Rampant Speculation
Well, when rumors first surfaced about sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean, my first thought was that they would go on a quest for Will's father. They may have "strapped a cannon to Bootstrap's boostraps," but he was an unkillable zombie pirate at the time, right? Initial previews did not support this speculation, though I should have remembered the next part of that line: "and sent 'im down to ol' Davey Jones' locker." Anyway, whether that's central to the plot or not, this listing can be found on IMDB: "Stellan Skarsgård .... 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner" This is the seventh listed actor/character, so it is likely he has a prominent role. The only other movie I've seen Stellan Skarsgård in is Ronin, where he did a nice job of playing a cold-hearted Russian. (No, I haven't seen the trailer yet, though I'm told it shows with Narnia. I'm hoping to see Narnia this week.)

You're probably right. It's a likely plot. The movie looks promising, if the trailor isn't just rigged to brainwash us into believing as much so we flock to movie theatres everywhere to dish out $8 to see it, which of course it is.
Ah, capitalism. (:
The trailer before Narnia that interested me was the one for the next Shyamalin movie.
Oooooh... that sounds promising. It might sound even more promising with details. ;-)
It's called "Lady In the Water" or something similar, and appears to be about a guy who finds a mermaid in his swimming pool. Not sure, though; the trailer didn't show much.
Oh, yeah. I have seen that preview, and I thought it looked promising. That was a while back, though.
I thought Ice Age 2 looked funny.
