October 9, 2002 — St. Petersburg Times reports:
Break out those Gasparilla costumes and a passport. Walt Disney Pictures will hold an open casting call Oct. 19 for swashbucklers to perform in a movie based on the Pirates of the Caribbean amusement park ride. Auditions will be held at the Pier in St. Petersburg from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Similar casting calls will be conducted in Miami and Key West. About 250 actors will be chosen for those events. According to St. Petersburg/Clearwater film commissioner Jennifer Parramore, selected actors will travel to California for two weeks of "pirate training" then spend two months on location on St. Vincent, part of the Windward Islands chain about 200 miles northeast of Venezuela. Pirates of the Caribbean will star Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush.
For information, call Parramore's office at (727) 464-7240 or Susan Robertson at (727) 821-6443.
