Mafioso (The Criterion Collection, 3.18.2008) Nino Badalamenti is a supervisor in a car manufacturing plant who hasn't taken a vacation in over two years. On his way out the door to visit his beloved childhood hometown of Sicily -- with his blonde wife and daughters -- Nino is handed a package by his boss and asked to deliver it to a powerful and influential Sicilian gangster named Don Vincenzo. Once in Sicily, Nino has a hoot seeing friends and family, but his wife has trouble fitting in and is unfairly dismissed as a snob by Nino's family. Even more worrisome, Nino finds himself entangled in an intricate web of secret mafioso dealings and is eventually sent on an unexpectedly... elaborate errand. (continued)

So Keith Richards has definitely agreed to do a walk-on in the third Pirates movie...break out the Dom Perignon. This completes the circle in that Johnny Depp has always said Richards was his inspiration in portraying Cpt. Jack Sparrow. Richards will almost certainly play Captain Jack's dad or eccentric uncle...a mentor of some kind.

Wow, not since David Crosby had a cameo in Hook...

So can somebody spoil who the special celebrity guest at the end of this one is? Sean Connery as Robin Hood? Tom Cruise as Captain Blood? James Brolin as Pee-Wee? Ruben Stoddard singing Love Theme From Pirates of the Caribbean 2?
