About Jack Sparrow in brief
Captain Jack Sparrow is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. The character was created by screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio and is portrayed by Johnny Depp. The characterization of Sparrow is based on a combination of The Rolling Stones’ guitarist Keith Richards and Looney Tunes cartoon character Pepé Le Pew. In the films, Sparrow is one of the nine pirate lords in the Brethren Court, the Pirate Lords of the Seven Seas. Sparrow represents an ethical pirate, with Captain Barbossa as his corrupt foil. His true motives usually remain masked, and whether he is honorable or evil depends on the audience’s perspective. Sparrow is tinged with madness after extended solitary confinement in Davy Jones’s Locker, and now desires immortality. He headlined the Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and is the subject of spin-off novels. The movie uses elements from Tim Powers’ novel of the same name, particularly Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth, but the film is not a straight adaptation of the novel. The fifth film, Dead Men Tell No Tales, was first announced on September 28, 2008, during a Disney event at the Kodak Theater in New York City. Director Gore Verbinski did not return to direct the fourth installment and was replaced by Rob Marshall, who has directed the last three films. The film is expected to be released in May 2015, with a release date to be announced at a later date in the future.
It will be the first film in the Pirates series to be directed by a female director, and the first in the series to feature a female lead, as well as a male lead and a female supporting character. The series was inspired by the Disney theme park ride of thesame name, and when the ride was revamped in 2006, the character of Jack Sparrow was added to it. The writers concocted the cannibal sequence to show that he was in danger whether on land or at sea. Sparrow’s state-of-mind as he is pursued by DavyJones becomes increasingly edgy, and he is perplexed over his attraction to Elizabeth Swann, and attempts to justify it throughout the film. At World’s End was meant to return it tonally to a character piece. Sparrow struggles with what it takes to be a moral person, after his honest streak caused his doom in the second film. He tells Will Turner a pirate can be a good man, like his father. By the end of On Stranger Tides, Sparrow and his crew are sailing to the Fountain Of Youth, an early concept for a second film, and producer Jerry Bruheimer said in 2007 that a fourth film was possible. If there ever were another Pirates film, I would start fresh and focus on the further adventures of CaptainJack Sparrow, says director Gore Verbinksi. If there were another film, I would start the first Pirates film by the first of the series, and I would not focus on Jack Sparrow.
