Jumping Jack News Flash! Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp's pirate counterpart from Disney's immensely successful Pirates of the Carribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl film, will be joined by his swashbuckling father in the film's two planned sequels by none-other than the Rolling Stones' flamboyant guitar virtuoso, the esteemed Mr. Keith Richards.
After much reluctance, Richards signed on for four guaranteed days of shooting in great part from Depp's pleading persistence, as Depp told the press he modeled his character's style and attitude on Richards while promoting Pirates. Explained Depp, "I sort of thought that pirates would be the rock and roll stars of the 18th century. And the greatest rock 'n' roll star of all time is Keith Richards. Hands down."
The two sequels are set to shoot back-to-back beginning in February, the first of which will be titled Pirates of the Caribbean: Treasures of the Lost Abyss.
