Pirates premiere reveals more surprises

In addition to the new movie, more "Pirates" news is unveiled at the Disneyland screening.

Disneyland's Main Street was packed with onlookers as the stars of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" arrived at the film's premiere Saturday.

Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley greeted hordes of fans as they made their way down Main Street to the pirate ship waiting to take them to Tom Sawyer's Island premiere. Other stars attending the premiere included Kate Bosworth and Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger with first lady Maria Shriver.

Also on hand were the creative minds behind the "Pirates" sequel, who revealed the latest news on the third film opening next year.

The title of the next film, due for a Memorial Day opening, will likely be "At World's End" and will wrap up the story from the cliffhanger ending in "Dead Man's Chest," screenwriter Terry Rossio said.

"It's the pirates' last stand; the end of an era," Rossio said.

The third film will also introduce Chow Yun-Fat as a Chinese pirate. All of the Caribbean scenes for the film have been shot, while interior scenes will be shot later this summer.

Disney chairman Dick Cook also revealed that new animatronic figures of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom would be added to the already-renovated Pirates of the Caribbean ride next year.

Another ride-based film titled "Jungle Cruise" is already in development, Cook said.
