Chow In Pirates Sequels?
Hong Kong action star Chow Yun-fat is set to play a pirate in the upcoming sequels to last year's hit Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the French AFP wire service reported.
The wire service cited a report in the Chinese-language Apple Daily newspaper, which quoted Chow's wife, Jasmin Chan Wui-nin, as saying Chow will play the famous 15th-century Chinese pirate Cheung Po Tsai in the second and third installments.
Chow will team up with members of the original cast, including Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush and Keira Knightley, the AFP reported. Rolling Stone legend Keith Richards will also play the father of Depp's character, Capt. Jack Sparrow, the wire service reported.
Chan said both the movie's producer and director contacted Chow's management company in the United States two months ago, and director Gore Verbinski flew to Hong Kong last week to discuss the screenplay with Chow, the Apple Daily reported.
