Shortly after Disney’s presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, I got to talk to producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Rob Marshall about Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. While the studio has released a number of trailers, images and posters from the 4th installment, yesterday was the first time the studio had shown any significant amount of footage. While we’ve been asked not to reveal anything specific, I can tell you we got to see three sequences: the first took place in London, the second was out at sea, and the third came from the end of the film and it featured many cast members searching in a jungle for the Fountain of Youth.
As you might expect, the footage was loaded with action, and it featured Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow having to escape from a variety of unique situations. Also, with the presentation for theater owners, Disney showed us the footage in 3D and it looked fantastic. Since the movie was shot using 3D cameras, I wasn’t surprised.
Anyway, hit the jump to see Bruckheimer & Marshall talk about making the film, how they choose what footage to show, and what’s their go to karaoke song:

You get to talk to them for 2 minutes and 30 seconds and you WASTE 45 seconds of that on a question about karaoke??
I’m sure they didn’t think you are a joke.
Yeah, I agree..
Maybe you could have asked if they feel this film will redeem the series after the previous two films which although financial successes were not received well by fans-
I’m sick of people asking fluff questions in this country instead of being the voice of the nation when they are given the opportunity.
I think that was a great mini-interview. I’m sure they respected you for being short and respecting their time, and for coming with a unique question. They’ll probably remember you for that when you interview them in the future. CATS huh? I wish I knew who he played. I was a big fan of that show 20 years ago.
I’d be interested to hear Jerry tell exactly how and why Marshall was chosen to direct. I respect Rob Marshall and believe he is the right man for this movie, but I was pretty shocked when the news came that he would direct a POTC film. Not exactly his typical choice.
