"People want to be entertained"–Jerry Bruckheimer talks about the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN franchise

In an interview with Access Hollywood, producer Jerry Bruckheimer spoke proudly of the success of DEAD MAN’S CHEST and dropped a few hints about next year’s PIRATES 3. Asked if DEAD MAN’S CHEST’s worldwide box office of $900 million was “mind-blowing,” Jerry replied, “It’s just a phenomenal success, and we’re thrilled again for the people at Disney, and Johnny and the cast and Gore and our writers, who did it. They did such an amazing job.” And the reason for this success? “It’s a real entertaining movie, and people want to be entertained,” said the producer. “It’s fun. You get to laugh. You get to feel something. And visually, it’s so exciting to watch.”

Prompted for some hints about plot developments in PIRATES 3, Jerry said, “Well, it’s going to be a continuing story: What’s going to happen to Elizabeth? Does she go with Captain Jack, or does she end up with Will? So, we’re going to find out.” He added, “Davy Jones is back, and we’ve got Barbossa back, so we’ve got some wonderful actors and great characters back for the third one.”

And will Keith Richards make his much-talked-about appearance? “It’s going to happen,” Jerry promised. “We hope to film in September.”
