From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (PEARL HARBOR) comes PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, the thrilling high-seas adventure with a mysterious twist.

He's a Pirate
He's A Pirate
Pirates of the Caribbean fanvid to the brilliant song "He's A Pirate" from the movie itself. Just a quick recap of the movie, very fun, but no concept. All in the spirit of the coming movie! **Ok, once and for all, this song is called "He's A Pirate," it is NOT a classical song (but it is done by an orchestra) and the composer is Klaus Badelt - NOT Hans Zimmer. I don't know why so many people make that mistake.**
