Whoa.
I cannot confirm that -- but that's really cool if true.
River ,'Objects In Space'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Whoa.
I cannot confirm that -- but that's really cool if true.
Hmph. I thought I'd check the version that's here, but it doesn't seem to have the titles.
From ScifiWire:
Bloom also confirmed that former Rolling Stone Keith Richards will play Jack Sparrow's father: "I've heard those rumors, too, and I believe there may be some truth in that, yes."
That's a very firm position he's taking on the rumour.
Ooh! ita said "rumour"! I bet she says "foetus", too!
But when the on-screen prosthetics peeled off for his swashbuckling leading man role in Pirates of the Caribbean, suddenly, all bets were off. The girls swooned and hysteria took over. Nearly 200 fan websites sprang up overnight
Ahem! He had an assload of fansites shortly after Fellowship. As someone who might have been paying attention to this stuff, it's insane how hard he took off with so little source material. The juggernaut already had inertia by the time PotC came out.
You're right. I remember seeing footage of the PotC premiere and there was hysteria when he arrived.
Hmph. The first time I saw PotC is was for the Orli factor. The second and third times were all about Johnny, and the fourth had a bit of a, "hey, wait, what about Jack?' influence. But Orli certainly had a pre-PotC buzz.
Fellowship and Two Towers were out at that point -- he'd definitely bust out as the teen heartthrob of choice before TTT even made it onscreen.
It's kinda creepy, except -- he's really pretty and it meant lots of pictures for this sorely visual girl to collect.
