No it wasn't. And the accents were all wrong.

He was actually a bit of a last minute idea. Besides those were the worst French accents I have ever heard.

Actually, he undertook the Disney project under the condition that he could develop the role his way and make changes to the script etc.
His accent still made it for me, very Keith Richards.
What was that about something 'French' in the film?

  Not that unusual for an actor of his status. None the less he joined the production rather late in it's development.

  The movie was based on a ride at Disneyland. Those pirates were French. The pirates in the movie had lousy French accents. Just my opinion.

    Nothing 'French' in the plot.
    Sorry.
    Must've just been the ride.

    - Really? You mean they also had English pirates in New Orleans?. - Analog Scott 08:05:48 08/14/06 (3)
      I don't think so.

        It was set (the film, not the ride) in Port Royal.
        Which is in Jamaica.
        Which was under British rule.

        From some of th scenes that were directly lifted from the ride. The actual pirates of the Caribbean were often found in Nw Orleans. Hey don't get me wrong, I don't really care that they decided use English accents for what should have been French pirates. But given that they should have been French I think all arguments about dialects are kind of frivalous. Depp did a very good Kieth Richards accent.
