Back In The Boat

The recent departure of Disney exec Richard Cook may have left star Johnny Depp not as excited about Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides but another cast member is ready to return to the high seas.



Geoffrey Rush tells MTV that he's ready to get back to work as Captain Barbosa in the 4th film which kicks off shooting in Spring.

"They're waiting for the screenplay writers to put together something that's beyond the trilogy, take it off into a new direction so that it's fresh and hopefully really interesting for an audience, that they're not going to just sausage-machine out something else, which wouldn't be so good"

He then jokingly admits that neither the studio or prodder Jerry Bruckheimer have been in touch with him about it.

Rush should talk to Jason Bateman about that....
