Keith Richards as Capt. Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) Father?

[xultar]

Poll question: Keith Richards as Capt. Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) Father?

Yes you heard right.
In Pirates of the Caribbean 2 they are trying to get Keith Richards to play Capt. Sparrow's father.


How do y'all feel about that?

1. oh yeah, but then maybe just a bit too real

don't think he's ever been asked to lend his photogenic talents to a motion picture before. Acting ability?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

2. I heard that not only are they filming Part II...

...they are going to shoot footage with an eye toward having Part III in the can, too.



:toast:

[hippiechick]

4. He certainly looks like a dead pirate ....

:scared:

[xultar]

8. The similarity is uncanny!

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. You are correct. My brother is currently working on that film.

:hi:

[LynzM]

21. Your brother doesn't happen to want to give tours, does he?

:bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. He's usually a few steps ahead of the filming.

Doing location scout...otherwise I'd be posting from where ever he was. :hi:

[LynzM]

23. LOL

Sweet, then he can tell us where to camp out, right? ;) :rofl:

Just teasin'... the movie industry has always fascinated me!

[LynzM]

3. I think it will be funny!

But maybe a little awkward for Johnny Depp... can you imagine modeling a character after someone and then having to play that character around that person!?

6. Johnny and Keith are friends

JD's trying to talk him into it!

And yes they are filming parts II and III back to back. Peter Jackson really started something with LOTR.

[LynzM]

11. Sweet....

I hope JD can convince him, then! I'm so excited to see the next ones... it's not often I really get into a series, but I loved pirates. Funny, witty, and hot men (and woman!), to boot. Good stuff!

[Salviati]

5. Other - Yarrrgh!

[Kahuna]

7. It works for me. If Keith won't do it, then Mick would be good too..

I love the Stones!!! :bounce: Anything they do is alright with me. :bounce:

[Kire]

9. It's the only logical first choice.

I'd be excited if he accepts.

[DS1]

10. I say "Hey, go for it, you only live twice"

:D

[bridgit]

12. should be fun...

[MnFats]

13. Depp modeled his character on Keith. A fucked up Keith.

this could be the coolest thing ever.
Gotta love Keith.
As he's said, he'll probably be around to sit on our tombstones and swill some scotch....

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. My brother is working on that film and Keith Richards has said that

he will do it. :hi:

[tjdee]

16. Yeah, I thought that was way old news. And a question:

Do you know WHAT they're going to give Keira Knightley to do in these films now? Or does anyone else, LOL?

I can't imagine what purpose she serves--is she going to sit home while they're on adventures (pretty please) or is she now going to be the "girl pirate" (no no no no)??

I can't stand her pouting and her 'acting'....ugh. Her character is really quite useless at this point, and as usual, Hollywood will force it.

[supernova]

17. Yay!!!

Thanks Mrs Grumpy!

Last time I read about this there was some question about Keith being about to fit it in around the Stones tour, but I guess they got that resolved. Yay! :bounce: :D

edit: What does your brother do, Mrs Grumpy? Just curious.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. He's a location manager. He's the guy that sets up all the scenes.

He scouts out the right areas for different scenes. I really get a kick out of seeing his name in credits. :)

[supernova]

19. That sounds like a fun job

I wouldn't mind doing that.

[MrSlayer]

20. Couldn't be more perfectly cast.

Keith is a real life pirate so it's instantly believable.
