Zombie Concept Art for “Pirates of the Caribbean”… Awesome!
Mar19
Check out the awesome concept art for the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” movie. Nice!
I don’t know why the zombies have their mouths stitched shut… Seams uncomfortable, but does make them look pretty creepy.
I liked this poster for “On Stranger Tides” ’cause…. you know… Penelope Cruz is pretty (Don’t you judge me).
Got these from IGN’s website. Check them out for more information.
Isn’t the eyes and mouth being stitched a burial custom in some places? Though most zombie movies don’t involve those who get a proper funeral except a few that start with grave yard sleepers coming to life. In our state they require embalming, but also a concrete vault around casket in some places. There is no way anything is clawing its way out of that. Very forward thinking. They say something about ground water blah blah, but we all know it’s to make sure what gets buried stays put.
I’m pretty sure it’s also so that morticians can charge you more as well. We buried my step-dad in November. It was amazing how many ways you get screwed over trying to have a funeral.
Those Morticians better be preventing the zombie apocalypse, either that or they way overcharging people and should be shot.
Considering that zombies don’t talk, or feel pain, the sewn-up mouths are not an issue for them. However, pirates had a habit of sewing the mouth shut of anyone they killed who knew a secret about them, so the dead man wouldn’t tell the secret in the afterlife. Another possible reason for the sewn-shut mouths (although irrelevant in this case) was necromancers who wanted their zombies to be able to pass for a person for a longer period of time (obviously from a distance). Jaws dropping off happens relatively quickly in the decomposition process, but if the mouth is sewn shut, that is delayed.
Here’s a third possible reason. Those zombies are overweight and taking drastic measures to lose weight. It’s the zombie equivalent to having your stomach stapled.
