You got to have a scene happening in this place. And then I’ll find something else and say, ‘Oh wow this is great. And I look for stuff that’s too cool not to use. What I always do when I’m writing a book is first I read all the history and biographies and things like that that I can find. So I read a million books (that is probably fifteen books) about that particular crowd of pirates that were in the Caribbean in 1718 like Stede Bonnet, Black Beard, and Anne Bonny. And so I thought, you know you loved Treasure Island.And I thought I bet you can set a nice fantasy story in among the pirates, Black Beard, that crowd. Q: What inspired you to write On Stranger Tides?Ī: I was already hooked into using real historical places for settings. We caught up with the author to find out more about his book. In the process of writing his book, Powers researched voodoo magic, historical pirate profiles, and history. Suffice it to say, the two didn't work as replacements for Will and Elizabeth.Fantasy writer Tim Powers published the novel On Stranger Tides in 1987, the book that inspired Captain Jack Sparrow‘s latest big screen adventure– Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. The problem is, whereas Will and Elizabeth's courtship was central to the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy and the pair had actual arcs in all three films, Swift and Syrena's romance was largely inconsequential to the rest of the plot in On Stranger Tides (widely regarded as the worst Pirates movie), and the two received little in the way of actual character development. Meanwhile, On Stranger Tides introduced a new pair of young heroes-turned lovers in the forms of Phillip Swift (Sam Claflin), an inexperienced but virtuous missionary imprisoned by the movie's villain Blackbeard, and Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey as Syrena, a mermaid who is captured by Blackbeard and cared for by Swift, and later returned the favor by saving him after he's mortally wounded during the film's climax. In an interview with The Independent in 2010, Knightley confirmed she wouldn't reprise her role as Elizabeth for the movie, saying she "had a wonderful time" making the trilogy, "but you know, I think, for me three is enough, definitely." Bloom made similar comments in an interview with MTV that year, saying he had "a great time" on the trilogy before explaining, "I just really wanted to do different things."īoth Bloom and Knightley focused on acting in live theater and smaller films after wrapping the trilogy, and have only appeared in a handful of tentpoles in the years since. Because of this, Bloom and Knightley were ready to leave the franchise behind them after that, even as development on a fourth film (which would become On Stranger Tides) started to ramp up.

In the end, Will and Elizabeth finally get married before Will is killed in the climactic battle with Jones and then resurrected as the Dutchman's new captain, but at a price: he and Elizabeth can only see one another every ten years when he's able to set foot on land again.

Their fates once again intertwined with Jack's, with Will attempting to free his father, Bill, from an eternity of servitude aboard Davy Jones' ship, the Flying Dutchman, and Elizabeth unexpectedly being elected the new Pirate King (with a bit of help from Jack). Titled Dead Men's Chest and At World's End, the films would go on to follow the pair as their wedding plans are interrupted. In the wake of The Curse of the Black Pearl's success at the box office, Disney green-lit a pair of sequels to be shot back-to-back, with Bloom and Knightley reprising their respective roles.
