Today, Disney released a TV trailer for their upcoming summer sequelPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. There isn’t much new footage in this one minute spot. But it is cut quicker, and comes across a lot more flashier than the full-length trailer that debuted just a few weeks ago. It sure makes the sequel look like a rousing adventure that is more in tune with the original than some of the later movies.
Johnny Deppreturns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-newPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Therip-roaring adventurefinds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea-notably Jack. Jack’s only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy.
