Casting addition to 'Pirates 3'

Nice to see it confirmed.
Should be a fun romp with him on screen for a bit. Can't wait for the second film to open this weekend.
Keith Richards in 'Pirates 3'
LONDON, England (AP) -- Keith Richards is not the first person one would think of as a father figure -- but Johnny Depp says that's all about to change.
The Rolling Stones guitarist is lined up to play the swashbuckling father of a pirate in the third installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, Depp said Tuesday.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer said Richards would have a cameo role as the father of the flamboyant Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Depp. The third "Pirates" movie is to resume filming next month in California.
Depp, 43, has said he adopted Richards' body language and mannerisms to create the Captain Jack character.
"We're all looking forward to the idea of Keith coming in," Depp told reporters at a news conference to promote "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," which opens Thursday in Britain.
Co-star Orlando Bloom was similarly enthusiastic.
"I can't wait to see him -- well, if he doesn't kill himself falling out of coconut trees," Bloom said. "Very rock and roll."
Richards, 62, suffered a head injury April 27 in Fiji. News reports variously claimed that he fell out of a palm tree or from a jet ski. Richards later had surgery in New Zealand to relieve pressure in his head.
In May, The Rolling Stones postponed the first 15 dates of their European tour so Richards could recover. He will join the Stones for their rescheduled European tour, beginning Tuesday in Milan.

I think they shot the stuff they needed in the Bahamas so they didn't waste money going back and forth for movies 2 & 3. The rest of the stuff for 3 is probably going to be shot in LA with some pickups in the Bahamas as needed.

I'm hoping it's nothing more than a quick cameo. Anything more and it could get annoying.
I could have sworn this info was "confirmed" like, a year ago.

Are we sure this isn't old? This was confirmed before, but later Richards dropped out. I haven't heard he's actually back in, so I'm wondering if they're not just running with an old news story.

I've heard several news shows on TV talking about this in the last couple of days, suggesting it's recent and confirmed

It wasn't comfirmed before, it was all speculation and nothing official was ever really said about it.
This is the comfirmation of this. As for filming, they already got 1/3rd of the third film shot when they were in certain locations while shooting dead man's chest.

I actually heard he was supposed to be in the second but his touring schedule with the Stones prevented him from partaking. Nice to see he found a way to get into it. 
(Though I too hope he is nothing more than a cameo.)
