The fourth film in the blockbuster series – inspired by a Disney theme park ride – shows no signs of franchise fatigue.

This is despite the director of the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films, Gore Verbinski, surrendering duties to Rob Marshall (Chicago).

Former choreographer and musical theatre director Marshall shows he’s right at home with the campy, over-the-top antics indulged in by the cast, most notably Geoffrey Rush, reprising his role as Jack Sparrow’s nemesis, Hector Barbossa.

In a bit of canny casting, Penélope Cruz is spot-on as the seductive she-pirate Angelica, who has some history with Jack Sparrow.

And of course, central to all the mischief on the high seas is Johnny Depp’s beloved buccaneer, still channeling Keith Richards as Angelica enlists his help in the search for the Fountain of Youth.

Now firmly a career criminal on-screen, Ian McShane (Deadwood) plays the villainous Blackbeard, who attempts to thwart Sparrow.

Did You Know...? Penélope Cruz was pregnant throughout production, but it wasn’t noticeable until Sept 2010. As her baby bump grew, it caused some difficulties in wardrobe, so the producers enlisted the help of Cruz’s younger sister, Mónica Cruz.
