Conveniently sandwiched in between the first footage from the film and its upcoming trailer debut, some new images from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides have landed online. One of the images, which features Captain Jack Sparrow being led away by friendly persuasion, comes courtesy of a recent on-set interview in which Depp said of his character:
There’s a side to Captain Jack that’s a wheeler-dealer, where he can talk his way out of anything, get out of any situation. But there is also a side to him that can’t stand for grave injustice.
To check out the two new images, as well as a few quotes from co-writer Terry Rossio, hit the jump. In addition to Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides also stars Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, and Geoffrey Rush. The film, directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago), hits 3D theaters on May 20th, 2011. [Update: Disney has released four more photos from the film. Check them out after the jump]
On set in Greenwich, England, co-writer Terry Rossio talks with USA Today (2nd article here) about how he looks at this installment in regards to its three predecessors:
It’s a completely different beast, the three previous films are a trilogy, with an intricate, interwoven tapestry of characters. I would call this a stand-alone type of story.
Rossio goes on to discuss the lone image which inspired his writing on the film:
Jack Sparrow dancing with somebody on deck. More of a romantic period dance. A ship in the moonlight, and Jack Sparrow having to dance to maybe seduce somebody. So you write that on a card and say, ‘Why is Jack Sparrow dancing?’
Finally, the co-writer offers some insight into the psyche of Penelope Cruz’s character, Angelica:
Jack has perhaps not only met his equal, but also found that she is a kindred spirit who is a con artist at heart as well. She’s not only a romantic interest, but an equal and effective adversary.
Here’s the new images, both of which you can click to enlarge [the first also comes courtesy of USA Today]:

I really hope they don’t bring back those two idiot guards from the first trilogy.
I loved them in the first movie.
In fact, I loved everything about the first movie.
I didn’t mind them at all in the first one, but the sequels kinda ran a lot of the characters into the ground… especially Jack. He used to be pretty badass, now he’s just ridiculous. I’m also glad they got rid of Keira and Orloondo Bland.
OK, they are turning the next Sparrow film into a romance? Noooooooooo!!!
Saying that, Penelope can play a fun character if it’s demanded of her, so it might not be as nauseating as I imagine.
You can’t not have a feminine personification of the main character in a story like this. That’s basic, and it’s Blackbeard daughter and his co-star from Blow. Not to mention how cool is it their no Bloom or Knightly? Good actors but their characters held things back near the end their.
