“We’re all looking forward to the idea of Keith coming in and doing a cameo and it’s looking very, very good,” Depp told reporters on Tuesday, the day after “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dean Man’s Chest”.
The third installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean” is slated for 2007.

Got something to say?
Hi, thanks for coming by my site. I can’t wait to see Richards as Sparrows dad. This is just a rumor heard from a friend who says that Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush took some “home movies” of Richards and Depp clowning around in costume that may be used in the 3rd movie’s final credits. I hope this is true.
You are welcome Jayne. Your blog is pretty interesting.
As for a movie’s final credits, did you see the one at the end of X-men 3?
