Coming Soon has brought word that Penelope Cruz will play Blackbeard’s daughter in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Blackbeard will of course be played by the recently signed Ian McShane, and the film’s producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, says that there will most definitely be “a little romance between Captain Jack and the new character that Penelope plays.”
The reports also informs us Geoffrey Rush will return as Barbossa. As far as other cast members go, Bruckheimer revealed that they are “looking for some new kids to be in it, we’re testing right now.” In addition, the producer said that “we’re going to take a whole new direction” with the new installment. As far as that “whole new direction” NY Post reports that all actresses on set must have natural breasts:
Disney is searching for real treasure chests for its upcoming shoot of the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” swashbuckler — that is, women with natural breasts.
The movie studio has banned actresses with artificial enhancements for the fourth installment, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” directed by Rob Marshall and starring Johnny Depp as the drunken buccaneer Jack Sparrow.
The filmmakers sent out a casting call last week seeking “beautiful female fit models. Must be 5ft7in-5ft8in, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants.”
And they warn that there’ll be a “show and tell” day.
To make sure LA talent scouts don’t get caught in a “booby trap,” potential lassies will have to undergo a Hollywood-style jiggle-your-jugs test and jog for judges. If there’s nothing moving from the waist up, they’re saying, it’s a dead giveaway that you’re not all flesh and bones — and you’re out.
Apparently, the bouncier the better, especially for sword-fighting action sequences, according to the Sunday Times of London.
“In the last movie, there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whorish look, and men were pretty well padded too, and no one worried,” a former casting agent said. “But times are changing, and the audience can spot false breasts.”
There you have it, 100% real breasts in Pirates 4.
The film will be directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine) and is set for a May 20, 2011 release date. The project is scheduled to begin shooting in June, mostly in Hawaii.
