Now the marketing team behind ’Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End’ - the film in which Richards plays Johnny Depp’s father - are worried about the effects of Richards' comments on the film.
Dennis Rice, a senior vice president at Disney, said: “When (a senior Disney publicist) forwarded the (Richards) story to me…I thought ‘How are we going to spin this?'”
