Pirates Of The Caribbean 3 takes place in China ?
 

In the East Indies, yes. That's been known for a long time. As was said in the second movie, they would have to go to the ends of the earth.

I saw a bunch of the props/set pieces in the prop department last spring

So will the third installment change to Pirates from the Caribbean?

It isn't Pirates in the Caribbean, you don't necessarily stop being "of" somewhere just because you aren't there at the moment.

If it results in cute Asian pirate women being involved (though Chow Yun Fat could be sweet in a different way), then I'm in favor.

Intresting how Elizabeth seems to never be able to keep her dress on, and thus needs a different wordrobe constantly.......

;)

So far, I'm loving the costumes. So intricate! :D

The picture keeps alive the dream that Will Turner is killed over the opening credits.

You say that like it's a bad thing :p

It is. I like my laddies with some meat on them ;) ...
