Orlando's daddy in POTC2

Before I even get into the news about Orlando Bloom's father in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 2, I just have to get this odd confession off my chest. Every time I hear Orlando Bloom's name I think of that classic quote from GHOST: "Orlando! Damn baby, what did you do to your hair? Orlando?! You like it? It's 'Autumn Sunrise.'" I think if I ever bumped into Orlando Bloom not at some type of press function, I'd just have to go up to him and say that. It'd be too good to pass up. Anyway, on to the real reason you're hear. It seems as if Orlando Bloom's father in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 2 and 3, Bootstrap Bill, has been cast. Swedish newspaper Metro reported today that Stellan Sarsgård has signed on to play Bootstrap in the second and third sequels. You can read the article below...if you speak Swedish. If not, allow me to paraphrase via our scooper "JL" who was kind enough to send this in. He said, "I've been promised to get at least one real swords fight" and that production starts in LA at the end of next month before heading to the Bahamas later in the production. He also adds that he has only read the script for the second film and he believes they are still working on the third one. It has been widely rumored that Keith Richards would co-star as Johnny Depp's father in the film but the musician hasn't signed on yet. Thanks again to "JL" for sending this in.
