Security firm suggests Windows users switch to Macs 429

Try less than two.

Screenwriter Terry Rossio has just posted the following update on the progress of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 at Wordplayer.com "Ideally, it would go like this: approval of the stories that have been designed over the past four months would come sometime this week, along with the conclusion of extensive and complex negotiations will the principal filmmakers -- for two movies, to be shot back to back, a huge commitment of time, money, and resources.

The screenplay(s) would then be written over the next 8-10 weeks (hah!) which takes us into July. Based on the screenplays (which will continue to be revised) the preproduction on these two movies would take place, which includes location scouting, set design, building ships, negotiations with different countries, casting, special effects tests, and a million othe r things.

If all goes well, principle photography would begin sometime early next year, and proceed for nine months (seems like a long time but we're talking two movies here, which is only 4 and a 1-2 months per movie) We're talking shooting on the water, action, costumes, and shooting for effects, all commonly time consuming stuff. "

IOW, the production didn't begin until sometime 8-10 weeks after May 11, 2004. And since Shake is only used to work on things that have been shot, we should actually look at principle photography, which the screenwriter was quoted as saying would begin sometime in early 2005.

Actually, you're wrong again (and all of a sudden, using the word "support" to mean "sales").

"In addition to OS X, Apple will continue to develop, support and sell Shake on Irix and Linux through the end of 2003, but the upcoming Shake 2.5 will be the last version we release on Windows."

Shake 3 was released in June of 2003. So they stopped selling the Windows version one and a half years before principle photography even began on Pirates of the Carribean 2.
