AceShowbiz - Hysteria emerged from Disneyland in Anaheim, California on Saturday night, May 19 as the theme park was filled with numerous guests cheering for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" stars in their celebration of the flick's world premiere.
All eyes fixed on the 1,000-foot long red carpet that stretched along the park's Main Street USA up to Frontierland by the time Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Bill Nighy, Keith Richards, and director Gore Verbinski walked down there on their way to a stage in front of Tom Sawyer Island.
Also present was Geoffrey Rush who stole a handful of attention when he showed up with Chiquita, the pet monkey of Captain Barbossa, the character he played in the flick, on his shoulder.
"I invited the monkey because I knew they were going to print a lot of photographs of Johnny (Depp) and Orlando (Bloom), and I needed a gimmick," the actor joked.
Stars aside, the exclusive event really turned to be a very entertaining occasion when the pic's composer Hans Zimmer went onstage to perform selections of the score before a giant movie screen, through which the film was presented until 11.35 PM.
The latest installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series based on the park's famous attraction, "Worlds End" sees our hero Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann team up with Barbossa to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow from the clutches of the Kraken to then head beyond the very ends of the earth for one last decisive battle. Film opens in theaters nationwide this Friday, May 25.
