Now listen again with the script.
The film Pirates of the Caribbean made $650,000,000. Although it was very popular, the film’s biggest fan of all was probably Nick Francini. After first watching the film when he was twelve, Nick spent the next seven years trying to make his own version. Everyone loved Nick’s film and even Johnny Depp has seen it!
Nick played the hero, Jack Sparrow. He used his uncle’s fishing boat as the pirate ship. Two friends helped Nick, but things didn’t always go smoothly. The three boys didn’t always agree, and sometimes they shouted at each other. Nick finally finished the project when he left school. By the end of the film, Nick was fifteen centimetres taller than he was at the beginning.
