"All of the things we could not do in Pirates 2, we are gonna do in Pirates 3. There were not a lot of ship to ship battles in the second film and we are gonna change that."
He went on to say that "Characters in Daveys crew... some of the guys who were not featured will be getting some close-ups." It also appears that now that they have done Davey Jones once, making him in this movie is going to be a lot easier. "We do not have to figure out the process anymore. Animating and lighting him... is no longer a time consuming process."
Knoll was then asked if Davey Jones could be improved. "I think we did a pretty good job."
Knoll said that that he looks at Pirates 3 as an opportunity. "Since these characters are in 3D, animated all the way through, we thought we could better the performance to something close to motion capture quality. The goal was to make it easier."
How about there being new characters in the third installment?
"I cannot say antyhing specific. The same imagination from the other films is still present." It had long been thought that mermaids might make an appearance in the new film. "No," Knoll laughed. "You will have to talk to the writers about that."
