It turns out, Captain Jack owes a blood debt to the legendary Davey Jones, ruler of the ocean depths and captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. If Jack can’t figure a crafty way out of this one, he’ll be cursed to an afterlife of eternal servitude and damnation. And as if that weren’t enough, Captain Jack’s problems throw a huge wrench into the wedding plans of the blissful Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who quickly find themselves thrust into Jack’s misadventures."
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Director Gore Verbinski and stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly, will be in the sequels. They will also have Naomie Harris, Stellan Skarsgård and Alex Norton.
