Pirates 2 (Dead Man's Chest) Preview Online

The action-packed new preview for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is now online over at Yahoo! Movies.

The trailer, which hints at a more deliberately Depp-centered film, reveals that Jack Sparrow is a marked man, owing his soul to the legendary Davy Jones. It looks like filmmakers have upped the action considerably for the second installment.

So far we know that Dead Man's Chest tells what happens when it comes time for Captain Jack to repay a debt he owes to the Davy Jones, ruler of the ocean depths and captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. If he's unable to pay, he'll be cursed to eternal damnation. As you might expect, Captain Jack's problems complicate the wedding plans of the blissful Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who quickly find themselves thrust back into Jack's misadventures.

Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush are all back for the sequel. They're joined by Stellan Skarsgard, Naomie Harris and Bill Nighy.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest hits theaters on July 7.

Square Enix Unveils The Next Generation of Final Fantasy

Today, during its E3 2006 press event, Square Enix, Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan, Square Enix), a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software and service, revealed world-premiere footage of FABULA NOVA CRYSTALLIS™ - FINAL FANTASY® XIII.

Currently, development for FABULA NOVA CRYSTALLIS entails two titles for the PlayStation 3 system: FINAL FANTASY XIII and FINAL FANTASY Versus XIII. In addition, FINAL FANTASY Agito XIII is also in development for mobile phones. However, the three new titles are only the beginning of the evolution of FABULA NOVA CRYSTALLIS, with more announcements regarding other facets of the project scheduled for the near future.

One myth, countless stories. This is the concept behind Square Enix's groundbreaking new take on entertainment.
