“Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge,” which aired on M6 this Friday, April 5, was no walk in the park for the film crews. Johnny Depp’s antics have a lot to do with it…
Viewers can immerse themselves in the franchise again Pirates of the Caribbean 5 This evening. M6 broadcasts the fifth episode of the saga entitled Salazar’s Revenge, this Friday, April 5, 2024 at 9:10 p.m. This is the last part with Johnny Deppsince 2017 in the guise of Captain Jack Sparrow. In this film, our hero sees the ghosts of the past catching up with him and, together with Will and Elizabeth Turner’s son, sets out to find Poseidon’s trident in order to defeat Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem).
Since this fifth installment, the franchise seems to be at a standstill, with the beginnings of sequel projects but no film in seven years. It must be said that the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean 5 was particularly difficult for the teams. In question is the main actor himself, who was considered “uncontrollable” by the people who worked on the feature film. Accordingly germanicCrew members complained of “excessive drunkenness” and “constant delays on set,” “which regularly left hundreds of extras waiting for hours.” Sean Bailey, head of production at Disney, particularly noted that there were “days when planned plans were put to the test.”
Johnny Depp annoyed the crew so much that production had to intervene by hiding men outside the actor’s rental company in Australia to alert the crew when the lights came on and the actor finally woke up. “Everyone watched the boat sink without taking responsibility,” describes an anonymous source close to the production, adding, “But when Johnny arrived on set, he was charming and friendly. It was the yin and the yang.”
More incidents on set
Jerry Bruckheimer, franchise producer Pirates of the Caribbeanwanted to publicly defend Johnny Depp in the face of the allegations and regretted the “pressure” the actor was under at the time while he was in the middle of a divorce Amber Heard and made the front pages of the tabloids. Rumor has it that there was even an incident between the producer and Johnny Depp’s agent where each blamed the other, but Jerry Bruckheimer publicly denied this.
The rest of the production of this fifth episode of Pirates of the Caribbean wasn’t a long, calm river either. During filming in Australia, animal rights groups highlighted the importation of primates to play the role of Captain Barbossa. In addition, Johnny Depp seriously injured his hand and had to be repatriated to the USA for surgery, resulting in a break of several weeks. A man dressed as a pirate even entered the set and threatened a security guard with a knife. We can understand that a sixth film is on the cards!
