Pirates Of The Caribbean 7-Disc Blu-ray Box-Set (Blu-ray)
Synopsis
Release Date:
March 1,2011Although it would have been nice if Disney had at least changed out the trailers on the discs from the original Blu-ray release the films do look stunning on Blu-ray. Furthermore, the new disc of content (although glued on to the packaging as an afterthought) does provide a lot of good additional features and a tease of the new movie. No need to buy again if you bought the original blu-ray box-set but if you didn't now is the time to upgrade!
This exciting release includes all the features of the original Blu-ray Box Set released a few years ago plus a movie ticket offer for this summers' Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides!
Lose yourself in the magic of every moment of the swashbuckling phenomenon that took the world by storm with all three films of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN trilogy in one spectacular eye-popping, ear-stunning Blu-ray™ boxed set. Thrill to the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow and the unforgettable cast of rogues and heroes that made each of these movies a smash hit from sea to sea.

* Deleted scenes
* "Anatomy of a Scene: The Maelstrom" (20 min.) An in depth look at this amazing scene.
* "Masters of Design" (25 min.) 5 featurettes which describe the Costuming (Keith Richards amazing wardrobe by Penny Rose), Sao Feng's Map, The Code Book, Crash McCreary: The Cursed Crew, and Rick Heinrichs: Singapore.
* "The Tale Of The Many Jack" (5 min.) shows how this bizarre (and superfluous) scene created multiple Jack Sparrows.
* "The World of Chow Yun Fat" (5 min.) is a little odd in that he speaks Mandarin with subtitles, but still interesting, as it enlightens us as to what a presence he is and how he pretty much brought his own methods of filming/working to the project and was allowed to do so because he is such an international star.
* "Keith & the Captain: On Set With Johnny And The Rock Legend" (5 min.) is lots of fun; almost like a train wreck as the poor man speaks unintelligibly, but he is still magic when he picks up a guitar and starts to strum.
* "The Pirate Maestro: The Music of Hans Zimmer" (10 min.) is another case of being pressured; you hear how he also wants to outdo the previous films. Interesting to watch one of the musicians play a saw and then see Verbinski jamming on an electric guitar.
* "Hoist the Colors" (5 minutes) Composer Zimmer tells how the opening song came to be.
* 2 Deleted Scenes
* "Inside the Maelstrom" blu-ray exclusive is an approximately 40 minute interactive look into the creation of this amazing special effects sequence.
