So "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strange Tides" starts shooting this summer (late June/early July) in Hawaii... What hasn't been addressed yet is this whole big 3D thingie that started a stampede with a little film called "Avatar." People have been wondering if POTC 4 will be shot or converted into 3D for next year's tentpole release. For the record, almost every summer/tentpole release from every studio will be in 3D for near future. But the question about Pirates, is will it be filmed that way; 2D or 3D.
The answer is both. Huh, you say? Well, the majority of the Walt Disney Pictures film will be shot in third dimension. Almost all the actor bits and dramatic scenes and all. A good two-thirds of the film will be captured that way. The remaining FX parts of the film will be shot in normal 2D and then converted to 3D. The final result of which will be ALL 3D, of course. I know you can't wait to see Jack Sparrow square off against the lord of all pirates, the darkest privateer of them all and captain of The Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard.
I can't wait to see his beard all in flames from those fire crackers tied to his hair as he boards the Black Pearl...
Thanks to Hunter for this
