Pirates of the Caribbean was a massive surprise hit in the early 2000’s, so naturally Hollywood quickly jumped on making some sequels. That led to the second movie Dead Man’s Chest, which just kind of ended without resolving anything to ensure that people would want to come see the third movie - At World’s End. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End definitely raises some questions though. Like why is death so impermanent for the main characters? How did Jack and Barbossa become pirate lords? Is that dog magical? Why are we spending so much time talking about pirate politics and magical mythology? Why doesn’t Will Turner step in a bucket of water to visit Elizabeth as Davy Jones did? Why did Calypso turn into a giant and then into crabs? Why are there so many sequels going on? To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
