This is a sponsored post. All opinions are 100% mine. I have always been a Johnny Depp fan. From the moment I saw him on 21 Jump Street, the television series, I was in love! It has been so much fun watching him hone his craft with each movie he stars in. Some of my favorites are the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. They are so much fun to watch!
When I heard that Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales, the fifth film in the now-iconic “Pirates of the Caribbean” film franchise, was sailing into homes today, I was super stoked! The movie is available on Digital in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ today and on 4K Ultra HD™/Blu-ray™ Combo Pack coming on Oct. 3.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” is a rollicking new tale of the high seas, infused with all the elements of fantasy, humor and action that have resulted in an international phenomenon for the past 13 years. Johnny Depp returns to his Academy Award®-nominated role as the outrageous, swashbuckling scoundrel Captain Jack Sparrow.
Depp is joined by Oscar® winners Javier Bardem (Best Supporting Actor, “No Country for Old Men”) and Geoffrey Rush (Best Actor, “Shine”). Both of these actors are favorites of mine, so I am fangirling all over the place!
“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, with the screenplay by Jeff Nathanson (“Catch Me If You Can,” “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”) and story by Nathanson and Terry Rossio.
