''Yesterday I was thinking about Isla de Muerta (I like to recreate scenes from movies (PotC movies) in my head, weird, I know :D ) and I thought: "What was Jack's real plan?!" And now I ask you. If someone knows what was Jack's real plan in Isla de Muerta (I mean plan before starting the duel with Barbossa and the battle between cursed crew and Norrington's men) please write in comment! If you have some theory about it - write in comment!''
 * I think the four writers of CotBP actually clarified it in the DVD commentary(including Ted and/or Terry); I remember listening to it LONG ago. For any that are interested in finding it themselves, I think it was played during the scene where Barbossa tells the crew "Take a Walk"...but the audio commentary has to be playing. But to answer question here, if memory serves...
 * Jack's plan (if by connecting the writer's words was exact as onscreen), was to go meet with Barbossa and his cursed crew at Isla de Muerta's cave, to convince Barbossa to send his cursed crew on the longboats, while Norrington and his men go aboard the Dauntless. The intention of this plan was to have Barbossa's crew row towards the Dauntless as Norrington's men would fire the ship's cannons the crew until Jack and Will were able to lift the curse.
 * To shorten the plan, I present dialogue from this scene:
 * Not if you're the one doing the ambushing. I go in and I convince Barbossa to send his men out with their little boats. You and your mates return to the Dauntless and blast the bejesus out of them with your little cannons.
 * However, as always, Jack's plan had complications. He didn't expect the following:


 * The first sign of battle happening - Norrington ignoring Jack's plan, because he believed it to be some of Jack's trickery, and staying guard off the coast of the island (Because it was Mr. Sparrow who said it.)
 * The second (and most important sign) - Barbossa ordering his crew to "Take a walk" rather than "All hands to the boats", which was what Jack intended(Gents, take a walk)
 * So that's all I can figure regarding Jack's plan, and assume it to be true because of the accuracy of it. Hope this helps! :)

And why didn't they open fire on Pintel and Raggeti, I mean they didn't know pirates were cursed, right?
 * Depends. Do you mean Norrington's men on the longboats firing or Gillette and co. aboard the Dauntless firing on them? If you meant Norrington's men, it was because Pintel and Ragetti were disguised as "beautiful women"; but if you meant Gillette's men, it's because the other cursed crewmembers were starting their attack.

''We were all sorry because Hans Zimmer won't compose the music for the movie, right? Well, it seems like Jack White didn't do really good job with midi music so Jerry and Gore hired Zimmer to compose music! Isn't that great?! I'm so happy. This movie will be awesome!!! Can't wait July! I just wonder why is Zimmer always second choice? :D And I wonder how will he make the music on time. He has 7 months and 10 days untill the premiere. And he has some other work for this and next year too.''
 * Actually, from some sources, it was because of scheduling conflicts that Jack White was unavailable to do Lone Ranger; but either way, it is great to see Zimmer take part in this. As for how he will make the music in time, well...I think according to Zimmer, they had a VERY short schedule in bringing in music for CotBP. So I guess it won't be as bad with TLR.
