“Pirates of the Caribbean 4″ to be Filmed in Hawaii
The mayor of Hawaii sent out a press release announcing that “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” will be filmed this summer in Hawaii, on the islands of Kauai and Oahu.
Walt Disney Company president and CEO Bob Iger met with Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle last Friday to share news of Walt Disney Pictures’ intention of filming a presumably large portion of On Stranger Tides in the Islands. The production is expected to generate an estimated $85 million in total spending while in Hawaii. Disney had previously shot brief scenes for the series’ third film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End on Maui and Molokai in 2006.
Said Bruckheimer, in a statement, “We’ve always sought out the most extraordinary and exotic locations for the Pirates of the Caribbean films. … Hawaii provides an amazing range of both land and seascapes, and we’re delighted to return for On Stranger Tides.”

I would hope they cast some local Hawaiians for extras at least to give us hope to be in movies.. living on these islands. So many use Hawaii as a backdrop for adventure and romance.. but Hawaiians are at the bottom of the food chain with lands, women, blood and image stolen by greedy pirates from America.
