Feast your eyes on the new PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE VISUAL GUIDE, a coffee-table book from DK Publishing with beautiful illustrations from THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL and DEAD MAN’S CHEST. The list price is $19.99, but Amazon is selling it for $12.99 plus shipping. (To order, click HERE.) The book features a foreword by POTC producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Here are some of his comments on Johnny Depp:

“[I]t soon became clear after the film was released that Johnny Depp had created a brand-new, authentic motion picture icon with his performance as Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny’s known for creathing his own characters, and he had a definite vision for Jack Sparrow which was completely unique. We just let him go and he came up with this off-center, yet very shrewd pirate, with his dreadlocks, gold teeth, and grand assortment of ornamental beads and charms. He can’t quite hold his balance, his speech is a bit slurred, so you assume he’s either drunk, seasick or he’s been on a ship too long. But it’s all an act perpetrated for effect. And strange as it seems, it’s also part of Captain Jack’s charm. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences certainly thought so, honoring Johnny with an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.”
