Robert Pattinson to Play Jack Sparrow’s Brother in Pirates of the Caribbean 4?

Rumors are flying that the sexiest vampire in town is set to replace Russell Brand in the next installment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films.

“Pirates of the Caribbean 4” is still in the planning process. Quite rumblings have been going on since the success of the trilogy. Johnny Depp has already expressed his desire to return to his beloved pirate character, Captian Jack Sparrow. Geoffrey Rush, Captain Barbossa, and Gore Verbinski, director, have also pledged their alliance to another “Pirates” installment. However, don’t be looking for Orlando Bloom to renew his role as Will Turner. Keira Knightley will also be forgotten in the new film. The plot is due to center solely around Jack Sparrow according to My Park Mag UK. Several scenarios are still being thrown around. The latest is and addition to the Sparrow family tree. Jack will get a brother.

Russell Brand was said to be in the running along with Zac Efron, but after Brand perturbed in the Disney kingdom by slamming the Jonas Brothers and their dedication to chastity…he is due to be replaced. Current front runner is the new hotness, Robert Pattinson. With his massive and still growing fan base, Disney wants his appeal to ensure the success of another pirate movie. Fingers are crossed for a 2011 start date.

Sign me up. Who doesn’t have Johnny Depp pirate fantasies? Don’t pretend like you don’t want to have his dirty pirate babies. Add R.Patz to the fantasy….wet naps will be handed out at the ticket booth.

UPDATE - After finally hearing back from a rep…Disney is denying any confirmation that Pattinson will be involved. Looks like we will have to wait and see. Currently the movie idea is still in the planning phase and casting, other than those already secured in previous roles, is still being toyed with.

Rob would be a perfect brother to Depp in Pirates 4. He’s got brilliant comedy timing as anyone who has seen him in Bad Mothers handbook will testify to.

Elaine December 16th, 2008 at 12:56 pm

I love The Bad Mother Handnbook… Daniel is my fav Robert Character to date. I hope he gets to play in Pirates.

Natsu December 16th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

Seriously, I think my heart just stopped…. HOW AWESOME!!! This is just spectacular since my son LOVES Jack Sparrow! Finally, something we can watch and enjoy together!!!

Angela December 16th, 2008 at 1:30 pm

Where do these rumors come from? I mean, it would be absolutely dreamy. (Forgive my tweeny language, but honestly, it is the right word.) However, I don’t want to get my hopes up unnecessarily. When writers say its a “rumor” does that mean that they could have just made it up themselves?

[...] Hollywood Dame & My Park Magazine have both posted articles about Rob being in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 as Jack Sparrow’s brother instead of Russell Brand, who was taken off the list because of the whole Jonas Brothers chastity problem in the VMAs Russell Brand was said to be in the running, but after he has perturbed in the Disney kingdom by slamming the Jonas Brothers and their dedication to chastity…he is due to be replaced.

I would be so happy if this was true. I adore pattinson and think he’s a wonderful actor.

OMG! can you imagine how HOT this movie would be if RPattz and JDepp shared a screen??! OMG OMG OMG!!!! I’d watch this movie every freaking day! Hot british accent ² !! OMG GIMME ROBERT AND JOHNNY!!! how awesome!!!! my poor poor fangirl heart! i love this!

Lola December 17th, 2008 at 2:05 am

Omg please NO! He’s an overrated little runt. and an ugly one at that. No. That aside, I love the Pirates movies for who their about, if he stars it will just be another excuse for it to make it all about him. HELL NO!! He needs to stay the damned hell outta this movie!!

DeDe December 17th, 2008 at 4:27 am

It’s true Robert is a great actor. His role as Daniel Gale in The Bad Mother’s Handbook was seriously perfect. But I have to say I think Russell Brand would be a better pick. If you look at his facial structure it’s similiar to Johnny’s so that it’s pausible they could pass as brothers, or even cousins, and Russell Brand has that eccentric personality that would fit with Jack Sparrow’s. If Robert is chosen to play Jack’s brother it’ll only be so that the movie sells rather than because they thik he’s the best choice.

Sam December 17th, 2008 at 5:04 am

I agree. Poor Rob will only be used to sell the movie. I’m sure he’ll do an amazing job of it and will have all the girl’s swooning but that’s just it. It would be like Disney using him as bait for yet another crazy installment. Four is overkill, we all know it. And it’s not like Johnny isn’t going to be bringing any fans to the movie, hell, the fact that it is a Pirates movie will bring in fans but seriously. Russell Brand is the better choice here ladies and gents, it’s just the way it is.

Armish December 17th, 2008 at 6:01 am

OMG.oMG.OMG. 1ST ORLANDO DEN 2 TWILIGHT N EDWARD N ROB. N NOW ROB IN PIRATES. WOW DAT WUD BE absOLUTELY AMAZIN!!!!!!!!!HYPERVENTILATION

waterlily December 17th, 2008 at 2:33 pm

Um…..YES! That would be a dream come true. Rob is just weird enough to pull this off. Plus, you know he’d be hot rocking those piratey dreads. Lets just make a list of all the fantasy men girls dream about and get Rob into the slot. Vampire..check. Pirate…Check. Now if we can just get a Rock star, a Prince and Doctor we’ll be good to go.

Also, I hated Brand on the VMAs, he even cut Rob off. What sweet justice!

Brittany D December 17th, 2008 at 2:37 pm

That’s kinda funny. If you think about it, Brand steals Rob’s line. Rob steals his job. I think Rob’s thinking “Ha! Payback’s a biotch!” lol

Hana December 17th, 2008 at 6:26 pm

I don’t agree with all the people who said that Russel should play Jack’s brother because he looks and acts like him. The contrast between Jack’s character and Will Turner was a very pleasent one. I think Johnny Depp’s should be the opposite of him, hence Robert. Robert is tall, blonde and could act scary, funny, and lost all at the same time and that would be a perfect brother for Johnny. And guys I don’t think Disney’s reason for considering him is his newfound fame because they have already invested a 57 Million Dollars in Johnny Depp knowing that he alone will create a boxoffice hit.

lulu December 17th, 2008 at 6:36 pm

This is awesome :D I would love to see Johnny and Rob together….. as long as this doesnt interfere with the Twilight saga movies (because I’m selfish like that LOL)

Mandi December 17th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

I think it would be awesome if Robert Pattinson played that role in Pirates, he would be a sexy pirate right next to Johnny Deep.

Angelina December 17th, 2008 at 8:57 pm

Someone needs to do their math here….there is no way R.Patz can do this film since he’ll be filming the three Twilight sequels; New Moon (which isn’t going to be out until 2010), Eclipse (due out 2012) and Breaking Dawn (due out 2013), so when exactly is he suppose to film this? Specially if filming is to begin 2011?

Saiana cullen December 18th, 2008 at 5:49 am

omg, that would be fraken awesome! not only is there a massive over load of tottal drama island, but nowI find out that one of my fave actors is going to be in another favorite series of mine!?? good day..good day, well keep our fingers crossed, wont we?

Saiana cullen December 18th, 2008 at 5:49 am

i’ll* spelling mistakes, haha!

Verie December 18th, 2008 at 1:51 pm

Zac? I can’t possibly imagine how could he ever play a pirate person. Honestly!

on the other hand. Robert Pattinson from Twilight could be a good candidate. Just seeing his interviews and natural personality is a perfect audition to tag along with Johnny Depp’s character Jack Sparrow!

It’s sure win for Disney if they did employ Robert Pattinson for POTC4! :]

Johnny Depp is my bran of heroin December 18th, 2008 at 2:17 pm

that would be awseome! O.O i think i actually had a small heartattack o.O

Nicole December 18th, 2008 at 6:18 pm

WOW! my 2 favorite freakin sexyy actors together! thatd be a dream come true!! I think he would do great job! people need to quit hating!

shahira December 26th, 2008 at 12:35 am

He look perfect whoever he is. He died in harry potter and that really sucks then he was reborn to be a vampire know he is a pirate.. Does he has personality disorder, hehehe just kidding… being a pirate wont be a problem for him…

Jack Mehoff December 30th, 2008 at 11:30 pm

O GREAT!!! I hate this Twilight wannabe actor. He is way too inexperienced to be around such a prestigious actor such as Johnny Depp. If this guy is in the movie….I am not going to see it. Okay, I probably will, but I won’t enjoy it. Okay, I probably will, but I am not buying popcorn. Okay, I probably will, but I am not getting a squirt of extra butter. Okay, I might, and now I really want some popcorn….

ToJACKMEHOFF January 3rd, 2009 at 6:03 pm

“He is way too inexperienced”???? Seriously??? Do you even know Pattinson’s acting experience? He is one of the most versatile YOUNG actors in the industry (The Bad Mother’s handbook, The Haunted Airman, How To Be)…and he’s set to do a gay role in little ashes. how more versatile can an actor get??? Surely he WAS not as famous as the others because he when he chooses his roles, he bases it on the SCRIPT and not the the revenue of the movie hence, landed on independent films.
Some people need to THINK BEFORE THEY TALK (or write).

empoy_smith January 8th, 2009 at 9:44 am

woaa! i love the pic of young quintin tarantino, Is it true the rumor about the movie as he will play as young brother of jack sparrow.

Gabriella January 12th, 2009 at 11:27 am

I love Robert Pattinson and watch every movie hes in but I never saw him in Pirates of the carribean?????? :) :) :) :) :) :)

Joy January 15th, 2009 at 5:57 pm

I love Johnny Depp and understand that he bought the rights to the novel Shantaram. He would be amazing in the part…any news on the progress of Shantaram would be of interest to me and all the other Shantaram fans.

KIm January 20th, 2009 at 5:44 am

Jonny Depp will sell this movie, not “sparkle”. Captain Jack will prevail!! It’s all about him. Although I must say, Orlando looked pretty hot at “Worlds End”….

Tori January 24th, 2009 at 9:48 pm

I am so excited for this movie! Although i think Robert would be a good choice for the role i think that russell brand would just “fit” better as jack sparrows brother. I could ttly see him playing a younger brother and R.Patz not so much…Dont get me wrong i love him i just dont think he’s right for the role. If R.patz does get the role though i think he will do a fine job.

alda alaniz caballero February 4th, 2009 at 11:05 am

les voy a ir avisando un a cosita nada mas… al jhonny deep me lo dejan como el capitan jack sparrow porque no se dan cuenta que piratas del carbie sin el no es piratas del caribe antes de pensar poner al zac ese… a ese quien lo conoce……..
para eso mejor dejen sus planes de hacer piratas del caribe 4

Decha February 11th, 2009 at 5:56 pm

Wow Cara…I was hoping that was true. Yet sort of glad it’s not. I would have no idea which one to look at if they were both on screen together. I think the hotness coming from the screen just might burn my retinas lol Really that would be…wow haha

KIRA February 25th, 2009 at 6:27 pm

OMG i pray to all that is holy if robert pattinson is in the next pirates movie i think girls EVERYWHERE will have found a true porno lol. even though orlando bloom might not be in it the two most mouth drooling people in the world are i would be grateful for that :)

Juliet February 27th, 2009 at 11:41 am

I do not think that Robert Pattinson looks good as the brother of Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp as one of the best actors ever and robert would look like a bad actor next to him.
I think that if Heath Ledger were alive market would be much better in the role of the brother of Jack. :)
