OT: Pirates of the Carribean
Hubby and I just got back from seeing Pirates of the Carribean Dead Mans Chest and it was fabulous...I was just wondering, are these movies based on books? If so, whos the author, etc? I am a avid reader and even though I love seeing Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom as pirates I would love to read books...
Thanks ya'll... The movie was great, the ending just left me frustrated and ready for more, lol.
Thanks
Ange

Hi Angela,
I don't think they are based on any certain book. When they were making the first one I seen a interview with Jerry Bruckheimer (the producer) and he said they were looking to add elements from several things. The main thing being the Ride at Disney World, since this was a disney picture. He DID say they also looked at elements from the book Treasure Island however, the movie is not based on that book at all.
We went to the Drive In and seen this Friday night and loved it!
