Production of the two back-to-back sequels of Pirates Of The Caribbean has been dogged by a spate of real-life thievery, according to reports from the set in the Bahamas.
Producers working for Disney on the swashbuckling Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp future blockbusters, revealed that two cast members have been forced to leave the set in fear of their lives, after four heists in a month. The last robbery on November 11th saw the brazen thieves make off with $20,000 in cash and equipment. Jason Kakebeen, head of location production, says, "We've had a slew of robberies on the actors who are working for Pirates of the Caribbean over at the Port Lucaya resort. They (the robbers) were able to get into the room with a key and stole everything from laptops, passports, checks, and other equipment. The money they stole was actually the actors' paychecks."
Kakebeen admits that filming has come to a standstill while the crimes are being investigated, but would not reveal the identity of the stars targeted, who have since left the shoot. |
