Latest PIRATES wraps in Hawai’i

The latest in a long list of film and television programs to shoot on location in Hawai’i, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Disney, Summer 2011) finished shooting on Oahu this past week.  Aloha Today covered the wrap party. For a list of Current Productions being shot in Hawai’i see: the Hawaii Film Office.  James Cameron, for example, visited clear-cutting operations while shooting location backdrops for Avatar, as covered online by Blastr. Fan related tourism, for example 4×4 jeep tours to the Jurassic Park set, raise further questions about the socio-ecological impact of film production in Hawai’i.  Earlier this year, according to NPR, fans of Lost arrived on from around the world to attend the special  premier of the show’s final season.

Here’s the first Pirates 4 teaser,  prepared by Disney for Comic-Con.
