PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLDS END

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" sets sail for theaters May 25th, lucky the sound crew from the first two installments are manning the wheel. Co-Supervising Sound Editors George Watters and Chris Boyes have been working together on most of Jerry Bruckheimer's films since 1996's "The Rock". They both were nominated this past February for sound editing on the 2nd Pirates at both the oscars and mpse golden reels. Boyes who does double duty as the 2nd re-recording mixer on Pirates 3 has been reported to be soupin' next year's"Iron Man". Boyes teamed up again with Paul Massey for "Dead Man's Chest" also receiving Sound Oscar nomination for the re-recording mixing. Massey, no stranger to nods has been tapped for his work on "Master and Commander" and "Walk the Line" in the last few years. Shooting the production sound throughout the trilogy, Lee Orloff had to endure some very noisy very wet conditions. Orloff has been nominated 7 times for the sound Oscar winning for "Terminator 2". Hans Zimmer, composer of such blockbusters as "Batman Begins" and "Gladiator" has composed for both pirate movies. Instantly recognizable, I have heard the main pirates theme played at NBA games. There were 3 scoring stages credited with the tracking the score so I linked them all below. Compared to the first two PotC,"At Worlds End" seems broadest in scope, placing Captain Jack and the rest of the scalawags in ice encrusted and the south pacific waters. Given the sound crew's track record I am sure we're in for another great sounding adventure.
