ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Johnny Depp joined about 1,500 guests at Disneyland for the premiere of his new action adventure film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
"This is surreal," Depp said as he arrived on a 270-metre-long red carpet Saturday to the screams of fans. He was joined by producer Jerry Bruckheimer and co-stars Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush and Keira Knightly.
The movie is named after Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean water ride and the premiere was the first ever held at the theme park.
"This is where the idea of the movie originated, this is where the inspiration came from and this was the right place for the premiere," said Richard Cook, chairman of Walt Disney Studios.
The film was shown on a giant screen on Tom Sawyer Island.
Olympic ice skating champion Michelle Kwan, comedian Tommy Smothers and former TV child star Danny Bonaduce also attended the premiere.
The movie opens countrywide July 9.
