pirates of the caribbean - Cannes International Film Festival

A six-time Tony Award nominee and George Abbott Award winner, Marshall co-directed
and choreographed the worldwide award-winning production of “Cabaret” and directed
and choreographed the Broadway revival of “Little Me,” starring Martin Short. He made
his Broadway choreographic debut with “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” directed by Harold
Prince, which also played London’s West End and Vienna. He followed that with
productions of “She Loves Me” in Broadway and London; “Damn Yankees” on
Broadway, the National Tour and London; Blake Edwards’ “Victor/Victoria” on
Broadway; “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” on Broadway;
“Company” on Broadway; and “The Petrified Forest” at the New York Public Theatre,
and “Promises, Promises” for City Center Encores!
Additional choreography credits include the feature film “The Cradle Will Rock,” the
Disney/ABC movie musical “Cinderella” (Emmy nomination), the CBS movie musical
“Mrs. Santa Clause” (Emmy nomination), and The Kennedy Center Honors (Kander &
Ebb and Chita Rivera tributes).
Marshall holds a BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University.
JERRY BRUCKHEIMER (Producer) has for nearly 40 years produced films and television
programs of distinction and quality, in the process becoming the most successful
producer of all time in both mediums. His productions, with the familiar lightning bolt
logo, have not only delighted audiences all over the world, but greatly impacted popular
culture over the decades.
Bruckheimer’s films have earned worldwide revenues of over $15 billion in box office,
video and recording receipts. In the 2005-6 season he had a record-breaking 10 series
on network television, a feat unprecedented in nearly 60 years of television history. His
films (16 of which exceeded the $100 million mark in U.S. box office receipts) and
television programs have been acknowledged with 41 Academy Award® nominations,
six Oscars®, eight Grammy Award® nominations, five Grammys, 23 Golden Globe®
nominations, four Golden Globes, 97 Emmy Award® nominations, 20 Emmys, 26
People’s Choice Awards nominations, 15 People’s Choice Awards, 12 BAFTA
nominations, two BAFTA Awards, numerous MTV Awards, including one for Best Picture
of the Decade for “Beverly Hills Cop” and 20 Teen Choice Awards.
But the numbers exist only because of Bruckheimer’s uncanny ability to find the stories
and tell them on film. He is, according to the Washington Post, “the man with the
golden gut.” He may have been born that way, but more likely, his natural gifts were
polished to laser focus in the early years of his career. His first films were the 60-second
tales he told as an award-winning commercial producer in his native Detroit. One of
those mini-films, a parody of “Bonnie and Clyde” created for Pontiac, was noted for its
brilliance in Time Magazine and brought the 23-year-old producer to the attention of
world-renowned ad agency BBD&O, which lured him to New York.
