It seems the Internet got a collective case of amnesia with a whole bunch of old stories breaking as new in the past day. “Breaking Dawn” in two parts? No shit. “Transformers 3” in 3-D? That was revealed back in February, and now the earth shattering news that Geoffrey Rush is going to star in “Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”
Variety, always on top of breaking stories [insert eye roll], reported that the actor has returned for the film that starts shooting this week in Hawaii. Only thing is, MTV reported this last year (which we noted at the time) and pretty much everyone else knew Rush was involved. Is there any wonder why the trade is struggling?
Anyways, we’ll close this story by exclusively reporting that Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, Stephen Graham and newcomers Astrid Berges-Frisbey and Sam Clafin are in the film as well. Oh yeah, it’s also about pirates.
