Movie cast helps craft 'Pirates' game

The developer of movie tie-in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End has enjoyed unprecedented access to the movie cast and crew during its creation, Disney has revealed.

Due for release May 25, the game is expected to be a runaway success when it becomes available for DS, PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360.

The developer worked closely with movie director Gore Verbinski and his team to ensure the movie world was successfully transferred to video game, while screenwriter Terry Rossio, who has worked on all three Pirates movies, contributed to the game's narrative.

Many of the cast also provided likenesses and they spent time in recording studios to record new dialogue for the game in Los Angeles, Germany, South Afrida and Hungary.

Nick Bridger, senior producer at Disney Interactive Studios said: "Of all the studios and filmmakers I've worked with over the years, Gore's team has really been exceptional to us by offering unprecedented access to all of the films' materials and sets and allowing us to really get on and explore the 'Pirates' universe in a lot more detail."
