It's official--Johnny Depp's inspiration for Jack Sparrow, Keith Richards, is set to be in Pirates 3!

This has been a "rumor confirmed" for a good couple of months now. The question wasn't so much if, as in when they were going to shoot it. Glad it's actually been done and dusted now so that we can stop hoping that it's true! Will be fun to see what they do, though I hope there's no self-parodying going on...Depp came too close to that in the last one...

Speaking of Richards and Pirates...

An update on Pirates of the Caribbean IV: (*spoiler*)

That...sucks.

Hmmm, I actually think Bloom makes a bland but much needed third member of that particular triangle.

Nice to see, though obvious, that they're going ahead with a fourth...I only wonder now whether the script changes rumored on Pirates III's third act are true, leading to another cliff-hanger rather than a trilogy tie-up we were expecting.

Apparently while still filming III, deals were struck with all the major players to keep the franchise going to a possible six films...

Must. Not. Click. On. Spoiler!

I didn't actually get what was spoilerific about Mickey's post actually.

It's just speculation and doesn't say one way or the other that anything is happening for certain in any upcoming movies, III included.

The post says one of the main characters may die in Pirates III. I'd say that's pretty "spoilerific," even if it is just speculation. Before they see the film themselves, some people don't even want a hint of a possible twist or turn in a movie.

Hmmmm. I'm now tempted to click on it.

But I won't! Yet...

But we all know that Cap'n Jack dies in the next one, don't we?

Post by **Dacey** » October 11th, 2006, 6:00 pm

No. He already died.

In the third one, he'll "Un-die".

I found out Captain Jack's fate long before I saw Dead Man's Chest - something I didn't want to happen. Hence, I didn't want to be reponsible for spoiling Pirates III for someone.

Anyway, looks like the rumor is untrue:

IGN FilmForce wrote:...public relations firm New Media Strategies, who says it's working with Disney on the franchise, issued a statement today calling rumors of Bloom's departure "completely unfounded."

So I'm guessing that the rumor was that Will Turner would die?
