New Clips from Pirates 4

Ready or not, we're less than two weeks away from the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and MTV Movies Blog has got some new clips from the film, including the usual Captain Jack madness, the apparently reformed Captain Barbossa, and some Ian McShane-as-Blackbeard awesomeness:

Well, I'm excited to see it...I love these movies.  As with the previous films in the series, Disney welcomed the latest Pirates film with a premiere screening at Disneyland in California this past weekend.  The whole cast and crew was in attendance, and Disney Parks Blog has some great shots of the stars making their way up the red carpet along the park's Main Street to the screening area at Rivers of America.  Love those Disneyland premieres.

Rumor also has it that the ride that inspired the films will be getting another movie addition, with McShane revealing in an interview with SciFi Magazine that he recently filmed footage for a holographic edition of Blackbeard that will join the animatronic pirate crew at the theme parks, possibly replacing the existing holographic Davy Jones that greets guests on the ride now.  While that news might send theme park purists reeling, the additions of Captain Jack and Davy Jones on the latest incarnation of the Pirates ride turned out pretty good, so the more, the merrier as far as I'm concerned.  That damn song on the ride will always stay the same, anyway.
