Looks like Paul McCartney is trading in his yellow submarine for a pirate ship.
The Beatle shocked the twitter-verse Saturday when he confirmed his role in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales via a character poster that sees the 74-year-old in full pirate hair and makeup, the caption reading, simply, “#PiratesLife.”
Disney appeared to confirm the news, sharing the rock star’s post to the film’s official social pages. While there’s no official word yet whether McCartney’s role is merely a cameo or if he plays a larger part in the story of the franchise’s fifth outing, according to IMDb he’s credited as “Jail Guard 2.”
Disney did not immediately return EW’s request for comment.
He’s not the first musician to join the franchise. After years of Johnny Depp telling reporters that he based his characterization of Jack Sparrow partly on Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones guitarist joined the third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, as Sparrow’s piratical father Captain Teague.
Once again, the Beatles and the Stones will be pitted against each other — only this time on the high seas.

Depp is so broke right now. Probably Paul also after his ex wife cleaned his clock. Sad. The last movie was a yawn fest. This franchise is just yesterday's left overs.

As she's only got one leg you'd think his EX would be in this not Mcartney. (She got a payout of £24 million out of a then estimated £700m so I think Sir Paul could cope with the hit - she was pitching for £125m)
How strange are the ways of the gods ...........and how cruel.

I heard this is a sort of semi reboot, i.e. going back to the originalMr. X wrote:Depp is so broke right now. Probably Paul also after his ex wife cleaned his clock. Sad. The last movie was a yawn fest. This franchise is just yesterday's left overs.
Suspect the main markets for this are Russia and China and it's not really aimed at the domestic US and western European markets that have Depp fatigue.
You mean Russia and China are suffering from...wait for it.....DEPP-RAVATION!!! whereas the West has a DEPPLORABLE surplus of his movies!lionbadger wrote:I heard this is a sort of semi reboot, i.e. going back to the originalMr. X wrote:Depp is so broke right now.

Very little, and certainly no self-respect

Oh, maybe not.
As for McCartney's appearance, he worked with Depp last year on the Hollywood Vampires album. (Depp's super-group with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. )
Don't bother with the album unless you're a real Alice Cooper completist who likes to hear a load of cover versions with some massively inappropriate snarling vocals. Except for the batshit mental 'comedy' voice Alice does on The Jimi Hendrix Experience's Manic Depression, which has to be heard to be believed.
It's no Billion Dollar Babies, that's for sure.
