'Pirates Of The Caribbean 5': Seasickness Troubles Cast And Crew - Producers Look For Calm Waters

The cast and crew of “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” are facing another challenge in the form of seasickness. The producers are said to be now looking for another location in Australia where there are calm waters to continue filming.

The filming for “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” has been taking place at Gold Coast, Australia. According to a report by ABC, seasickness among the cast and crew has resulted in the producers “partially” moving the filming to Raby Bay near Brisbane.

Raby Bay, Cleveland Australia is said to have calm waters and according to the report, movies like “Unbroken” and “The Chronicles of Narnia” where filmed at this location. The Mayor of Redland City Council, Karen Williams, and the people of Cleveland are apparently preparing to welcome the cast and crew of “Pirates of the Caribbean 5.”

"Raby Bay has calm waters, we have the calmest waters in south-east Queensland here in Redlands,” Karen Williams said. The Mayor also pointed out that the location has “beautiful landscapes of islands” and the “perfect picture of the horizon.” This may make it an ideal setting for the upcoming Johnny Depp movie.

The director Joachim Ronning had gone scouting for a location to film scenes at the Great Barrier Reef about three weeks ago. The director had posted this image of him steering his boat to find a suitable location to film on the ocean. He said that he loved shooting on the ocean and teased that “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” will feature bigger vessels.

Images from the sets of the upcoming movie have been consistently leaking online. The latest set of images show massive ships being built on the set for the movie. These images were posted by Jared C. Adamo, on his Twitter page. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer also posted this image of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow being tied up onboard a ship.

The leaked pictures from the sets of “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” show a ship with blue screens being used on the deck. Blue screens are generally used to add visual effects using computer graphics at a later stage. The images also indicate there may be another ship being built alongside the first and a ship to ship battle scene may be filmed soon.
