A fusillade of Pirates |
|
The hoopla started Saturday night at Disneyland with an over-the-top premiere. |
USA Today - The hoopla started Saturday night at Disneyland with an over-the-top premiere. At 8:45, composer Hans Zimmer appeared on a stage before a giant movie screen with an electric guitar to lead his orchestra in selections from the film's score. After the cast was introduced, the film played until 11:35. Then came fireworks.
With leading lady Keira Knightley in Europe shooting The Edge of Love, Keith Richards easily emerged as the most colorful character of the evening.
"I feel like I'm on a sort of flashback acid trip," the Rolling Stones legend marveled on the red carpet. Richards joins the cast as father to Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow, and Depp got a big chuckle after hearing Richards' remarks. "Disneyland is all about the imagination, and that sort of psychedelia can go in any direction, can't it? It can be quite dark, and it can be quite light and perfect here at the happiest place on Earth with the giant mice."
Looking very Depp himself in a black vest, skulled scarf, shades and jewelry, Richards said he and Depp are "growing into each other." He arrived in L.A. on Thursday and is now off to Brussels to begin rehearsals with his fellow Stones for a concert June 5.
Geoffrey Rush (Captain Barbossa) walked the carpet with his character's pet monkey, Chiquita, 11, perched atop his shoulder and sipping from a juice box. Rush joked, "I invited the monkey because I knew they were going to print a lot of photographs of Johnny (Depp) and Orlando (Bloom), and I needed a gimmick."
Disney has plenty of those to keep Pirates on moviegoers' minds. Among them:
•Beginning Tuesday, Disneyland guests can download exclusive features to their Nintendo DS players at three X-marked spots near the Pirates ride.
•On Friday, Disneyland will unveil its Pirates Lair attraction on the redesigned Tom Sawyer Island.
And Pirates' voyage in theaters might not yet be done. Though producer Jerry Bruckheimer vetoed a TV series, he says more Pirates movies and even a Broadway musical are "a definite possibility."
