Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End director Gore Verbinski has told SCI FI Wire that directing Keith Richards in the third outing of the swashbuckling franchise came naturally.
‘Well, he’s playing a pirate,’ said Verbinski ’so you just try to make him feel comfortable and try to capture Keith. He’s just a completely unique human being, there is nobody else like him, so we adapted our filming style to suit Keith.’
In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End the Rolling Stones guitarist plays Captain Teague, a rascal who may or may not be the father of Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp.

I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying. Either OPEC doesn’t have the supply they claim they have, or Analysts are incorrect when they say demand has decreased. Personally, I don’t buy the claim that demand has decreased. Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing.
