How about some fun facts?
I love facts, don’t you love facts?
- The extraordinarily detailed St. Martin town set, designed by Nigel Phelps and executed by supervising art director Ian Gracie and construction coordinator Bernie Childs, sits on five acres of verdant terrain in the Hinterlands suburb of Maudsland and is an artist’s concept of a fanciful, teeming British colonial village in the Caribbean. Although most of the structures were only fronts, at least two—Grimes’ Tavern and Swift’s Chart House—were in three dimensions, wonderfully and atmospherically decked out by Beverley Dunn’s set decoration department. Some of the buildings were cleverly designed to be picked up and moved in their entirety to different sections of the village to give even a greater sense of the town’s size.
- Costume designer Penny Rose and her team converted an entire 20,000 foot soundstage at Village Roadshow Studios in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia into a wardrobe warehouse filled with 2000 costumes, hats, shoes and accessories, all meticulously arranged by character names, types, genders and ages. To properly age the wardrobe, Penny Rose and her team used a variety of innovative techniques, including putting them along with pebbles in a cement mixer, using cheese graters to wear them down and, occasionally, taking blowtorches to materials as well!
- For his extensive makeup as the cursed Captain Salazar, actor Javier Bardem endured anywhere from two to three hours in the makeup chair each and every day. But when the beautiful Golshifteh Farahani was transformed into the mysterious sea witch Shansa, she required four to five hours! Key hair designer Peter Swords King’s department created more than 1,000 wigs for the film, and on the biggest days made up 700 extras and 30 principals, with a main team of 22 people and another 70 in a vast tent for background, stunt players and wranglers. The facility was humorously referred to as “the sausage factory.”

My other half is a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan, I hadn’t watched any till we got together. It will be really interesting to see where they take this story!
I’m excited to finally see the movie. It’s always good to see Johnny Depp’s performance as Captain Jack but I’m interested in seeing Javier Bardem as the new villain too.
We are really looking forward to catching this movie. My husband was suppose to go to a screening of it but missed due to a family emergency and he was so bummed!
I love reading through the trivia in this post. OMG, I cannot believe it took 2-3 hours to put that make up on Javier Bardem! Golshifteh Farahani had to wait 4-5 hours until her make up as Shansa was done. And this happened every day on the set. Wow.
I cant believe the number of costumes and hats and boots and whatnots! It was that much to occupy a 20,000 ft soundstage? Wow. What a big production this was!
Totally ready for this movie! I’ve seen all the other movies and I definitely cannot wait to see this one with the kids especially now that my kids can all handle the scary parts and are not so little anymore. I think it’s going to be awesome.
I think this movie is going to be amazing. I’ve seen all the cast interviews and the trailers and I think they did a great job and they picked good actors as well. I’m so excited for this one!
