Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård (Ronin, Amistad, Exorcist: The Beginning, King Arthur) has landed the role as Orlando Bloom's father 'Bootstraps' Turner in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels slated to start shooting this year.

According to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Skarsgård starts working on the project in February and will finish in December.

"We are going to shoot around the Los Angeles area as well as in the Bahamas and the West Indies," says Skarsgård. "I'm playing the old pirate 'Bootstraps' Turner... it should be fun, I enjoyed the first one."

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently said he was also negotiating with Geoffrey Rush to return as Barbossa in a third "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are all signed on to return, along with the director and writers from "Curse of the Black Pearl."

Awesome. The studio is still trying to get Chow Yun Fat and Keith Richards. These films are shaping up to be better than the first, IMO.

"POTC"

Ya know, at first I though that stood for "Passion of the Christ". A prequel to the Passion, eh? Like Genesis? Cool.

Pirates of the Caribbean was one of my favourite movies of all time. I can't wait for the sequals. Pirates kick ass.

Awesome. Where did you find this article? Rumors have been pretty abundant with this film. I've a few of a love interest for Jack Sparrow, in the form of Salma Hayek. But until I can see it from a legitimate source, I'd hardly give it much thought. Though Keith Richards as Jack's father gets nothing but thumbs up from me.

I'd honestly just be happy if Jack Davenport reprises his role as Commodore Norrington. I spent the first half of the movie bewitched at the fact that "That's Steve from Coupling in a wig! What the crap!" Seriously, I love my men in uniform.

Niiiiice. I love pirates, and I love pirate movies. Furthermore, POTC is one of my favorite films, and the very thought of making a franchise is great news.

I'm glad someone else recognises him. Great show and he's a great comic actor
