I have attached a text version of first draft of Pirates of the Caribbean (which 
includes a month/day/year date), after typing it out over the past few months.  
 
And I would like to confirm that, yes, the draft that is currently online IS the 
first draft.  I have also brought this matter of the draft to (writer) Ted Elliott, 
and here are his thoughts about it:

The draft that is online appears to be our first draft. 
I just wanted to mention: under normal working conditions, we would not have turned 
in that draft. There are a number of things with which we weren't satisfied, and in 
a couple of instances, we actually already had better stuff in mind, but simply didn't 
have the time to make it work in the story (for instance: we knew we wanted to get 
Will and Jack into the cave before the rescue of Elizabeth, and we knew we wanted 
to do the Elizabeth blood sacrifice/"Waste not" thing -- we just didn't have a way 
to make it work). 

But in order to get the production underway in time for a summer '03 release, the 
studio needed a complete screenplay in order to begin budgeting and scheduling. 
So we gave 'em something we figured would be close enough to get started, knowing 
we were going to begin a second draft with Gore (Verbinski) immediately.

The draft that is attached is correctly formatted, free of typos, and is a bit more 
accurate (in format sense) than the other version that is already on the internet.
