Keith Richards To Star As Pirate

Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards is set to make his Hollywood debut, according to NME.com. Following some speculation, it appears Richards will star in a "Pirates Of The Caribbean" sequel.

"I can confirm, Keith Richards will appear in 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' 2 or 3," explained co-star Bill Nighy to Contactmusic.com. “I'm not sure which one, because they are being filmed back to back."

The Rolling Stone is expected to play the father of Johnny Depp's character Captain Jack Sparrow who was largely based on Richards real life persona in the original film.

Pirates of the caribbean 2 and 3!!!.. what a load of crap :-@

[notbychoice]

I enjoyed the first..i hope they dont make a crap cash in

[hekainu]

This was known ages ago :s

[KillEmAll]

This is very very old news

[RocknRoller26]

heh, he does look alot like a pirate lol

[saul_LAguns]

old news! but it will be cool to see keith acting

[DireStraits]

Awesome, I loved that movie! Richards is good for the part.

[rock_star77]

It's not old. It's only official now, before it was rumoured... God. Anyways, yeah, he'd make a great pirate.

[guitar_freak523]

sweet!

[boxcarblink41]

Keria Knightley is hot. So is Johnny Depp. Pirates of the Carribean kicks ass.

[GetLostInIt776]

pirates 1 was a rad movie...the only thing that dissapointed me was to see johnny depp "sell out"...but other than that is was a good movie. i hope they dont make the sequels as cheap as the matrix 2 was...

[guitar_freak523]

bahahahaha how does an actor sell out his job is acting

[Cameo]

Dude how can you say Johnny Depp sold out, he's been making crappy mainstream movies forever... he does really good stuff, but he "sold out" ages ago.

Sounds pretty cool to me, since he was the basis for Depp's character in the first place.

Pirates and Ninjas Don't get along....and ninjas could so kick the pirates asses

[thefinalcut]

Keith in a John Depp movie, it should be interesting to see him as a pirate (he already has the look and a cockney accent). I can see myself laughing already, you know Keef is gonna have a hilarious scene.

[thejester]

just as guitarfreak said, how does an actor sell out by doing their job. sometimes people dont want to make low budget movies their whole life, wierd isnt it? also if you have ever seen an interview with him he has rejected many huge name scripts because he did not like it. now if he takes a movie for the cash and not because he believed in the script call him a sellout

[bad beaver]

I hear what you're all saying, and I agree -- Nirvana is a shitty band hehehehehehe

i think not, any self respecting pirate would pillage a ninja and his village,

and seeing as most pirates have wooden legs, eye patches or hooks instead of hands, if i ninja hit a pirate he would be immediately dry bummed for hitting a cripple....

i think we know who would win

[.N30C0N.]

AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!.. omg... That just lightened up the day... You watch Keith by a berral smoking a joint... lol

[rjc_15]

Keith as a pirate, I can definitely see it. I was looking forward to the next two "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, but this kind of kicks it up another notch. Bam!

[GNRobsessed013]

LMFAO WHAT THE FUCK?!? AHAHAHAHA.

[gmsje]

Keith Richards is a pirate. He doesn't have to be in a movie to know that. Hope it will be interesting to see. Hope he doesn't ham it up. Doesn't need to. Keith, just be yourself and have a blast with Johnny D.

[im not mental]

should be interesting.

[Keegs22]

That...is...awesome.

[atc228]

ooo..hhhh eeemmm.. geeee!!!.. Johnny Depp is sooo.. delicious!!!! mmm.. mmm.. mmm.. *licks lips*


onto other things, which ever one hes in should be amusing. he really is a pirate already
i also cant wait ontill TLAP. they should release the movie(s) on TLAP next year. i think it would be apropriate

[SlashFrusciante]

pirates are wayyyy cooler than ninjas. also, keith is def a pirate as it is, pirates 2/3 is goinna be very good as long as the director doesnt sell out.

[psykopoo]

Johnny Depp was ridiculously awesome in that movie

[psykopoo]

Whats with this "sell-out" bullshit, some of his "mainstream" movies are awesome, does'nt mean he's any less of an actor.

[three.chords]

Keith is a pirate!

[ChurchNSkate]

well, hey on the good side, he already looks dead...saves a bunch on makeup.

[RedburN]

"I enjoyed the first..i hope they dont make a crap cash in"

same.

[ledsoldier]

u mean hes not a real pirate? dam, i just lost five bucks

[Clarkinator]

This is sweet, Richards would be perfect for this part, because he doesnt have to act. AND PIRATES KICK ASS!!!

[deansouthpaw]

ill rape and murder you all

[GNRobsessed013]

deansouthpaw:
ill rape and murder you all

Ooh! Ooh! Me first?

[haggardguy]

I can just imagine him coming into port and being busted with possesion with intent to sell.

[DisturbedIbanez]

Interesting.

[thevirus299]

what if he dies

[snake_eyes31]

pirates of the caribbean kicks ass, i can't wait to see the new one, i hope it's as good as the first one.

[Drewfedorka]

That bastard is like 100 years old ( at least he looks it), he probably is gonna play the part of one of the dead skeletons they always find in caves and stuff.

[Overrated]

aaa..r!

[poontastic]

yahar, i hope they dont screw these up

[Gilmour_Rocks]

i doubt keith would rememeber his lines....

[DanSumthing]

I doubt he will "star" seeing as how he has no acting experience.

[MeatPuppets22]

a shit in a hat is a rabbit in fact

[benEboy2008]

man drewfedorka if you have somthin against skeletons or him you should just say it to yourself instead of tryin to make your opinion sound cool on this site cause no one gives a damn

[JohnnyMak]

RocknRoller26:
heh, he does look alot like a pirate lol
yeah he kinda does, is it just me or does Cliff Williams of AC/DC also look like a pirate (especially in "Live At Donington")

[chickwithpick]

three.chords:
Keith is a pirate!

I agree, but hes still sweet

[evh3988]

thevirus299:what if he dies

keith is immortal, anyone who can have his blood changed out 3 times can't just die that easily, anyone who has done that much heroin won't die..hehe...shit

[A PricklyCactus]

Keith was born a pirate! He's so cool, anyone who's had a blood transfusion to continue drug use is awesome! Ninja's would totally kick pirates asses, I mean c'mon! THe chidori and the Kage no byuushin no jutsu would definitely blow all the pirates away! Pirates can shoot and stab all they want, but the substitution techniques will leave them all bewildered.
