January 13, 2003 — Fangoria recently talked to Jerry Bruckheimer about Disney's latest theme park attraction turned feature film. Here's what he had to say...

"The pirates - what happens is they stole this cursed treasure and unless they put the treasure back, they never die, they can't enjoy life. They can't enjoy food or sex. All they want to do is plunder and get more and more and more gold. And in the moonlight, they turn into skeletons. So, you can just imagine the effects. ILM is doing the effects. [Director] Gore Verbinski, who did THE RING, is very imaginative and is working with ILM. I've never seen skeletons like this. They have actual features and pieces of flesh and their costumes still on, so it's fascinating". Garth from Dark Horizons adds that the ship that'll be used as Johnny Depp's boat has an official site now up at BrigUnicorn. The ship will be used along with a mock port city in a cove down at St. Vincent. Also the film is still shooting and FOX News has some further details on why its taking so long.
