Pirates of the Caribbean Web

The Site's Future

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:46:35 -0500

As all of you know, I am increasingly finding it harder and harder to find time to maintain the site. I love this site, it was my first fansite and I really do not want to give it away but I am not sure if it even has a future. POTC does not seem to garner the same support, excitement that it had before and I do not have the energy to update it. So what I am again calling for a full time webmaster to maintain the site or at least help me so that more stuff can get added/maintained on the site otherwise I am not sure if I want to keep the site any longer.

I welcome your input so please comment me your feelings, thoughts, suggestions.

Johnny Depp keeps promise

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:40:11 -0500

OSHKOSH, Wis. — Twelve-year-old Jack Taylor got a good lesson in following through on promises.

He had just one request in April when he met movie star Johnny Depp, who was in the area filming parts for the upcoming John Dillinger movie ‘‘Public Enemies.’’ Taylor wanted Depp’s hat.

Last week Depp followed through and sent him his fedora.

After Depp made the promise, Taylor’s parents tracked down his agent to make sure he’d get the hat. The agent even sent promotional gifts from Depp’s ‘‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’’ for Taylor’s four siblings.

Depp also wrote Taylor a note telling him to enjoy the hat and other gear. He says he’s working on a return letter, with some help from his parents.

Many scenes for the movie, which is about Dillinger’s crime sprees, were shot in Wisconsin.

Johnny Depp tops best actor poll

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:57:41 -0500

Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp is Britain's favourite actor, according to a survey.

Depp beat home-grown stars like Daniel Craig, Sir Sean Connery and Orlando Bloom to top the poll, conducted by the Cinema Advertising Association (CAA).

The star, 45, took the largest number of votes across all ages and genders.

CAA spokeswoman Anna Cremin said Depp's "wide appeal" was down to his ability to move "from serious films like Donnie Brasco to blockbusters and comedies."

She added: "Few other actors have managed to be so versatile."

The CAA conducted the research with 3,000 people aged seven and over.

Although he has received three Oscar nominations, Depp has never won a coveted Academy Award. He has also left the Baftas empty-handed on two separate occasions.

But the star did pick up a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Sweeney Todd earlier this year, and took home two golden popcorn prizes from the MTV Movie Awards, in California, last week.

Depp is also set to appear in Terry Gilliam's film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, next year.

He stepped in to play one of three incarnations of Heath Ledger's character after the death of the 28-year-old actor in January.

Site Update!

Fri, 09 May 2008 00:47:57 -0500

Sorry that I have not been updating but as you know, the site's news has been slow...real slow.

Even with that, the site was hacked into TWICE so I have fixed it and everything should be fine now.

As with help for the site, what I really need is someone to update the news on the site (just as I am now). I can show you how to use the news script...which is super easy and that will be it. I run three other sites and its hard to keep up sometimes so the help would be appreciated.

As for updates, I have added ALL OF THE FANART I have received. Thank you so much to all of the artist and letting the site have their work. Remember that I always accept more fanart

So forgive me for my absence and thank you for the well wishes and concern. You all are fantastic.

Hope everyone is well!

Depp to Help Coma Girl

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:47:36 -0500

HOLLYWOOD - Kind-hearted Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has vowed to help a British girl who is fighting for her life after spending five months in a coma.

The parents of 17-year-old Sophie Wilkinson from Southampton, England, who was critically injured in a car crash last year, wrote to the Pirates of the Caribbean star, who is their daughter's favorite actor--and Depp was so moved by their plight that he resolved to help.

Depp has agreed to record a voice message for the teenager that will be played to her in the hopes it will help bring her out of the life-threatening coma.

He also agreed to try to visit the stricken teen at Southampton General Hospital.

And Sophie's father, Andrew, was delighted the star offered to give up his time to help.

He says, "We are looking for the key to wake her up, so we wrote to Johnny and he said he would do the recording in the voice of (his Pirates of the Caribbean character) Jack Sparrow.

"Only this week Sophie moved her right leg, which she has never done before. When we got home my wife and I were jumping for joy!"

DEPP, LAW + FARRELL TO COMPLETE LEDGER MOVIE

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 19:27:31 -0600

JOHNNY DEPP, JUDE LAW and COLIN FARRELL have signed up to save the film their late friend HEATH LEDGER was making before he died. Ledger was shooting The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus in London just days before he was found dead in his New York apartment last month (22Jan08).

Director Terry Gilliam was determined to salvage the unfinished movie - and has asked Depp, Law and Farrell to pay tribute to Ledger by taking turns to play his character in the scenes the Australian never got to shoot, reports AintItCoolNews.com. Toxicology results released earlier this month (Feb08) revealed Ledger was killed by an accidental overdose of prescribed medications.

Guess Who Contest!

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 18:59:10 -0600

It literally took me close to a year but I was able to get ALL OF ENTRIES UP! Thank you so much to all of your patience and I appreciate the support of the site

Congratulations to HEATHER! She was the top winner in the Guess Who Contest who was able to identify that it was William Turner Senior with his captain, Davey Jones.

I have emailed everyone who I got an entry from and I hope to hear back from the winners soon.

The new contest is up and I changed the graphic a little bit. It is no longer animated but instead just a pixelated image. I also became nostalgic for one of the older potc movies ;) and chose a pretty easy one in my opinion (++hint hint++) So many people guessed incorrectly last time, an all time high so I made it a little easier.

Well I got a ton of homework to deal with...look forward for some updates soon. Hugs!

Hey everyone! I have been so tired-- 3 exams next week, no joke!-- and neglecting online life, but I am still working on a round of stuff so no BAILING! hahaha

~~Anyways, I have decided to temporary take down the GUESS WHO CONTEST PAGE until I can catch up with the TON of entries So please bare with me on that.~~

Secondly, GOT A NEW GALLERY HEADER coming. More POTC and less the stars of, if that makes any sense to anyone.

Thirdly, I have decided to create a wallpaper contest that will be coming in the following weeks, so look for that.

Lastly, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! =D

Johnny Depp welcomes Barry Manilow duet

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:16:28 -0600

Johnny Depp welcomes a duet with Barry Manilow.

The Hollywood star revealed he would jump at the chance to sing with the 64-year-old 'Mandy' singer.

Speaking about his lead role in musical 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,' he told Envelope magazine, "I don't think I would have attempted this kind of project with anyone but a director like Tim Burton.

"But if there's a chance of doing a duet with Barry Manilow now, then I'm in!"

Depp previously admitted he was unsure of his own singing talents before signing up for the film.

The 44-year-old star said, "I knew I wasn't tone deaf but I didn't know if I'd really be able to hold the notes or belt out a tune."

But Burton claims Depp "exceeded all expectations" with his vocal performances.

He said, "I always had every confidence in him and he needn't have worried at all.

"His performance was wonderful and exceeded all of my expectations. He is a great actor."
