Before you get too excited, let me say that the leaked script is only the first fifty pages and is from an earlier draft.
Pirates of the Caribbean: 3 Script
Though there has been no official confirmation on the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 script to surface over on a MySpace Blog, I have now seen a few trustworthy fansites claim that it is the real deal. However, don't expect everything you read to appear next summer, as this script is supposedly a really early draft.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 1
EXT. SINGAPORE HARBOR - WHARF - NIGHT
Asian junks jammed into raised, crisscrossing docks. Weird shadows cast by hanging lamps.
Amid the pylons, ELIZABETH SWANN pilots a small boat with a long pole. She moves through the maze of ropes, stairways, rafts and skiffs. It's Singapore harbor, a place of danger and decadence, mystery and magic.
Elizabeth sings softly and very slowly
ELIZABETH
(singing)
Came all ye young fellers that follows the sea
She waits, listening.
Silence.
Again she sings --
ELIZABETH
(CONT'D)
Came all ye young fellers that follows the sea
A VOICE IN THE DARK answers, completes the line
MAN(O.S)
(singing).
To my way haye, blow the man down
Elizabeth changes course, toward the voice. The singer is an ASIAN MAN crouched on a platform. Cleaning fish, guts up to his elbows. He raises his eyes to Elizabeth. Points.
Elizabeth pushes off in that direction. Sings the next line --
If this turns out to be true that would mean that every Pirates film began with some sort of pirate song.

FYI: Just about every fansite/movie site out there has assumed that Pirates of the Caribbean 3 will be titled At World's End. We have even posted a few reports suggesting it. Disney, however, doesn't seem to dig the title circulating and now promise that we will know the 'real' title within the next month or two.
