Keith actor debut?
Depp Wants Richards to Appear in Pirates Sequel
Johnny Depp reportedly wants Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards to appear in the Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl sequel - as his father.
The hunky star famously based his character, Jack Sparrow, on the aged rocker in the celebrated film, and wants to pay tribute to Richards by landing him a role in the follow-up.
A source says, "Johnny was slightly embarrassed by all the praise for Pirates because he was really just being Keith".
"A good way of thanking Keith would be to get him to do a walk-on in the sequel."

I think I read that in Johnny's interview in the current issue of Playboy. I really wish Keith would make a cameo as his father...that would be awesome...and a guaranteed hit...I would definitely rush right out and see it on opening night.
God, I love Keith...and I love that Depp is getting Keith's name out there to a younger crowd...and, most importantly, telling journalists not to dismiss Keith as just some drugged out rocker...he always mentions how intelligent and wonderful Keith is...which is something a LOT of people don't know. Yay for Johnny. |

I think Gypsy and I should make a cameo in the Pirates II as well.
We could be in the background in a bar scene. I'd grab Gypsy's ass, and she'd bust me upside the head with a jug o' grog. Then we'd laugh with gusto in each other's face.
I gotta get in touch with those people at Disney.
Would we need a SAG card for that? |

Hell yeah! 
And it's not a matter of acting Egon, he'll just be his usual self 
How cool would that be?! Come on Johnny, get it going, we *have* to have this on screen.
P.S. Hmmm, I wonder if this happens how Mick would react... It sometimes seems that Keith just puts up minimal (or non at all) effort and has the best results, while poor Mick has been trying with movies and all with, em, slightly doubtful outcomes Just kidding, but I'd really like to see how he'd take it! |

Keith already had a small role in the Undercover video did he not? Its been 20 years since I seen it, but didn't he have a scene in which he carried a gun and wore an eye patch? No dialogue if I recall.

the more i think about this - the better idea it seems to be. It should be more than a bit role. I imagine some kind of bar room brawl, with Keith using a sword, or some kind of weapon (a lute perhaps?) imagine how cool the lines on his face would look if shot well, under dark lighting. he'd be a great on screen character.

Keith would be perfect but he has a scheduling conflict as he has committed to Gibson's "Passion of the Christ, Pt II" |

Keith could absolutely pull this off without a hitch. It's a fantastic idea. And remember the studio execs didn't like Johnny's way of playing the pirate character initially, and they were waaaaaaay wrong! This time I bet they'll listen to him!
So when do we start standing in line to see this film????

I bet Keith would love it. Dressing up as a pirate and being sinister but lovable as hell!
Yo-ho-ho and a tumbler of "nuclear waste"! |

Imagine the irony...Keith does it as a whim and ends up with an Academy Award nomination.
Mick would turn deep shades of green!!!

Thanks, LJ.
I think it's a fantastic idea...I don't want to get too excited about it yet. But, yeah, all Keith would have to do is be himself...he could play the rugged pirate dad with ease.
Oh, yeah...and Mick would be sooo jealous if Keith got rave reviews. |

they're kinda beating this idea to death. i knew immediately when i saw the movie that depp was ripping off keef, i didn't need him to say it, and i thought it was kinda lame the first time i read about it. now i can hear about one without the ther being mentioned. i can just imagine how lame a cameo would be |

I am a genius! I predicted this. Or, i mean, i suggested this ages ago. If any role is made for Keef, its this. A whole new generation of fans to corrupt! |

I will remain humble, even when i kiss my reflection. But really, i hope Keith does make a cameo. Think Sean Connery in Indiana Jones. He only needs a little scene at the end. Wont even need any costume/make-up. |

didn't they once make a film with keef?
now why wasn't that released again....?
Keef, stick to your guitar. |

Can you just picture Keith, all decked out in his pirate gear, peering out on the ocean from the bow of the ship and saying 'It's great to be here; it's great to be anywhere!' |

|
| stonedinaustralia |
wasn't keith's acting debut (stones' stuff aside)playing the part of a tree in "barbarella"? |
|
|
| gypsy |
Actually, I think Keith played the part of "pipe-smoking girl" in Barbarella. Just kidding.
Yeah, SS...we could pull it off...and nobody would think your pirate character was gay...I can assure you of that.
Luv ya, SS...keep on doing the good work for sick people. Unfortunately, I'm at work now...but nobody is genuinely sick...ER is full of drug seekers and pussies. Yeah, I said "PUSSIES!"

How about THIS scene Gyps....same as before, but instead of you clonkin' me on the noggin....Keef walks up and clonks me. He then puts his arm around you all protective like, looks down at me and says..."Sorry mate, but I already paid for this one!"
And THEN, Parmy and LJ and Luxy flounce over(you gals CAN flounce can't you?), and fawn all over Keef, and then he says, "And these fine tarts as well!"
Then Capt. Jack comes over and says something swarthy to his old man, Keef responds, I try to get up, and Capt. Jack clonks me on the noggin again.
I fall down really good. |
|
|
| gypsy |
Oh, we can flounce alright. We RO ladies can do anything we set our minds to.
Why are you so scared of a sex scene? Hell, we'll let your old lady clonk you on the head after she finds you laid up w/ all the RO ladies. Then you'll fall down REAL good.
I've even got this idea for the gay audience out there...yes, it does involve jb and joey as two gay ass pirates...can't get into details right now. |

Keith has lived by the Pirate's code all his life so I think he should be able to handle the part. Besides "the code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules."

Let me just go on record and say I can flounce with the best of them. And I'm quite certain Luxy and Parmy can as well. Great idea, SS!!
Sharp E....great to see you back!!
gypsy....e-mail me with the entire plot of the Joey/jb scene. LMAO.
