POTC 3 Hawaii Filming Info
From molokaitimes.com: When Pirates of the Caribbean
III: At Worlds End is released in theatres this upcoming May, Molokai residents
will recognize some familiar shores. Filming is currently taking place at
Pohauku Mauliuli Beach (Make Horse), with its towering cliff as a backdrop.
The cast- including Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly - are staying at
Paniolo Hale. A lighting technician described the filming taking place as a "big
love scene" between their characters- Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann.
Although crew members spent several days on the beach constructing the
set, the major Hollywood celebrities flew in the morning of Tuesday, January 9. As the sun set on Tuesday January 9, a group of about fifty individuals gathered
at the 10th hole of the Kaluakoi Golf Course. To their delight, Orlando Bloom
crossed the course while driving a golf cart, clad in a maroon pirate shirt and
a green cap. "It was so romantic- he blew me a kiss!" said Kelly Forsberg after
Bloom passed by.
