When writing the screenplay for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio envisioned Jack Sparrow as a supporting character, citing Bugs Bunny and Groucho Marx as influences. The producers saw him as a young Burt Lancaster. Director Gore Verbinski admitted, “The first film was a movie, and then Jack was put into it almost. He doesn’t have the obligations of the plot in the same ways that the other characters have. He meanders his way through, and he kind of affects everybody else.” Sparrow represents an ethical pirate, with Captain Barbossa as his corrupt foil. His true motives usually remain masked, and whether he is honorable or evil depends on the audience’s perspective. This acts as part of Will Turner’s arc, in which Sparrow tells him a pirate can be a good man, like his father.

Following the success of The Curse of the Black Pearl, the challenge to creating a sequel was, according to Verbinski, “You don’t want just the Jack Sparrow movie. It’s like having a garlic milkshake. He’s the spice and you need a lot of straight men….Let’s not give them too much Jack. It’s like too much dessert or too much of a good thing.” Although Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest’s was written to propel the trilogy’s plot, Sparrow’s state-of-mind as he is pursued by Davy Jones becomes increasingly edgy, and the writers concocted the cannibal sequence to show that he was in danger whether on land or at sea. Sparrow is also perplexed over his attraction to Elizabeth Swann, and attempts to justify it throughout the film
Outside films, Jack Sparrow first appeared as a companion character in the 2005 video game Kingdom Hearts II, where he was voiced by James Arnold Taylor in the English version and Hiroaki Hirata in the Japanese version. Sparrow has since appeared in other video games, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow where he was voiced by Johnny Depp, the adaptation of Dead Man’s Chest and various game versions of At World’s End, where he was voiced by Jared Butler with motion capture movements provided by Johnny Paton. The character was also voiced by Jared Butler in Pirates of the Caribbean Online, which takes place before the films.
Sparrow’s backstory in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Complete Visual Guide indicates he was born on a pirate ship during a typhoon in the Indian Ocean, and that he was trained to fence by an Italian.[5] Rob Kidd wrote an ongoing book series entitled Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow, following a teenage Sparrow and his crew on the Barnacle as they battle sirens, mermaids and adult pirates while looking for various treasures. The first book, The Coming Storm, was published on June 1, 2006. On the website for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, it is explained that Sparrow once worked for the East India Trading Company and captained the Wicked Wench.

At the Brethren Court, she is elected “Pirate King” after Sparrow breaks a stalemate (in all previous meetings, Pirate Lords had always voted for themselves). During parley, he is traded for Will, who was captured by Jones and Beckett after Jack sent him overboard on the Black Pearl. The Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman face off in battle during a maelstrom created by Calypso, Sparrow steals Davy Jones’s heart to become immortal, but when Jones mortally wounds Will, Sparrow instead helps Will stab the heart, killing Jones and making Will the Flying Dutchman’s new captain. Together, the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman destroy Beckett’s ship.
At the end of the film Barbossa again commandeers the Black Pearl and Feng’s charts, stranding Sparrow in Tortuga. Fortunately, Sparrow has already removed the chart’s center, and he sets sail in a dinghy, using his compass and the chart to guide him to the Fountain of Youth.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007), opens with Davy Jones’s heart now in Beckett’s possession, and the nine pirate lords of the Brethren Court are summoned to convene at Shipwreck Cove to combat the combined threat of Beckett and Jones. Though taken to Davy Jones’s Locker at the end of the previous film, Sparrow, who is the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, must attend the meeting, as he failed to bequeath his “piece of eight”, a pirate lord’s identification marker, to an heir. The collective “pieces of eight” can free the sea goddess Calypso. A resurrected Barbossa leads Sparrow’s crew to Davy Jones’s Locker using the Singaporean pirate lord Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat)’s navigational charts. There Sparrow has been hallucinating an entire crew of himself, each member representing a facet of his personality.
After Barbossa and the crew find him, Sparrow deciphers a clue on the charts that indicates they must capsize the Black Pearl to escape the Locker; at sunset, the ship upturns back into the living world. Sparrow and Barbossa journey to the Brethren Court where they encounter Elizabeth, who was traded to Sao Feng, and was made a Pirate Lord by him just before he died.

In the sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006), Sparrow searches for the Dead Man’s Chest, which will help him to “control” the seas and save himself: thirteen years earlier, Sparrow bartered his soul to Captain Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) in return for Jones raising the sunken Black Pearl and making Sparrow captain. In the film, Sparrow must either serve for one hundred years aboard the Flying Dutchman, or be taken by the Kraken to Davy Jones’s Locker. The Dead Man’s Chest contains Jones’s heart, which Sparrow can use as leverage against Jones and end his debt. Adding to Sparrow’s woes, Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) of the East India Trading Company wants to settle his own debt with Sparrow and forces Will Turner to search for him. Will finds Sparrow and his crew hiding from the Kraken on Pelegosto where they have been captured by cannibals. They escape, but Sparrow betrays Will to Davy Jones as part of a new deal to deliver 100 souls in exchange for his own. Sparrow recruits sailors in Tortuga where he unexpectedly encounters Elizabeth and the disgraced James Norrington. Convincing Elizabeth she can free Will by finding the Chest, they head for Isla Cruces after she pinpoints its location with Jack’s magic compass. Will also arrives, having escaped Jones’s ship after stealing the key to the Chest. Will wants to stab the heart and free his father who is in Jones’s service, while Norrington- who has discovered Lord Cutler Beckett desires the heart in order to control Davy Jones and the seas- hopes to regain his career by delivering the heart to Beckett.
Sparrow fears if Jones is dead, the Kraken will continue hunting him. Jones’s crew arrives, and during the ensuing battle, Norrington steals the heart. Jones summons the Kraken to attack the Black Pearl. Realizing that the Kraken only wants Sparrow, Elizabeth tricks him by giving him a passionate kiss while chaining him to the mast to save the crew; Sparrow and the ship are dragged down to Davy Jones’s Locker.
Sparrow is the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea and can be treacherous, surviving mostly by using wit and negotiation rather than weapons and force; although he will fight if necessary, he tries to flee most dangerous situations. Sparrow is introduced seeking to regain his ship the Black Pearl from his mutinous first mate Hector Barbossa in the first film, and in the sequels, attempts to escape his blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones while battling the East India Trading Co.

That night, a ghost ship, the Black Pearl attacks Port Royal, capturing Elizabeth in the process.

Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), a blacksmith who loves Elizabeth, frees Sparrow to aid him in rescuing her. They steal the HMS Interceptor and acquire a crew in Tortuga before heading to Isla de Muerta, where Elizabeth is being held captive.
They are quickly captured, and Barbossa maroons Sparrow and Elizabeth on a deserted island.

Alice and Wonderland costume ideas include many interesting and colorful characters like the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen and the Cheshire Cat. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the March Hare (also called the White Rabbit) and the Caterpillar are also characters from Alice in Wonderland but they are not as popular as the other character costumes.
Which ever costume you decide upon they are all fun to dress up in. Alice comes in a sweet style, a sexy style and an evil style, so take your pick. What mood are you in? If you are feeling sweet as can be choose the sweet style. If you are feeling disagreeable choose the evil Alice and if you are feeling grown up pick the sexy outfit. They all make a fun Alice dress up experience for the wearer. There are also lots of fun costume accessories you can pick from to complete your costume or you can add your own creative touches to these costumes from online costume stores.
The Mad Hatter Costume is as popular, or even more so, than the Alice costume. The Mad Hatter comes in several versions as well. There is a funny one, an evil one and several rather dashing and fancy costumes for you to choose from. There are men's and women's Mad Hatter costumes as well. The ladies can dress up as the Hatter and still have several costume styles to choose from. It's a fun role and character to play. Take some tips from the Tim Burton movie starring Johnny Depp.
The ever-smiling Cheshire Cat costume is pretty and pink and cute as can be. This cat costume comes in girls, teenage and women's sizes and like the other Alice and Wonderland costume ideas you can pick from several different styles depending on your taste and your mood.
The Red Queen or Queen of Hearts costume is the movies wicked character. And that means it is a fun persona to adopt for Halloween. It's fun to act the part of the "bad guy" and if you want to try, this is the costume. In costume language, bad and evil equal fun!
In this Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland the evil Red Queen must be dethroned and rule must be restored to the rightful ruler of Underland (Wonderland's true name), the White Queen. Alice makes all this happen and then she returns home from her adventures. Will she ever be back again? We don't know. But we do know that the Alice and Wonderland costume ideas this fun Tim Burton movie gave us will be popular for years to come.
James Cameron's sci-fi epic, "Avatar" has been considered a phenomenon. Although no official "Avatar" costumes have been released yet, you can still put together your own look with makeup, a wig and some accessories to become one of the Na'vi. This makeup will be for Neytiri, but you can modify it to resemble any of the characters you may want to dress as. One thing to remember. Doing good makeup is more than just slapping on several coats of blue face paint. Take your time and this can look really good!
Putting together your Neytiri Avatar Na'vi costume and makeup
Step 1: Pick up a pair of elf ears. Paint them with a coat of blue acrylic paint that will match your makeup scheme. When they're dry, apply a lighter shade of blue (could be the same blue mixed with white) in "stripes" across the ear in a zebra-like pattern.
Step 2: Allow the ears to dry since you will be applying them near the front of your temples/forehead with spirit gum or appliance putty. Wash and dry your face thoroughly so the ears stick. Use the photo of one of the Na'vi to get an idea of where they will sit on your head and then glue 'em on!
Step 3: Wash your hands and put in a pair of yellow contacts. You can purchase these online or at specialty stores. If you're not a wearer of contacts, have a friend help you put them in... Just wash your hands first! Any dust, stray hairs or debris on those babies will make your eyes water and makeup run later on.
Step 4: This step is completely optional depending on how hardcore you want to take your makeup. The Na'vi don't have eyebrows. While you could just paint your makeup on over them, if you don't have prosthetic appliances to cover them, a neat trick is to take a giant glue stick (or the spirit gum) and go over your eyebrows with it, rubbing the stick in the opposite direction of eyebrow growth. Let it dry and then do it one or two more times (depending on how thick your brows are). With your brows flat against your skin with a layer of "glue skin" over them, you can have a nice, flat surface to apply the makeup with, without worrying about any facial hair peeking through.
Step 5: Apply blue cream makeup in thin layers to your face, neck and chest. You can also blend some of the makeup up and around your Elf Ears on your forehead/temples, so long as they're dry to get a smoother look. If you feel like you need more "blue" coverage, apply another thin layer. It stays on better to do it in stages and doesn't look like you just glopped it on.
Step 6: Mix together some white cream makeup with the blue to create a lighter shade. Use one of your paint brushes or makeup brushes to apply it in thin stripes, concentrated mostly at the temples of your face, then drawing it outward in thin stripes.
Step 7: To give the broad, alien/cat like nose that the Na'vi have, take the lighter shade of blue and paint directly down in a straight line from the inner corner of your eye to outer edge of your nose. Blend it with the brush. Repeat on your other eye/nose area. Then, take the light blue mixture and paint a stripe down the center of your nose, blending a bit for a "highlighted" effect.
Step 8: Add the lighter blue makeup around your eyes and blend with the darker shade. Then do some "zebra stripes" with the light blue on your forehead, extending up from the bridge of your nose.
Step 9: Take a skinny paintbrush or makeup brush and dip it in the plain white cream makeup. Dot it along your forehead and cheeks below your eyes to create the "freckles" the Na'vi sport.
Step 10: Wait for your makeup to dry. Put on a braided wig with or without beads... OR, if you really want to go nuts, get your own long brown wig and braid it with your own beads and feathers for a customized touch. However, a Beaded wig can do the trick just as well. Be careful that you don't hit your ears with it and knock them off! (As a test-run beforehand, try on the wig and see where you want your ears to be so they're very visible and not hidden by the wig.)
Step 11: Put on a blue bodysuit, or, if you can't find one, go to a dance store or outlet store and pick up a nude colored bodysuit and dye it with RIT dye. You can pick up RIT dye at a fabric store, or sometimes a drug store. Follow the directions on the packet to dye your white or nude colored bodysuit blue. You can add a striped/tyedye effect once your suit is dry and then go for a SECOND round of RIT dye after you tie the sleeves, legs, and body part with rubber bands. The dye won't take on the banded areas and you get instant stripe-effects on the body like the Na'vi have.
Step 12: Put on a brown bikini or any outfit you want to dress like the Na'vi of your choice. Decorate your arms with faux leather bands or strips of braided brown fabric. Dangle beads and/or feathers from them for effect.
Step 13: It's a lot of preparation, but much more simple than you would think to look like Nytiri or your other favorite Avatar Na'vi! Good luck!
