It looks like Capt. Jack Sparrow may have a brother in Russell Brand! We get this glorious news thanks to the good people over at the movieweb:
Russell Brand may be hitting the high seas in a blockbuster franchise. According to The Daily Mail, Brand is close to inking a deal to appear in Pirates of the Caribbean 4. The site reveals that Brand is close to signing a deal to portray Jonathan Sparrow, brother of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow. The deal is said to be upwards of 5 million pounds (almost $8 million US).
I wasn’t a fan of the POTC films….but this here is news that’s fanned the flames of my excitement. Brand is like Jack Sparrow 24/7. He was standing around the premier of Forgetting Sarah Marshall at SXSW last year and I can tell you by my own account that this man looks like a Glam Metal pirate. He is a perfect fit as the brother of Jack Sparrow and I hope this news turns out to be true.
This news has made a cheerleader out of me. International friends what do you think of this?
