News reports are coming in:

Orange County Register
By 5:30 a.m., Shelley Thompson and Caitlin Bruffey were already on a mission at Disneyland - to see Johnny Depp.

The 17-year-old Orange girls, sporting yellow T-shirts stating: "Captain Jack is Back," camped out all day on a blanket along the red carpet for the world premiere of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel at Disneyland. The park opened early, at 6:30 a.m., because it closed early for the premiere festivities.

"At first we were scared we weren't going to get in," Bruffey said. The girls were among thousands of fans who lined Main Street for a chance to see their favorite stars of the movie, including Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.

Some came from out of state for the chance. "It's a premiere inside the park. How could you not do it?" said Ken Williamson, 37, of Washington D.C.

When Martin Landau heard some screaming girls, the actor quipped, "They think I'm Johnny Depp." Landau co-starred with Depp in the 1994 film Ed Wood.

Bill Nighy, who plays Davy Jones in the movie and came down the red carpet before him, jokes that he was just a warm-up for Johnny Depp. "It's a nice feeling. It's a nice vibe," he said. "They dig the movie and there's a warm feeling for it."

When the first "Pirates" movie premiered at Disneyland in June 2003, it featured the longest red carpet in history at the time, stretching 900 feet down Main Street to New Orleans Square. Saturday's premiere also sported a lot of red.

"To have a movie premiere here is amazing," said skateboarder Tony Hawk. "I can't believe they have a red carpet this long."

Musician Mark Hoppus of the band Blink 182 said he grew up at Disneyland because he has family in Orange County. His wife's parents met while working at Disneyland, he said.

Hoppus also went to the first movie premiere at Disneyland. "It's the best thing that ever happened from being in a band."

To accommodate the big event, Disneyland had shortened hours Saturday - 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. - so the park could clear out for the premiere. Parades were canceled for the day.

Disney's California Adventure offered extended hours to accommodate guests.

After the stars had arrived, viewers were set to watch the movie from bleachers set up in New Orleans Square on a screen erected on Tom Sawyers Island.

The interest was intense: about 200 media outlets were set to come, compared with the usual 50 or 60 for a standard premiere.

Before the movie was shown, the revamped Pirates of the Caribbean ride made its private debut, allowing invited guests and stars, such as Johnny Depp and his family, to try it out first. Disney Imagineers have integrated movie characters Capt. Jack Sparrow and Barbossa into classic scenes along the route.

The official public opening for the ride is set for Monday when the theme park opens at 8 a.m. But today, Disneyland patrons are expected to get an unofficial sneak peak."Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" moves to theaters on July 7.

Report from BBC News...

The Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, starring Keira Knightley, has had its premiere in Disneyland, Los Angeles.

The first film was a global blockbuster and earned praise for its cast, especially Johnny Depp.

The movie has returned to its spiritual home: the film was based on a theme park ride at the children's resort.

"The sort of horizon has been broadened ever so slightly," said Depp. "We were able to put a few new things in. Bits and bobs."

Some observers drew comparison between Depp's performance as Jack Sparrow and Rolling Stones star Keith Richards.

The star confirmed that the rock and roll legend was in talks to have a role in the third film, which is currently in production.

"They are talking about it. Yeah, they are talking about it," he told AP television news.

The film, which also stars British actor Orlando Bloom, opens in the US on 7 July.

The most popular ride at Disneyland on Saturday afternoon was the red carpet for the "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" world premiere.

It was also the longest. The red carpet was more than 1,000 feet, unrolled straight down Main Street, snaking by Fantasyland and stopping at Adventureland. But for hundreds of international TV, radio and print reporters — not to mention several thousand fans — there to see "Pirates" stars Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, it was disappointing.

Fans had staked out their spots on the carpet since the park opened at 6:30 a.m. But by 6:30 p.m., only a few nonfamous guests had trickled in. Since the invite stressed "pirate garb," there were more eye patches, head bandanas, gold earrings, skulls and crossbones, puffy shirts and pirate hats — not to mention dark Jack Sparrow eyeliner — than you could shake a sword at.

At this point, the fans were hopeful and enthusiastic. There was a pre-party with grog and grub at the Blue Bayou and Café Orléans for the premiere guests. They would hop on the new "Pirates" ride that features characters from the film: Jack Sparrow, his nemesis Barbossa and the octopus-faced Davy Jones. Later, they would fill bleacher seats to view the film, projected on an outdoor screen around 9. But by 7:30, the fans were getting hungry and hoarse, and the press was turning surly.

"Is Johnny here?" reporters pestered the nervous Disney publicists. "Where's Keira?" "Has anyone seen Orlando?" "Will they talk to us?"

"They're here," one publicist promised. "Just be patient." So reporters started chatting up non-"Pirates" people to kill time. "Entourage" star Kevin Dillon said that wherever he goes, his fans scream, "Drama!" and "Viking Quest!"

Marilyn Manson — dressed not like a pirate but like Marilyn Manson — was also a hot interview once word spread down the line that he knows Depp. "He's my friend," he said. "He's a real pirate. I've got absinthe in my boots, and I'm a pirate too."

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed autographs, talked to a few TV reporters and tried to ignore the smattering of loud "boos" from the crowd. At 8:30, the "Pirates" actors started showing up.

"One question! We only have time for one question!" a Disney publicist warned reporters as Knightley was ushered over.

Told she looked comely in her white chiffon Chanel frock, she wrinkled her nose and looked horrified, "Comely? I look comely? That sounds a bit rude!"

Bloom's publicist pulled him past a pack of reporters. A TV reporter shouted the same question she'd asked everyone, "Who would you like to have a pirate adventure with?" Bloom grinned and shouted, "The giant squid!"

Reporters started to break ranks, as some climbed over the metal bars and walked down the carpet to talk with Depp, surrounded by Disney publicists and uniformed security guards.

"If you have movie tickets, go take your seats," warned a stern guard. "We're taking him in. The movie has to start!" It had become a red carpet mob scene. Reporters were begging with publicists. Cameras kept flashing. Fans were screaming. And suddenly, the guards around Depp started rushing their charge down the carpet.

In just a few minutes, it was all over. Depp was gone. After waiting six hours, most reporters left empty-handed. After waiting all day, most fans got only a split-second glimpse of Depp's fedora.

The only good news was that fans can see Depp on the new Pirates of the Caribbean ride. There are three amazingly life-like Jack Sparrows: one hiding at the dunking scene, another popping up from a barrel and the third counting his treasure.

If only they'd made one that signed autographs.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — While Nicole Kidman and Marcia Cross walked down wedding aisles this weekend, Keira Knightley looked bridal herself in a white gown and dangling diamond earrings at Saturday's world premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest at Disneyland. She took away the breath of thousands of patrons lined along the amusement park's red-carpet-covered Main Street U.S.A.

"I'm floating up the red carpet in a white Chanel number, which should (fare) well on Splash Mountain," Knightley joked. "Everyone said, 'You can't go on a ride in that dress,' and I said, 'I definitely can.' " Pirates opens July 7.

Co-star Orlando Bloom, who was joined later in the evening by girlfriend Kate Bosworth, said he encountered fans who began camping out at 6 a.m. to offer him a "pirate booty" of "hugs, kisses and gifts."

The event was a virtual redo of the 2003 Disneyland premiere for the first Pirates pic, with a few exceptions — notably the attendance this time of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and first lady Maria Shriver, close friends of the film's producer, Jerry Bruckheimer. Shriver shocked with an eye-popping T-shirt: Michelangelo's David, bedazzled with purple gems over the famed statue's privates.

Outside the park, guests passed picketers from the Caribbean, protesting the film's portrayal of their people as cannibals. "I love that," an unfazed Bruckheimer said. "But the movie's make-believe."

Star Johnny Depp made hundreds of fans happy by signing autographs for almost three hours. He then dashed down the carpet, waved to fans and boarded a pirate ship with his co-stars.
