“Pirates Of The Carribean: At World’s End”

“Pirates of the Caribbean”, which started off as a single movie has become quite popular and turned into a trilogy almost overnight. Director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have packed “World’s End” with so much explosive action, opulent decor and surreal scenes of mayhem and madness, including a mass crab-and-ship exodus, an apocalyptic-looking waterfall and life-size and miniature hallucinatory clones of Capt. Jack, some capering around Depp’s mane and shoulder, that sometimes it’s overwhelming.

Peter Jackson To Direct “Lovely Bones”

It seems that Peter Jackson, the director of “The Lord of the Rings” has decided to come back out and make yet another movie. Peter Jackson is teaming up with DreamWorks SKG to film his adaptation of the best-selling novel “The Lovely Bones.”

DreamWorks beat out three other bidders Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. to finance Jackson’s version of Alice Sebold’s 2002 best-seller about the murder of a 14-year-old girl who narrates her tale from heaven. Jackson, best known for the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, will direct from a script he wrote with his wife, Fran Walsh, and collaborator Philippa Boyens.
