Zoe Saldaña Emotional After 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Producer's Apology: 'That Really Moved Me'
Actress Zoe Saldaña receives closure from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" producer after detailing a bad experience during her time on set.
Zoe Saldaña has starred in multiple fantasy and sci-fi films including "Avatar", "Star Trek", and "Guardians of the Galaxy". However, she rose to prominence for her role as Anamaria in "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.
Bad Experience on 'Pirates of the Caribbean'?
Zoe Saldaña's time on "Pirates of the Caribbean" marked her first exposure to making a film on such a large scale. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 44-year-old star remembers her time on set as a not-so-positive experience.
"We were shooting in different locations, and the environments were not that agreeable, sometimes, to our shoot days. I was very young, and it was just a little too big for me, and the pace of it was a little too fast." Zoe said. "I walked away not really having a good experience from it overall. I felt like I was lost in the trenches of it a great deal, and I just didn't feel like that was okay."
The overwhelming experience led Saldaña to not reprise her role for future installments of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Despite narrating her experience on the pirate-film franchise in a bad light, Zoe went on to disclose that she had met up with producer Jerry Bruckheimer years after, who had heard about her feelings about the film and proceeded to apologize for her bad experience.
"Years later, I was able to meet with Jerry Bruckheimer, who apologized that I had that experience cause he really wants everyone to have a good experience on his projects," Zoe Saldaña explained to EW. "That really moved me - the fact that he remembered that I had mentioned that during press, I guess, or an engagement I had done years before and that he felt compelled to bring it up and to take accountability."
Since her time in the pirates' film franchise, Zoe Saldaña has garnered numerous accolades throughout the course of her acting career, including the 2010 Empire awards where she won "Best Actress" for her role in "Avatar".
