User blog comment:X9 The Android/Interview Questions with Terry Rossio/@comment-996391-20190828165916

Here are some of the questions from Reddit:


 * 1) Where did you get the name Jack Sparrow from? Did you just see a sparrow outside your office one day while brainstorming and decided that was the name you were gonna use?


 * 1) I'd love to know if there is anything planned regarding the exploration of Jack's youth. I'm a big fan of the Jack Sparrow / Brethren Court book series and would love to know wether there might be a Netflix series or another movie about those events.


 * 1) Are you involved at all in Disney’s new Pirates of the Caribbean project and if so what can you say about it?


 * 1) What was your favorite PotC movie to write? Who was you favorite character in the movies to write?Is it different from your regular favorite character from the franchise?


 * 1) If you had the chance to add one maritime legend like Davy Jones or the Kraken, what would you choose?


 * 1) What was your main cinematic inspiration behind the series?


 * 1) Was Jack Sparrow always intended to become the main focus/character of the series, or was making him more the main character just a response to how popular his character became with fans? Just wondering because in The Curse of the Black Pearl Will is the one who feels more like the main character over Jack, and I thought was weird that with Dead Man's Chest and At World's End he began to take more of a back seat to Jack’s story until he was just gone from On Stranger Tides.


 * 1) What are your feelings on the fourth and fifth films compared to the trilogy? Is there a longer cut of At World’s End somewhere in the vault? How different was your script for DMTNT? Why was it dropped? How was working with Rob Marshall compared to Gore Verbinski? Was there a lot of producer and studio interference in the fourth movie?


 * 1) How did Davy Jones know how to bind Calypso? And did Calypso's powers allow him to take his heart out without him dying?
