Promotion for the upcoming National Treasure inevitably had Uber producer Jerry Bruckheimer answer questions about the much anticipated 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' part 2 & 3.

Talking to Latino Review, Bruck was somewhat shy on details. The one big rumour he couldn't avoid was the casting of rocker Keith Richards as Jack Sparrow's dad. "We don't have him yet," simply stated the man.

His one personal wish for the projects is still to film both at the same time, as was done for 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'The Matrix', saying "We'd like to. If Disney will write a check, we'll do it."
Of course, that gamble only paid off for 'Rings'. Previous attempts to pull it off, with 'Matrix' and 'Back To The Future' resulted in lesser profits. That doesn't mean he won't try, though.

"We hope that we can do it as well as Lord of the Rings did it. That's what you shoot for. You only learn through making mistakes, so we'll watch what Back to the Future did and Matrix did and hopefully not repeat what they did."
The producer confirmed that the subtitles for chapter 2 would in fact not be 'Treasure Of The Lost Abyss', as previously leaked on many web sites.

Production is set to kick off in March, at least for the first sequel. Stars Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom both have more than enough to keep occupied until then. Depp is signed on for five other projects including Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, while bloom has Kingdom of Heaven and Elizabethtown both in post-production.
