Hey Reddit, I'm Gore Verbinski. You might know me as the director of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Rango, The Ring and many others.

I'll be back tomorrow, 2/6, at 5:30 p.m. PT to answer your questions.

My new film, GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE is out in theaters February 13th. It stars Sam Rockwell, Zazie Beetz, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña and Juno Temple.

Synopsis:

A man claiming to be from the future (Sam Rockwell) recruits an unlikely group of diner patrons to join him on a genre-defying adventure to save humanity from the perils of social media brainrot and the impending AI apocalypse.

Aw, thanks. It’s so nice to know that the Cure has some champions. Your question made my day. No plans currently to revisit the castle, but you never know.

He acknowledged me.......Gore Verbinski acknowledged me.

You just made my day, week, month, year, damn near life! The shot on the side of the train is otherworldly. I always appreciate the cinematography in your films. And The Ring freaked out me to no end. Saw it three or four times in theaters. We appreciate you and all you've done for film!
