Pirates Of The Caribbean TV Spin-Off

?Pirates Of The Caribbean? favourite Captain Jack Sparrow is to star in his very own TV spin-off from the hugely successful film franchise.

Disney has decided that, after three movie outings, there is still plenty of mileage in the Keith Richard?s-inspired swashbuckler, played by Johnny Depp in the films.

Like the Indiana Jones spin-off, the series will lift the lid on Captain Jack?s younger years:

Says an insider: ?The idea is that we focus on a much younger Jack Sparrow and show fans how he became a famous pirate

?The film has been such a success with spin-offs such as toys and video games and books it seems only right to do a TV show.?

The series will feature Jack as a teenage stowaway who day-dreams of becoming a pirate.
