I knew her name when I saw her in Belle Epoque. I just don't think I can bring myself to dislike her. Equally (almost) inexplicable.

I may be mistaken, but a journey through a waterfall can't be a long one.

I kind of love these movies. What can I say, the first one came out when I was like thirteen and innocent.

Jack Sparrow is definitely an awesome character. I will miss Keira Knightley though, she was fun. Penelope Cruz is a little...much.

TK - You hate Penelope Cruz?! YOU HATE PENELOPE CRUZ?! It's..It's as if I don't know who you are anymore! Who the hell are you TK [last name redacted]?!?

Hating Penelope Cruz is wrong, just wrong.


As for the trailer, I agree, it looks like it might not suck. I wouldn't mind in the least a return to the vibe of the first film.

I have it on good authority that Penelope Cruz is a dude.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 8, 2011 10:15 AM

I think the problem with the second and third movies was that they liked (or thought the audience liked) Jack's sudden shifts of allegiance in the first movie, and overloaded the rest of them with EVERY character doing that to the point that you couldn't tell what anybody was trying to accomplish anymore, or why. If they can tone that down for this one it might turn out well.

Mr. PaddyDog hates Penelope Cruz with the hate of a thousand Tea-Partiers. She's the reason we got DVR quite early in our house despite not being early adopters. She started doing commercials for L'Oreal or some other hair color several years ago and Mr. PD just couldn't bear to listen to her so he broke down and ordered DVR service.

I hope they're able to explain why Penelope Cruz has that horrible accent after being raised by a man with an inarguably fantastic one.

As long as they manage to keep it down to one main plot and 2 or 3 minor ones, and not 15 THOUSAND different plots like the second and third films, this could be fun. Geoffrey Rush and Judi Dench make all things better.

I, too, hate Penelope Cruz. But whatever, this is the only role where I've really liked Johnny Depp, so I'll watch it despite her being in it.

Posted by: figgy at March 8, 2011 11:37 AM

I cannot understand a single thing Penelope Cruz says. I also cannot understand how she can have that accent when BlackLovejoybeard obviously has a different one? If I was BlackLovejoybeard, I would be seriously questioning the paternernity of my daughter.

I thought Jeffrey Rush was supposed to be a skeleton? I'm so confused. Was this explained in the two I didn't see?

I'm still amazed they are making movies based on thrill rides instead of the other way around.

Also, I happen to live in central Florida and I have already found the Fountain of Youth. Yes, it's water. Sulfur water. That's what you get in Florida, water that reeks of rotten eggs. So you have a choice. Drink that crap, or get old. Look at the population of old folks in Florida and I think you'll agree that drinking the water is out.

You know, I used to inexplicably hate Penelope Cruz, but then somewhere in between Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Nine I decided I kind of loved her. Plus, her taste in men finally became acceptable.

The one I am sick to death of is Johnny Depp, especially as Jack Sparrow. But I will suffer him for Rush, McShane, and Dench.

Maybe Lovejoy put her in a convent in Spain (as you did back then) to be schooled in the art of evil by nuns until she was old enough to join the family business. Makes sense to me. About the only thing that makes sense about this entire franchise.

Posted by: PaddyDog at March 8, 2011 12:23 PM

No. No I wouldn't be interested in joining you. I have no interest in watching how they turned you into a 3D prattling monkey Mr. Depp.

Joining in on the inexplicable Penelope Cruz hate. Actually i can explain mine in one word: Sahara.

Posted by: Badkittyuno at March 8, 2011 2:11 PM

Pénelope Cruz is usually terrible in American movies and excellent in Spanish ones.

After suffering through 'Sahara', it's hard to believe it's the same actress in 'Volver' - in she's outstandingly awesome.

I have it on good authority that Penelope Cruz is a dude.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 8, 2011 10:15 AM

If so, he has by far the nicest moobs I've ever seen on a dude. Even better than Thor's.

^^^^^^ *Dammit, I meant Conan's. See yesterday's Conan post.

Posted by: Uriah Creep at March 8, 2011 9:19 PM

Penelope Cruz is the poor man's Salma Hayek.
