Ian McShane Joins Disney in Reveal of LEGO Captain Jack Sparrow Life-Size
Statue
Earlier this evening, Disney Consumer Products debuted new lines of toys from
LEGO and JAKKS Pacific for this summer’s blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean
4: On Stranger Tides. Highlights of the event included appearances by
production designer John Myhre and Ian McShane who takes on the role of
Blackbeard, the pirate all pirates fear.
As part of the event, Disney and LEGO unveiled a six foot tall ‘life-size’
statue of Captain Jack Sparrow, the first of its kind. The highly detailed
statue, which includes a removable sword, consists of approximately 150,000 LEGO
bricks and took more than 200 man hours to design and build. Approximately 70 of
those hours alone were used in the creation of Jack’s head which was all done
without the assistance of computers.
Also taking place during the event, Ian McShane was presented with his very own
one-off custom Blackbeard transforming pirate which reveals the pirate’s curse
when placed under blacklight. Production designer John Myhre, who talked at
length about the fiery and skeletal details of the Queen Anne’s Revenge and
Blackbeard himself, received a limited edition print of the ship from Acme
Archives.
Attendees also got a preview of the LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean video game
after viewing the trailer for the film.
