Jack Sparrow at Comic-Con

Thanks to Techland for the video!


Depp appeared at Comic-Con via 3D

ComingSoon.net  has reported that:

As a surprise for attendees exiting the Tron Legacy panel, Disney showed a special teaser for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, now shooting in Hawaii.

Johnny Depp appeared as Captain Jack Sparrow in full 3D, sitting on the beach with a bottle of rum and speaking directly to the Comic-Con audience. He told everyone that it certainly wasn't the case that he would soon be embarking on a quest to find the fountain of youth but that, even if he were, he wouldn't be looking for a crew. But, if he did, would anyone in the audience be interested?
He promised that such an adventure would include "zombies, cutthroats, mermaids and... Penelope Cruz" and that it would be the kind of quest that would require "A bloody map. Or a bloody Mary. Or both."
