Arrr, matey.

The London Times:
PRODUCTION on two new Pirates of the Caribbean films, starring Keira Knightley, has been halted because of raids by real-life brigands, according to reports from the Bahamas.
Pirates! Of the Caribbean!

OK, well, actually, the problem is that hotel rooms have been burglarized, equipment has been stolen, and a couple of the actors started to "fear for their lives" and left.

No actual maritime combat, and no authenticated sightings of parrots, peg-legs, or skeletons armed with sabers. I'm disappointed. It's almost enough to make you wonder if the Bahamian authorities have investigated the movie's publicist. After all, did you know they were shooting sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean?
