Ok well here is a quote I got from T&T that we can talk about....it's about Captain Grant....
"Okay, so I'm taking the time to log on and offer a post here, prior to the release of At World's End, to clear up a few things regarding Captain Teague. (Terry here, one of the screenwriters.)
First, the character played by Keith Richards in the film is Captain Teague. It's not Grant, it's not Grant Teague, and most emphatically it is *not* 'Teague Sparrow.'
Please, no more 'Captain Teague Sparrow!'
Second, I'm bemused by the description of Teague as 'Jack's Father' ... as if that is a done deal. How does anyone know that? Nobody has seen the film yet, and yet everyone presumes that's the role. I hate to put too fine a point on it, but the role isn't determined by the media or the fans.
Hey, fine if you want to believe what you want to believe, but at least acknowlege, it's not a sure thing!
Now this is probably the most interesting thing the authors have said for a very long time. Personally, I think Teague is Jack's father (at least that's what Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush have said), but I guess the point Terry wanted to make is that his name is NOT Sparrow. So I think we can guess "Sparrow" is a name Jack made up himself - which, of course, leaves us wondering what his actual surname is ..."
