PotC4 - Just one...

[dwgm]

My dear friend djarum99 drew my attention to this one yesterday. The original (from which this is cropped and tweaked) was posted yesterday by Jerry Bruckheimer on Twitter...




Profuse apologies for the lack of replies to your comments yesterday -- I can't get LJ at work, and after an iced venti cafe mocha at 1 PM I was so full of energy that I came home and hung pictures until 7:30, after which there was swimming, delicious dinner by gingersnapps, and AWE!

*hugs you all*

I loved the pic that Bruckheimer posted on twitter, also someone posted footage of filming in Hawaii on youtube! :)

I joined Twitter just so I could access Mr. B's posts. *g* And I posted links to the youtube videos a couple days ago -- great stuff! It's sure fun seeing what they're doing each day.

My girlfriend just told the movie based on this book called On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers (1988) with the main pirate character called Jack Shandy replaced by Jack Sparrow. She said if they follow the main storyline it should be an excellent movie, she loves the book.

I don't think they'll follow the storyline of the book, which I'm currently reading. Jack Sparrow vaguely resembles another character in the book, and there are some great descriptions of the journey to the Fountain of Youth, but otherwise I bet they're mostly just using the title. There's a lot of fairly gruesome voodoo stuff, too, zombies and the like, and I hope PotC4 doesn't get its tone from the book, which is quite dark.

Great pic, love the expression, so CJS; and all the weaponry.
Sounds like a perfect evening. Yum, swimming.
Your work is associated with the school system, isn't it?
Could you email me? I'd like your opinion on something (not related to POTC, sadly).
Thanks,

It was a perfect evening, as was tonight, going to bed early tonight, however, it's too quiet at work in the afternoons during the summer and I start nodding off if I don't get enough rest, lol! So happy you enjoyed the pic, I'm sure Mr. Bruckheimer would appreciate the kudos. *g*

Yay! Captain Sparrow is back!

I saw the other version of this shot on Facebook, with Jack in silhouette against a bright blue sea. It's gorgeous too!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Yes, the original shot is almost a silhouette, with much more blue sea, too, but I wanted to see the details of his costume so I tweaked it in Photoshop. Yay for CJS, indeed!

[djarum99.livejournal.com]

Some of his dreads look...gray? Blonde? I'm leaning towards blonde. I'd love to hear Jack's backstory on that one :-)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

No, that's only because I was fooling around in Photoshop so I could lighten him up enough to see his costume.

[djarum99.livejournal.com]

There are other pictures of Jack from P4 filming that feature light-colored dreads, and I played with this picture in PS myself, so I think there's a plot point there :-) I don't know if I can stand the wait until summer of 2011!



ETA: Can you see them in this one? Still not sure what's going on there...

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Maybe the mermaid gave him hair extensions? ;)

Anticipation is half the fun, but yes, I'm looking forward to next May, too!!

[krystallazuli.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a perfectly AWEsome day!

Thanks for the pic... I'm happy for the rest of the day.

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

It was AWEsome, but I stayed up too late, going to bed early tonight, for a change. Glad the pic made you happy! It did me, too. :)

Commenting from San Diego Comic Con. :)

YOU ARE LIKE THE POTC PICTURE FAIRY!!! THANK YOU!!!

*enjoying pics immensely even when I can't comment, like yesterday when I went on my iPod, and didn't comment anywhere because the keyboards on those things SUCK*

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Yay for Comic Con! My youngest, weemonkey6, is there for the week, too. She loves it, she's been going every year for a long time now.

Glad you enjoyed the pic!! We must thank Mr. B. next time we see him. *g*

Great picture! Thanks for sharing. :)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! One really doesn't get tired of new CJS pix.

[pearlseed.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, is it time yet? I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Only ten months to go! Wheeeee!

[tndixie.livejournal.com]

Love the picture, Gosh May 2011 seems such a long ways away!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Only ten months. And anticipation is half the fun!

[compassrose7577.livejournal.com]

Anticipation can be the torture, as well!!!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Well yes, there is that aspect to it, too.

[compassrose7577.livejournal.com]

Just returned from a bit of merriment meself!
Ahhhh!!!! I love it when Captain Jack is all cropped and tweaky!!!
It's good to have him back, is it not?
And a cup o' cheers to gingersnapps, too!!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Merriment is such a good thing, I'm glad to hear you've been partaking! Glad you enjoyed the pic, too, and yes, soooo good to have him back!!

gingersnapps returns your greetings! And if I had my wish you'd be here for peach pancakes and swimming -- the weather is perfect!!
