Kaya Scodelario Claims PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5 Is "Much More Like The First Film"
After Disney announced Dead Men Tell No Tales, many people questioned the necessity of a fifth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie. However, the first film is still dear to many fans' hearts - and it sounds like the producers are looking to recapture its magic...
The Pirates Of The Caribbean series has become increasingly derided with each new installment. Despite On Stranger Tides' impressive box office figures, many people viewed (Captain) Jack Sparrow's most recent venture as the weakest of the bunch. However, if there's one thing that never changes, it's how revered 2003's The Curse Of The Black Pearl is in the eyes the fans.
It seems Disney are looking to recapture that magic with the franchise's fifth entry, Dead Men Tell No Tales. Promising the sequel "will have much more of the feel of the first film,", incoming star Kaya Scodelario played up the tonal similarities between the two movies. "[The producers] want to take it back to the beginning again," she told Digital Spy, "They wanted it to have this epic journey, and for it to make sense, and for it to tie things up, and also lead to new storylines."
Scodelario also elaborated a litte on her character, Carina Smyth. "[Carina] is an astronomer, and she is an academic," she claimed, "She's fighting for the right to study at university, because women couldn't at that time." She also managed to sneak in a few minor plot details. "So she's on her own journey - looking for the trident of Poseidon - and she has a diary with clues, and she encounters Jack Sparrow along the way, and he messes everything up. As he does. And it's fun!"
'Fun' is probably the best way to describe these movies - although Curse Of The Black Pearl is still one of the best adventure/fantasy blockbusters of the last fifteen years in my book. Could this next film reach similar heights? Sound off with your thoughts below!
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is set to hit theatres July 7, 2017.
