Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a 2011 adventure fantasy film and the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Gore Verbinski, who had directed the three previous films, was replaced by Rob Marshall, while Jerry Bruckheimer again served as producer. In the film, which draws inspiration from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is joined by Angelica (Penélope Cruz) in his search for the Fountain of Youth, confronting the infamous pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane). The film was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, and had its theatrical debut in release dates falling within May 18 and May 20, 2011. The release was presented in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3D, as well as in traditional two-dimensional and IMAX formats.

Writers Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott first learned of Powers' novel during the back-to-back production of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, and considered it a good starting point for a new movie in the series. Pre-production started after the end of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, with Johnny Depp collaborating with the writers on the story design. Principal photography rolled for 106 days between June and November 2010, with locations in Hawaii, the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico and California, and used 3D cameras similar to those used in the production of the 2009 film Avatar. Ten companies were involved with the film's visual effects.

On Stranger Tides opened to mixed reviews, with praise to the acting, directing and visuals, but criticism over the script-writing, excessiveness, and lack of originality. The film has earned over $1 billion worldwide, making it the eighth film overall and the second film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series to do so. It broke many box office records upon release, and it stands as the 8th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide.

Plot

After a failed attempt to rescue his former first mate, Joshamee Gibbs, (Kevin McNally) in London, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is brought before King George II (Richard Griffiths), who wants Jack to guide an expedition to the Fountain of Youth before the Spanish locate it. Heading the expedition is Jack's old nemesis, Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), who is now a privateer in service to the British Navy after losing his leg, as well as Jack's ship, the Black Pearl.

Jack escapes, but his father, Captain Teague (Keith Richards), finds him and warns Jack about the Fountain's tests. He also reveals that someone is impersonating Jack. The impostor is Angelica (Penélope Cruz), Jack's former lover and daughter of the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), who with his sword possesses supernatural powers and also practices voodoo magic.

Jack is taken aboard Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, and forced to lead the way to the Fountain and to find two silver chalices that once belonged to Juan Ponce de León, both of which are believed to be aboard his lost ship. The Fountain's water must be drunk simultaneously from the two chalices. The person drinking from the chalice containing a mermaid's tear has his life extended, while the other person dies, his years of life drained from his body. Meanwhile, Gibbs, having memorized and destroyed Jack's map, barters with Barbossa to guide him to the Fountain.

Blackbeard wants the Fountain's power to circumvent his predestined fatal encounter with "a one-legged man" and sets a course for Whitecap Bay. There, he traps a mermaid (Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey) whom Philip Swift (Sam Claflin), a captive missionary, falls in love with and names Syrena. Blackbeard then sends Jack to retrieve the chalices from de León's ship.

When Jack finds the grounded, decaying vessel, Barbossa is waiting inside: the Spanish have already taken the chalices. However, Barbossa only seeks revenge against Blackbeard for capturing the Black Pearl, which forced Barbossa to amputate his own leg to escape. He and Jack join forces to defeat Blackbeard, then head to the nearby Spanish camp to steal the chalices. Meanwhile, Syrena, who returns Philip's love, is tricked into shedding a tear, which Blackbeard collects. He then leaves her to die and forces Philip to go with him. Jack returns with the chalices and Gibbs, whom he had reunited with while helping Barbossa. Jack negotiates with Blackbeard for the return of his confiscated magical compass and the release of Gibbs. In return, he vows to give Blackbeard the chalices and lead him to the Fountain. Blackbeard agrees and Gibbs departs with Jack's compass.

At the Fountain, Blackbeard and his crew are attacked by Barbossa, then the Spanish, sent by their king to destroy the Fountain, believing its power is an abomination against God. A battle ensues, which culminates in Barbossa stabbing Blackbeard with a poison-laced sword. Angelica accidentally cuts herself with this sword when removing it from her father. Barbossa claims Blackbeard's magical sword, and assuming command, leaves with Blackbeard's crew. Meanwhile, Philip, though mortally wounded, escapes and returns to free Syrena. After finding the chalices that the Spaniards had tossed into deep water, Syrena gives them to Jack, then retrieves the dying Phillip, taking him underwater to save his life.

As both Blackbeard and Angelica lay dying, Blackbeard wants his daughter to sacrifice herself to save him. Angelica willingly agrees, but Jack secretly switches the cups, giving her the one containing Syrena's tear, thus sparing her life and killing Blackbeard. Despite declaring their love, Jack, knowing Angelica may want to avenge her father's death, strands her on an island, intending for a passing ship to pick her up. Meanwhile, Barbossa, who now commands the Queen Anne's Revenge, renounces his ties to the crown and reverts to piracy. Jack finds Gibbs, who used Jack's compass to locate the Revenge and retrieve the Black Pearl, as well as other captured ships that Blackbeard had magically shrunk and bottled. The two head off, hoping to find a way to return the Pearl to her original size.

In a post-credits scene, Angelica, still on the island, finds Blackbeard's voodoo doll of Jack, which has washed ashore.

Production

Development

Shortly before the premiere of At World's End, Jerry Bruckheimer stated it was the end of the trilogy, but the idea of a spin-off was still possible.[4] After the film's successful opening weekend, Dick Cook, former Chairman of the Walt Disney Studios, said he was interested in a fourth installment.[5] While writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio started working on a script in 2007, they were interrupted by the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, and only resumed in mid-2008.[6] On September 25, 2008, during a Disney event at the Kodak Theater, Cook and Johnny Depp, in full Captain Jack Sparrow costume, announced that a fourth Pirates movie was in development.[7]

In June 2009, Bruckheimer indicated Disney would prefer the fourth installment of Pirates be released before The Lone Ranger film, which he, Johnny Depp, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio had been working on for release on May 20, 2011. He also hoped Gore Verbinski would return to direct the fourth film, after his BioShock film adaptation had been put on hold.[8] As Verbinski was unavailable, Bruckheimer raised the name of Rob Marshall, who he considered a "premiere filmmaker", stating that "Every film [Marshall] made I thought was unique and different."[9] On July 21, 2009, Marshall went to Bruckheimer's office in Melrose Avenue, and decided to accept the job because of the " whole new story line and set of characters. It felt new, and that was important to me." [6] Marshall said the film provided him a long-awaited opportunity to work with Depp, and that his directing was helped by past experience as a coreographer - "the action sequences felt like big production numbers."[10] On September 11, 2009, at Disney's D23 convention, the title was announced as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.[11]

In September 2009, Cook resigned after working for Disney for over 38 years.[12] After Cook's resignation, Depp's faith in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was somewhat shaken, with Depp explaining that "There's a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment. It was all born in that office".[13] Depp also explained Cook was one of the few who accepted his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, claiming that "When things went a little sideways on the first Pirates movie and others at the studio were less than enthusiastic about my interpretation of the character, Dick was there from the first moment. He trusted me".[13]

Writing

During production of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio discovered Tim Powers' 1987 novel On Stranger Tides, which they considered a good foundation on which to base "a new chapter" in the Pirates series.[9] In April 2007, Disney bought the rights of the novel.[14] Rossio stated that he and Elliot had considered using Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth in the story before reading the book, "but whenever you say those words, Powers' novel comes to mind. There was no way we could work in that field without going into territory Tim had explored." However, they denied that it would be a straight version of the novel: "Blackbeard came from the book, and in the book there is a daughter character, too. But Jack Sparrow is not in the book, nor is Barbossa. So I wouldn't call this an adaptation."[6] Rossio declared the script was written to be a standalone film, kinda "kind of a James Bond sort of thing", instead of the "designed to be a trilogy" structure of the previous installments.[15] They also hoped to "designe a story that would support new characters," as characters such as Will Turner would not return.[16] Bruckheimer added that there was a decision to "streamline the story a little bit, make it a little simpler and not have as many characters to follow", as the big number of characters and subplots in At World's End caused the film to have an unwildely length.[9] The duo decided to employ another sea myth alluded in the previous episodes with the mermaids,[15] which are briefly referenced in the book, but had their role expanded in the script, including a vast attack sequence.[16]

Depp was deeply involved with the story design, frequently meeting the writers to show what he was interested in doing, and in the words of Rossio, being "involved in coming up with story lines, connecting characters, creating moments that we would then fashion, shape and then go back."[15] Among Depp's suggestions were turning Phillip into a missionary, and having a Spanish contingent following the protagonists. Afterwards, Rob Marshall and executive producer John DeLuca met Rossio and Elliot, and did alterations of their own, including building the female lead.[16]

Casting

Depp signed on to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in September 2008, saying that he would come back if the script was good.[7] Almost a year later, Disney announced that Depp would be paid $55.5 million for his role, realising that without him the franchise would be "dead and buried."[17] Geoffrey Rush expressed interest in returning to his role as Barbossa,[18] and Bruckheimer later confirmed his presence.[19] Three other actors from the previous films returned, Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs, Greg Ellis as Lt. Theodore Groves,[20] and Damian O'Hare as Lt. Gilette.[21] Keith Richards also had a cameo reprising his role as Captain Teague from At World's End, and he and Depp tried to persuade Mick Jagger to audition for the part of a pirate elder.[22] Previous cast members Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley stated that they would not reprise their roles as they wanted to be involved in different films, and that they thought the storyline involving their characters had gone as far as it could.[23][24][25] On February 5, 2010, Mackenzie Crook also announced he would not be reprising his role of Ragetti, stating, "They haven't asked me. But actually I don't mind that at all. I'm a fan of the first one especially and I think the trilogy we've made is great. I'd almost like them to leave it there."[26]

New cast members include Ian McShane, who played the notorious pirate and primary antagonist of the film, Blackbeard, and Penélope Cruz, who played Angelica, Jack Sparrow's love interest.[19] Marshall said Cruz was the only actress considered for her role, saying she fit the description as "an actress who could not only go toe to toe with Johnny and match him, but also needed to be all the things that Jack Sparrow is in a way. She needed to be funny and clever and smart and crafty and beautiful."[10] Depp recommended Stephen Graham, who worked with him in Public Enemies, to play Scrum, a Machiavellian pirate and sidekick to Jack Sparrow.[27][28] Sam Claflin was chosen to play the missionary Philip,[29] and British actor Paul Bazely also joined the cast.[30]

Casting for mermaids required the actresses to have natural breasts, no implants, as Bruckheimer explained to EW, "I don’t think they had breast augmentation in the 1700s, [...] So it’s natural for casting people to say, ‘We want real people.'"[31] Spanish-French actress Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey was selected to play Syrena,[32] and Australian supermodel Gemma Ward became Tamara, the villainous Queen of the Mermaids.[33] Spanish news website El Pais reported that the film had a total of four Spanish actors: Cruz, Bergès-Frisbey, Óscar Jaenada, and Juan Carlos Vellido.[34]

Filming

Principal photography began on June 14, 2010 in Hawaii.[35][36] Filming was moved to California in August 2010,[37] primarily at the Long Beach shore,[38] and a recreation of Whitecap Bay done in Universal Studios' backlot.[16] After a brief shot at Palomino Island in Puerto Rico,[39] in September production moved to the United Kingdom, where principal photography wrapped on November 18, after 106 days of shooting.[16] Locations included Pinewood Studios in London,[40] and Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich.[41] The producers also considered using New Orleans as a location.[42] In October, security was breached at the UK site when a celebrity impersonator was able to gain access to filming at the Old Royal Naval College by dressing up as Captain Jack.[43]

After the joint production of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End cost over $300 million, Disney decided to give a lower budget to the fourth installment.[1] Many costs had to be cut, including moving primary production to Hawaii and London, where tax credits are more favorable, and having a shorter shooting schedule and number of scenes featuring special effects compared to At World's End.[44] The tighter schedule — according to Bruckheimer, "We had a 22-week post, and for a picture like this, with almost 1,200 visual effects shots, it's usually 40 weeks." — also caused Marshall to edit the sequences simultaneously to filming them.[16]

Jerry Bruckheimer said the option for 3D was due to being "immersive filmmaking; I think it makes you part of the actual filming because you’re part of the screen." Bruckheimer described it as the first major "exterior movie" to be shot in 3D, as Avatar was mostly done in sound stages.[9] At first Marshall was not much interested in 3D, but the director eventually considered it a film that could benefit from the format — "you are on an adventure and with the 3D experience you are inside that adventure."[10] While the original plan was to add 3D effects on post-production, it was changed for filming with 3D cameras. Only one sequence was shot conventionally and needed a 3D conversion.[9] The cameras were improved versions of the ones James Cameron developed for Avatar, made more compact for extra mobility which would allow bringing the cameras into locations such as the Hawaiian jungle.[45]

Effects

On Stranger Tides employed 1,112 shots of computer-generated imagery,[16] which was done by ten visual effects companies.[46] Cinesite visual effects supervisor Simon Stanley-Clamp claimed that the most difficult part was doing the effects in 3D: "Rotoscoping is tricky. Cleaning up plates is double the work, and tracking has to be spot on."[41] The lead companies, with over 300 effects each, were Industrial Light & Magic—responsible for among others, the mermaids and most water effects[47]—and Moving Picture Company, who created digital ships and environment extensions, such as changing weather and designing cliffs and waterfalls.[48] The mermaids involved the eight model-actresses who portrayed them outside water, as well as 22 synchronized swimming athletes and stuntmen who wore the motion capture suits to be later replaced by digital mermaids.[38][49] Cinesite handled the recreation of London and Barbossa's peg leg,[41] CIS Hollywood did 3D corrections and minor shots, and Method Studios created matte paintings.[50]

Music

The film's score was written by Hans Zimmer, who had worked in all previous movies, including being the main composer of the second and third installments.[51] Zimmer said that he tried to bring in his music both a rock n' roll sound, as he felt "pirates were the rock 'n' rollers of many, many years ago",[52] and Spanish elements, which lead to a collaboration with Mexican guitarists Rodrigo y Gabriela and a tango song written by Penélope Cruz's brother Eduardo.[53] American composer Eric Whitacre helped with choir-based songs,[53][54] and Geoff Zanelli worked on many songs.[51]

On January 6, 2010, Disney announced that the film would be released in the United States and Canada on May 20, 2011, following Columbia Pictures' announcement of a delay in the Spider-Man reboot and Paramount Pictures slating Thor to May 6, 2011.[55] The film was released in IMAX 3D, as well as traditional 2D and IMAX format,[56][57] with usage of Dolby's 7.1 surround sound.[58]

The world premiere of On Stranger Tides was on May 7, 2011, at a premium ticket screening at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, home of the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride that inspired the film series. Many of the film's stars were in attendance. Two other early screenings followed, one in Moscow on May 11,[59] and another during the Cannes International Film Festival held in France on May 14.[60] The international release dates fell within May 18 and May 20, with first release was in the United Kingdom on May 18, in Australia on May 19, and North America on May 20.[61][62][63][64] The film was released on a then worldwide record of 402 IMAX screens, 257 screens in North America and 139 in other territories.[65] The overall number of theaters was 4,155 in North America and 18,210 worldwide.[66][67]

Promotion

Disney's marketing president MT Carney said that the film's advertising campaign "wanted to remind people of why they fell in love with Jack Sparrow in the first place and also introduce new elements in a way that was elegant".[16] Sony Pictures' former marketing president Valerie Van Galder was hired as a consultant.[68] The first footage from the film appeared on Entertainment Tonight on December 4, 2010.[69] Three trailers were released,[16] one in December, which had a 3D version included with the release of Tron: Legacy[57] and broadcast by ESPN 3D;[70] a Super Bowl XLV spot on February 2011, which was later released online in an extended version;[71] and a final trailer on March, focusing more on the plot than the previous trailer and commercials.[72]

Promotional tie-ins included Lego Pirates of the Caribbean toy sets and a related video game,[73][74] a cell phone app by Verizon Wireless,[75] a special edition of Pirate's Booty,[76] lines of nail polish by OPI,[77] clothing from Hot Topic,[78] and jewelry from Swarovski.[79] Goldline International also produced replicas of both the "Pieces of Eight" coins from the movies and gold Mexican Escudo coins, which were given in sweepstakes at the El Capitan Theatre.[80] At Disney California Adventure, the Pirates of the Caribbean segment of the World of Color show was extended to include visual clips and music from On Stranger Tides.[81]

Home media

The film will have its high-definition home release on October 18, 2011. Three different physical packages will be available, a 2-disc combo pack (Blu-ray and DVD), a 5-disc combo pack (2-disc Blu-ray, 1-disc Blu-ray 3D, 1-disc DVD, and 1-disc Digital Copy), and a 15-disc collection featuring all four Pirates movies. On Stranger Tides will also be released as a movie download option in both high definition and 3D.[49][82][83] The regular DVD edition will come out a month later, on November 15.[84]

Reception

Box office performance

On May 18, 2011 the film opened overseas in 10 territories making $18.5 million. The following day, it expanded to another 37 markets, adding an extra $25.7 million.[85] Its midnight showings grossed $4.7 million from North America.[86] On Friday, May 20, it had its premiere in the remaining countries, with $46.2 internationally,[85] and $35 million in North America.[87]

On its opening weekend, the film grossed $90.1 million in North America, the best opening of the year that far (since surpassed by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 and Transformers: Dark of the Moon), but much lower than its predecessors (Dead Man's Chest earned $135.6 million, and At World's End had $114.7 million).[66][88] The five-day international opening grossed a then-record $260.4 million from over 100 countries. It broke opening weekend records in Russia, Latin America, the Middle East, Norway, Turkey and Ukraine. Ten countries had grosses of at least $10 million, Russia ($31.4 million), China ($21.8 million), United Kingdom ($18.7 million), Germany ($19.7 million), Japan ($18.5 million), France ($15.6 million), South Korea ($12.2 million), Italy ($10.5 million), Australia ($10.5 million) and Spain ($10 million). The Russian and Chinese opening weekends surpassed At World's End's entire theatrical runs in those countries.[67][89] The $350 million overall opening surpassed At World's End's $334 million as best in the series, and ranks it as the fifth highest worldwide opening.[90] It also scored the at time largest worldwide debut of all time at IMAX theaters ($16.7 million) with a large $61,000 per theater average,[91] before being surpassed by Dark of the Moon ($23.1 million).[92] 3D showings accounted for 66 percent of the international gross, but only 46 percent in North America.[93]

On its second weekend, On Stranger Tides went down to third in the North American box office with $39.3 million, behind The Hangover: Part II and Kung Fu Panda 2,[94] but retained the top spot overseas with $124.3 million.[95] It broke the records for reaching $500, $600 and $700 million worldwide the fastest (in 10, 12 and 16 days, respectively)[95][96][97] but all its records were overtaken by Dark of the Moon and Deathly Hallows Part 2.[98][99] On the weekend of May 27–29, 2011, On Stranger Tides surpassed Fast Five to become the highest-grossing film of 2011 worldwide.[100] (Deathly Hallows surpassed the film in August)[101] After 44 days in theaters (July 2, 2011), it crossed the $1 billion mark, becoming the second-fastest film to do so behind Avatar (17 days) and the fastest Disney film to do so. It therefore became the eighth film in cinema history and the fourth film released by Walt Disney Studios to reach the milestone.[102]

On Stranger Tides has earned $239,679,520 in the United States and Canada, as of August 14, 2011, and $798,500,000 in other territories, as of August 14, 2011, for a worldwide total of $1,038,378,077.[2] It is the fourth highest-grossing film of 2011 in North America (behind The Hangover Part 2, Deathly Hallows and Dark of the Moon)[103] and third highest worldwide (behind Dark of the Moon and Deathly Hallows), as well as the 8th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide. It is also the second highest-grossing film of the series (behind Dead Man's Chest) and the third highest-grossing Disney feature of all time worldwide (behind Toy Story 3 and Dead Man's Chest).[104] Overseas, On Stranger Tides is the highest-grossing Disney film of all time.[105] It is also the highest-grossing Pirates film in 58 territories.[106]

Critical reception

On Stranger Tides has received mixed reviews. Review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 33% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 238 reviews, with a rating average of 5 out of 10. The site's consensus was, "It's shorter and leaner than the previous sequel, but this Pirates runs aground on a disjointed plot and a non-stop barrage of noisy action sequences."[107] On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, gives a film a rating score of 45 based on 39 reviews.[108] CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was a B plus on an A plus to F scale.[66]

Roger Ebert gave On Stranger Tides two out of four stars, saying that although the removal of Knightley and Bloom as well as the addition of Cruz were positive aspects, the film in general was "too much of a muchness" for him.[109] Tom Long of The Detroit News gave a D+, saying that Jack Sparrow "worn out his welcome", that despite the more linear plot "the movie is still ridiculous" and ultimately finding On Stranger Tides "precisely what you'd expect of the fourth installment of a movie based on an amusement park ride: a whole lot of noise, plenty of stunts and complete silliness."[110] British film critic Mark Kermode gave the film an overwhelmingly negative review on his 5 Live show, saying "it's not as staggeringly misjudged as the third part, because it is just nothing, it is just a big empty nothing".[111]

As with the previous ones, the plot was criticized as incoherent and confusing. The Arizona Republic critic Bill Goodykoontz rated the film 2/5, stating that "the movie is a series of distractions tossed together in the hopes that they will come together in a coherent story. That never really happens."[112] Online reviewer James Berardinelli considered the script "little more than a clothesline from which to dangle all of the obligatory set pieces",[113] and USA Today's Claudia Puig found On Stranger Tides "familiar and predictable, (...) often incoherent and crammed with pointless details."[114]

However, many believed that the film being better than its predecessor was enough, although it never reached the level of the first in the franchise. Mike Scott from The Times-Picayune mentions that "while this latest chapter isn't quite sharp enough to restore the sense of discovery that made that first outing so darn exciting, it's enough to make up for most of the missteps that made the third one so darn arrgh-inducing."[115] Writing for The A.V. Club, Tasha Robinson described On Stranger Tides as "a smaller film than past installments, by design and necessity", and felt that "the series has needed this streamlining" as the film "feels lightweight, but that's still better than bloated."[116]

On Stranger Tides also had positive reviews which found the film entertaining and well-made. Richard Roeper gave the film a B+, describing it as "the most fun installment since the first", calling the story "pure cartoon, but a lot easier to follow than the other sequels", and summing as "the franchise is getting tired, but Penelope energizes it."[117] Along the same lines, Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post gave the film three out of four stars, writing that it "feels as fresh and bracingly exhilarating as the day Jack Sparrow first swashed his buckle, infusing new reckless energy into a franchise that shows no signs of furling its sails", feeling that Marshall "swiftly and without fuss delivers the action set pieces and eye-popping escapism" and praising Depp, Cruz and McShane's performances.[118] Ray Bennett from The Hollywood Reporter considered that Marshall "shows terrific flair with all the usual chases and sword fights, and he handles the 3D well", and welcomed Penélope Cruz's character, saying she "brings her Oscar-winning vivacity" and had "lively sexual tension" with Depp.[119] Writing for The Globe and Mail, Rick Groen found the action scenes to range from "merely competent to tritely cluttered", but was pleased with the overall result, calling McShane a "fresh villain" whose "stentorian tones are welcome anywhere".[120] Variety's Andrew Barker considered the film derivative, but accessible — "It has nary an original idea and still doesn't make much sense, but it's lost all pretensions that it should" — and had much praise to Geoffrey Rush, stating that he "not only gets the funniest lines and reaction shots, but also starts to siphon away much of the roguish charm that used to be Depp's stock and trade."[118]
