Sequel casting news

A few casting notes came out this week about some highly anticipated sequels.
Penelope Cruz may play Jack Sparrow's new foil in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides." The film allegedly revolves around the fountain of the youth.

"On Stranger Tides" is directed by Rob Marshall who worked with Cruz on her Oscar nominated performance in "Nine." The film will shoot in Hawaii in the summer and is scheduled to be released May 20, 2011.

Tim Robbins has been cast in the new "Green Lantern" movie. He will play Senator Hammond, who is the father of Peter Sarsgaard's Hector Hammond.
In the Green Lantern universe Hector Hammond's father is not a crucial character, so the film will obviously be creating a new story worthy of an actor like Robbins.
