Incidentally, McCartney is noit new to movies. He has appeared in several movies dating from his days as a member of the Fab Four. Way back in 1964, he, alongside John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison had starred in A Hard Day's Night. The acclaimed movie, directed by Richard Lester, depicted a typical day in the life of The Beatles and featured a number of their songs.
Hard Day's Night was followed by Help! in the next year - this movie revolved around the chart-topping group facing an evil cult and, once again, it was driven by the music of The Beatles.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales will see Aussie Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush return as Barbossa and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner. In addition, Javier Bardem has been cast as villainous Captain Salazar while British actress Kaya Scodelario, of Skins fame, will play new character Carina Smyth.
The movie Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is slated for release in 2017.
