Gore Verbinski in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Working in a wide range of budgets with many of today’s top talents, GORE VERBINSKI (Director) is considered one of the top visionary directors of his generation. With only five feature films to his credit thus far, Verbinski’s box-office success totals over $1 billion worldwide.
“The Weather Man,” Verbinski’s fifth movie, starred Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Hope Davis and Gil Bellows. Previously, Verbinski directed the immensely successful “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” starring Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. Released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2003, the film went on to become one of the top-grossing films of the year and earned Depp an Oscar® nomination for his performance. Prior to this swashbuckling adventure, Verbinski directed the chilling horror film “The Ring,” starring Naomi Watts, raising the bar for fans of the genre around the world. “The Ring” grossed nearly $130 million domestically and helped to make Naomi Watts a household name. Always enigmatic in his choices and willing to cross genres, “The Weather Man” represents Verbinski’s first foray into drama.
Prior to embarking into the world of features, Verbinski was an award-winning commercial director. The UCLA graduate also cut his teeth extensively in directing high-profile music videos for such cuttingedge artists as Bad Religion and The Crystal Method.
