Johnny Depp has succeeded in his attempts to get Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards on board the sequel to "Pirates Of The Caribbean" according to UK Yahoo (http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/041015/242/f4mt3.html).

Richards, the inspiration behind Depp's now legendary Captain Jack Sparrow character from the first, has agreed to play Sparrow's father in both of the hit movie's forthcoming sequels which will be shot simultaneously.

Richards has apparently already had a costume fitting in preparation for filming which is due to start at the end of February and could continue right through 'til the start of 2006.

Richards joins all the returning stars including Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Mackenzie Crook Geoffrey Rush (despite dying at the end of the first film) and director Gore Verbinski.

How appropriate!

I loved the first movie. I hope these sequels are equally fun. With Keef on board, I guess they should be!

Yeah, but what role do you give the dude? I mean, when's the last time you saw the credit 'walking cadaver' in a film? :D

I can't imagine a better role for Keef, to start his "new career".

I think casting Keef was a stroke of genius!

Johnny Depp used Keef's persona to develop his character for the (first) film (or so I have read). It worked, he was great!!

That way, they wouldn't need a Jolly Roger! It might even keep the seagulls away.

Jerry Seinfeld was approached for a role in the move, but when asked, allegedly whined, "but I don't wanna BE a pirate!"

(from the "Seinfeld" episode "The Puffy Shirt")
