London premiere of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST set for July 3, 2006

Exciting news for all our friends across the pond . . . the UK premiere for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST will take place in London on Monday, July 3rd at the Odeon Theatre in Leicester Square. Longtime Deppheads know this location very well, and have stood behind barricades waiting for a glimpse of Johnny Depp at many previous premieres. There is no word yet as to whether Johnny will attend the London premiere, but it seems likely. Thanks to poppet for posting the news on the Zone’s News & Views forum.

The US premiere of DEAD MAN’S CHEST will take place at Disneyland–along with the unveiling of the updated Pirates of the Carribean ride, now featuring an animatronic Captain Jack Sparrow–on Saturday, June 24th, in conjunction with the press weekend for POTC:DMC.
