Have you noticed it? Has it struck you as odd? Here we are, just over 2 months from the release date of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and yet we haven’t seen a single trailer, the official website isn’t up, and we’re basically hearing NOTHING from Disney about it at all. Doesn’t that strike you as strange?
Last year, Pirates 2 had a big TV spot for the Superbowl… and that was when Pirates 2 wasn’t even being released until June. And look how that turned out? The single largest opening weekend boxoffice in recorded history. So it does lend itself to ask the question: “Why was there no Pirates 3 ads at the Superbowl this year… and more than that… why have we seen NOTHING from the film so far? ” Is there something up?
Our friends over at JoBlo were wondering the same thing:
…almost no pictures that we can publish without receiving a “cease and desist” decree from the Man behind the Mouse, no posters, and now rumblings that things are going slower than anticipated in the editing room and that the film may not make its official May 25th release date? Heck, Disney is still mum about whether or not Rolling Stone Keith Richards is even making an appearance in the film
So what’s the deal? Are they having problems with the post-production? Did they think the film sucked and they’re working on re-cutting or even re-filming some stuff? Will the movie get delayed?
I’m guessing the film will be released on schedule… but at this point I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t. What are your thoughts?
