“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” dropped anchor at Cannes

.

The swinest pirate from the Seven Seas, Jack Sparrow, and his crew disembarked last Friday at Cannes Film Festival for the worldwide premiere of Pirates of The Caribbean’s fourth film.

Chameleon-like actor Jonny Depp and Penélope Cruz walked the red carpet to supervise the showing from the last chapter of the pirate series and to win reviewers approval, the actor confessed.

Depp, hiding from behind  his sunglasses, chuckled when asked about the possible harsh critics of the blockbuster: “I've always feared the critics. They really scare me.”

Spanish actress Cruz, who appears for the first time in the Pirates saga, talked about how she showed her most swindler side when performing for her role of Angelica: “I discovered it was this manipulative pirate and a character so full of colors and contrasts and contradictions. I was very happy with the material when I read it. I thought there were a lot of possibilities. It's so much fun to play a liar, because I'm not a good liar in life.”

On this film Captain Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past named Angelica  who's trying to use him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. After Angelica forces Jack to board Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, he finds himself on a new adventure. 

Geoffrey Rush and Kevin R. McNally join once again the adventures of Jack Sparrow. The new faces include British actor Sam Clafin and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.

“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (Disney) lands in theaters this Friday May 20.
