katikat | PotC - the audio commentary

I listened to the audio commentary by Gore Verbinski (the director) and Johnny Depp. They mostly gushed about Geoffrey Rush - Johnny Depp was so excited to make a film with him - or about Keira Knightley. Orlando Bloom was mentioned only in passing - when Verbinski talked about how the various actors' approached their sword fighting training and Orlando was all "Oh, I know how to do that, I DID Lord of Rings, you know? I can handle that" - so, I have to wonder if Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom didn't get along or if there was just nothing to say. But it didn't seem like there was bad blood or something, Johnny did say that Orlando had a great talent for comedy and that he should do more of that. So, who knows? *shrugs*

I just skimmed through Keira Knightley's audio commentary - by then, it was almost 1am! - but she seemed to have had a lot of fun with Orlando, even though they had only four scenes together. It was so funny to hear her gush about their kiss, Elizabeth and Will's, she even said it out loud, "I'll be gushy now!" She almost swooned about the way he kissed her and then she giggled about how the teenage girls on the set were giving her the evil eye, LOL! Oh, and I didn't know she was only 17 at that time. Wow! Also, Jack Davenport who played Norrington? Seems to be a really funny guy!
