Disney to Cut All Keith Richards’ Scenes from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4’

Is Ed Sullivan providing advice to Disney? I thought both were long departed.

Like Disney didnt know before hand tha Keith Richards did drugs! What a joke.

How about Disney's teen stars? How can they be moral all of a sudden?

Amen!

Oh how sweet - Disney didn't know that Keith Richards had indulged in the occasional drug use. Bless their sweet ignorance.

Come Onnnnnnn, Disney !! He makes the perfect Pirate. Pirates are bad guys, Remember?

If Disney wasn't already aware of Richards' legendary drug use before reading it in a book, where the heck have they been hiding for the last 40 years?!

Are you kidding me???? I'm not a "Stones" fan and even I knew he was a druggie from the past. Who cares?? You think real pirates didn't/don't do drugs????? It's not like he's snorting cocaine in the movie. Bad move on Disney's part. I'm with "asfsdfas" on the fact of their stupid teen stars! I hope Johnny Depp stands up against this. If it weren't for Keith Richards they wouldn't have the Jack Sparrow who has made them a FORTUNE!!!

So Disney can really say with a straight face that no one in any of their films has ever done drugs? Wow. How typical of such a crap studio. Pixar is the only thing keeping that studio afloat and they need to begin to realize that and make some changes. They dont have an artistic bone in their collective bodies anymore. And to pull this crap is stupid, childish, inmature, and hypocritical. While their teeny boppers continue to use drugs, behave like morons and degrade themselves, they have a problem with someone that has shown no secrecy that he uses drugs. Disney: Go **** yourselves.

Disney is run by a bunch of bloomin idiots. We all know Kieth is a slight party animal. GET OVER IT DISNEY! Most of your movies stink. The Pirates movies are great. Leave it alone, morons.

Everyone knows Keith's reputation, even my 80 year old Mother. Cutting Keith will only hurt Disney's reputation. The book is NOT new news to the public. C'mon Disney...

well I won't bother seeing the flick then

lol

Didn't Disney check out Richards' background before? Unless those that do the hiring live under cabbage leaves they should be aware of Richards past. I don't think it makes any difference at this point in time.

Disney getting moral all of a sudden over actors in its employment? Where was all this concern during Lindsey Lohan's daily brushes with the law? Disney....nobody cares about Keith Richard's past with regards to his being in Pirates. The sugar coated days of Walt Disney's family oriented beginnings are long past, you guys have been tweaking your movies to a more adult audience for years. For you to now get a bout of moral conscientiousness is laughable.

If Disney didn't realize that Keith Richards did drugs prior to his appearance in the Pirates movie someone over there was sniffing something. Everyone on the planet knows his history with drugs. I hope they keep him in the movie. Maybe they should fire Johnny Depp because he made it pretty clear when he initially started filming this franchise that he based his character on Keith Richards.

What about Miley Cyrus shes just as bad in the moral department.

For Disney to "suddenly discover, and now disapprove" of Richards' drug use is absurd! The ENTIRE world knows that Richards has done and still does drugs! Its one of the minor things he is famous for! They knew about his drug use when they cast him in Pirates 3, and Pirates 4, now they want play stupid!?! The Disney image was not hurt at all by Richards appearance in Pirates 3, nor will it be hurt by his appearance in Pirates 4! Get a grip Disney! If Walt were still alive he would say "What a man does in his personal life has no bearing on whether he can act now!"

OK, what is the REAL reason Disney is cutting his scenes? Do they think ANYONE is going to believe that they didn't know about Keith's drug use BEFORE they signed him to do the movie? This is both pathetic and laughable.

Getting to see Keith would be the main reason I would watch Pirates 4. I'm 57. I've known he was a druggie from the moment I was given my first transistor radio and started listening to the Stones and reading about them in Teen magazine.

We all know about Keith Richards. Actually we are all surprised he's still alive. That should not take him out of the movie. I see everyone tripping on themselves to help Lindsey Lohan. Let it go, the man should be in the movie!

You got to be kidding,,,Keith uses drugs. Disney ought to be replaced,,Idiots.

I have a very difficult time actually believing that Disney did not know Richards did drugs. I have a feeling that others who are supporting the movie got wind of it and now Disney needs to come out acting like they are against him being in the movie. And as others have stated Disney does one thing and says another. Maybe they should look at all their actors before hiring them on for a movie... even if they are just a voice over for a movie. Or about these teen actors.

As long as he was paid, I doubt "Keef" cares what Disney does. OTH, I do. If he gets cut I won't take the family to see the movie or buy the DVD.

But Disney apparently has no problem doing movies about drunken, whoring, murdering men. Hypocrites!!!

None of these comments seem to get that the reported reason was the fact that Richards appeared to be giving advice for how to do * drugs for years and survive. Still, it will be no loss if Keith is cut.

You're kidding,,Keith Richards does Drugs? Wow, I think the people at Disney ought to be cut....Idoits.

Disney how dare your, now your concern. Look at all the trash (Lindsay, Vanessa, Miley and more) you dumped on us. You knew about Sir Keith way before he did the first Pirates. Everybody in this world knows about Keith. In the last ten years you have not set good examples at all with your choices of actors. If Keith isn't in this movie believe me you will loose a lot of viewers. He's freaking perfect as Jack's father. Everyone that I know wants to see the fourth just to see Sir Keith

Give me a break "What about TIM ALLEN THE COKE HEAD.
Keith's was in the past. Where Tim's problems are in the present.
I am so upset with DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!

Disney will probably get Ozzy Osborne to replace him.
