Aaarrrrrrrggghhh!

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day!



And Captain Jack himself arrived at the Disney Expo D23 to announce Pirates 4: On Stranger Tides due out in 2011. There can never be enough Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?

Captain Rob Sparrow?

There's a rumor going around that the part of Captain Jack Sparrow's brother in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 will not go to Russell Brand, as previously was rumored. Russell Brand's slamming of the Jonas Brothers' chastity is the tip of the iceberg as to the ways he has offended people in recent months and Disney is touchy about their brand, er, child actors. I think Russell would be perfect as Johnny Depp's brother, but this latest rumor has me excited. If Orlando Bloom is out, who's your heart throb in the movie then, to bring in all those teen girls (and their moms)? Robert Pattinson! My how his movie stardom has changed things, eh? So far this is all rumor. I'll believe it when it's printed on Nikki Finke's blog or Variety.

Russell Brand comments on Pirates 4 rumor

MTV got this reaction from Russell Brand to the rumor that he might play Captain Jack Sparrow's brother in Pirates 4:

“I’ve seen some talk about that matter but I think they’re still writing the script,” he said. And of course, then Brand launched into a riff that makes you wonder how far he will go for his art should the role pan out. “I am having a skull and crossbones tattooed on each of my nipples in anticipation of the plotline. I just hope it doesn’t affect my other work in Jane Austen adaptations.”

Here's hoping the rumor pans out!

Russell Brand Captain Sparrow's brother?

Could this news be more perfect? This is putting whip cream and a cherry on my day!!
From WENN:

British comic Russell Brand is reportedly in negotiations to join the cast of the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.

The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star is rumoured to be in line to play the brother of Johnny Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow.

A source tells U.K. newspaper The Sun, "There couldn't be a role more perfectly suited. There's a lot of Jack Sparrow in his mannerisms and behaviour. Depp's accent isn't a million miles away from Russell's either.
