  `Pirates' life wears on director Gore Verbinski - The Boston Globe
Verbinski, 42, is careful not to complain, mind you.
Verbinski, however, insists ``Dead Man's Chest" is less about action than acting, with as much emphasis on storytelling as spectacle.
Verbinski, once best known for creating the Budweiser frogs, cast serious non-Hollywood actors not exactly known for their action-adventure chops.

  Exclusive: Pirates' Gore Verbinski - ComingSoon.net
Not only was Gore Verbinski up to that challenge, but he decided to make TWO sequels, shooting both Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and its follow-up, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, back-to-back.
Verbinski: No, we were on certain islands and locations, and we had certain assets, like boats and things, that we had to shoot out that occur in the third movie, so it's sort of randomly spread out.
Verbinski: I think [they have] a little more confidence, which is always useful when you're dealing with… a lot of aspects of the production required us to shoot things very quickly or change the schedule, and it's nice to have actors who are a little more confident.

 Gore Verbinski
Verbinski initially dabbled in short films and advertising, gaining fame as the creator of the famous Budweiser frogs.
Verbinski's second effort starred two of Hollywood's brightest stars; unfortunately, the presence of both Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts couldn't redeem the anemic, crime-tinted romantic comedy The Mexican, and the movie died a quick death at the box office, though its failure was due more to a weak screenplay than a lack of solid direction.
It was also the first film ever to premiere at Disneyland and the first official Disney feature to exceed a PG rating, and Verbinski soon agreed to make a pair of sequels to be produced simultaneously after he directed the Nicolas Cage drama The Weather Man in 2004.

Verbinski: Well, the weather is a character in the film and so is fast food, indeed, a character in the movie.
Verbinski: Well, I think that it's always good dramatically to have a character who is struggling against something or who is blind, who believes something or can't see - there's an obstacle internally.
Verbinski: Well, I mean, I knew we had a fun movie that was going to make it's money back, but the exponential factor was Johnny's performance and that character which they were so nervous about.

 SPLICEDwire | "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" review (2003) Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp, ...
Verbinski and Depp aren't terribly exciting in theirs, and sometimes they make reference to things that happened on the shoot without explaining to the listener.
Director Gore Verbinski ("The Ring") brings nail-biting excitement to the pirate raid, in which the Black Pearl's colorfully sinister crew seems to be unstoppable, even when shot or stabbed (most of which happens just out of frame because despite earning a PG-13 and having a grown-up wit, "Pirates" is really a sharp-witted kids' movie).
As the story unfolds, Verbinski gradually unveils the reason for this invulnerability: The crew has stolen the medallion and kidnapped the girl in an attempt to lift an Aztec hex that has left them in limbo between life and death.

Verbinski: We knew we needed somebody who could steal money from a little old lady, and you'd still like him; Johnny has that quality in spades.
Verbinski: You don't want to keep doing the same thing in fear of actually getting good at it.

June 28, 2006 - The last time we met up with Gore Verbinski he was promoting a film that was an admitted departure from the director of The Ring and Pirates of the Caribbean.
GORE VERBINSKI: Well, I worked with the writers before I started The Weather Man, so we had laid out certain parameters and certain plot points.

 Lycos Movies - Biography - Gore Verbinski
Well-versed in crafting stylish, glossy images and particularly adept at creating suspense, film director Gore Verbinski made short films and worked on award-winning advertising campaigns (he won four Clio awards and one Cannes advertising Silver Lion, and was best known for creating the Budweiser Frogs) before moving into features.
Verbinski then gained greater acclaim and exposure after venturing into thrillers with the suspenseful, popular and critically hailed "The Ring" in 2002, a film which solidified his future and made a true movie star out of Naomi Watts.
Continuing to demonstrate his versatility, Verbinski's next effort was a completely different kind of project: "The Weather Man" (2005) was a darkly comic, introspective study of a successful Chicago weather forecaster(Nicolas Cage) who struggles with his own mediocity and his failures to connect with the people who mean the most to him.

Verbinski manipule constamment les attentes du spectateur grâce à une bande sonore adéquate et à l’insertion de quelques scènes-chocs assez dérangeantes, provoquant beaucoup plus de sursauts que le Ringu de Nakata, à la structure très sobre.
Gore Verbinski's THE RING is the classic example of a film that is all style and very little, if any, substance.
Verbinski certainly knows how to make a creepy horror film: this film is laced with atmosphere and dread and gray skies.

 Gore Verbinski Noncommittal on Further Pirate Flicks - Cinematical
However, director Gore Verbinski isn't so sure he agrees with Depp on the value of more films.
You can read his full comments here; what it basically boils down to is simply that Verbinski is pretty pleased with what he's got right now, and he's not sure he wants to add anything more to it.
In any case, Verbinski would still be doing post-production right now, and would not yet have had time for a break from Pirates.

The idea for ROGUE’S GALLERY originated when Verbinski and Depp were working on their second film together, the upcoming Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
Verbinski then “described the project in detail to my old friend Brett Gurewitz (owner of Epitaph and Anti) who immediately understood its wondrous and strange potential.
Proud of what all of the artists have brought to the album, Verbinski says that the “recordings are vibrant, inspired, rough hewn, and imperfect in that way that only perfection achieves.”

 BBC - Films - interview - Gore Verbinski
Even if he'd never directed a movie, Gore Verbinski would still merit a place in modern cultural history as the creator of the Budweiser frogs.
Of course Gore (born Gregor) has done a lot more than that, ranging from the anarchic comedy of "MouseHunt" to the chilling horror of "The Ring".
He's not infallible though - "The Mexican" flopped despite Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts' combined star power - but he's currently back on course with swashbuckling adventure "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".

 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
I've liked almost everything Gore Verbinski's done up to this point--he's treated genre pictures with a degree of sobriety that's refreshing when snarky post-modernism seems the golden mean.
Everything stops, often and completely, in order for you to, along with the rest of the cast (including Depp), gape at the special effects--it's a mighty thing to ask that such a giant contraption stop itself and then lumber back to life every few scenes.
The chief insult is that you feel each of these 150 minutes, giving you plenty of time to consider that this is the first time Depp and Verbinski have consented to film a sequel and that the only shiver the picture offers your timbers is that next summer they'll do it all over again.

 SPLICEDwire | "The Ring" review (2002) Gore Verbinski, Naomi Watts
The other girl turns white as a sheet, not because the story scares her, but because she's actually seen the tape -- seven days before.
What follows is an chilling five minutes of eerie goings-on in which director Gore Verbinski ("The Mexican") skillfully winds the audience up like a jack-in-the-box, then sets us jumping at his pleasure with the simplest scare-movie tricks.
The picture doesn't get really stupid, however, until its twist ending that leaves two characters in an alleged dilemma that would be so easy to circumvent it's hard to not feel insulted when the credits roll.
