Pirates of the Caribbean 5 shock: FIRST LOOK at Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann – WATCH

It was generally considered that the 32-year-old actress would not be returning to the role that made her a household name.

Michael Crichton’s ‘Micro’ Sets Sail With ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Director

‘Archer & Armstrong’ Tracks Down ‘Zombieland’ and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Veterans

While Sony struggles to build an entire movie universe out of the Spider-Man franchise, another comic book world is waiting in the wings. The studio partnered up with Valiant Comics a few years back to bring series like Bloodshot and Harbinger into theaters, but it’s been a slow road and a revolving door of writers and directors.

This Doc About One of The Internet's Biggest Pirates Actually Made Me Feel Sorry for the Guy

Image via XYZ Films The man who created Megaupload got insanely rich via morally dubious means. So it’s pretty amazing that the new documentary about the German-born hacker-turned-millionaire generates any sympathy. But it does, by sketching out an easy-to-swallow narrative alleging that powerful corporate and government forces systematically set out to destroy his life. [embedded […]
