Orlando is Guybrush, LeChuck is Geoffrey Rush


Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen the previews of Disney's Pirates of the Carribean Movie?

 

Premise: Some carribean resident has to go after the evil undead zombie pirate after he kidnaps the guys sweetheat, the governer.

sound familiar?

 

I reckon the writers - Eilliot and Rossio (Shrek, Eldorado, Aladin) - must've known about Monkey Island for sure.

 

Apparently the script is very funny ( go to Jim hill media for a script review), and perhaps monkey islandish. But not sure about the overall production - looks a little too serious in the preview.

 

For those contemplating who would play who in a monkey island movie... here is who Bruckheimer (producer) went for:

 

Guybrush.......Orlando Bloom

LeChuck.........Geoffrey Rush

Elaine.............Keira Knightly

 

From the preview it seems Johnny Depp plays a pirate who Orlando goes to for help.

 

Naturally since it rips off the Monkey Island, its a really good story, and is going to do very well at the box office.

 

Not sure as to whether thats a good or a bad thing for any Lucas backed Monkey Island movies..

 

..but either way, it may be the closest things we get to Monkey Island the movie.

 

I hope its really good!

 

Anthony.
