 E3 2005: JACK SPARROW IN KINGDOM HEARTS 2

Our favourite drunk pirate is just one of the many new Disney characters in the upcoming sequel to the much-loved PS2 game, Kingdom Hearts...

9:14 Today we were made privy to a glorious trailer showcasing SquEnix's Kingdom Hearts 2, which will be available for PS2 this winter.

Characters making an appearance aside from the returning cast of Donald, Mickey, the Aladdin cast and that one with the big nose we can't remember (Pluto?), include a digitised Keira Knightley from Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Skellington from A Nightmare Before Christmas, Mulan characters and a very well-realised Johnny Depp as Cap'n Jack Sparrow.

On top of this the trailer hinted at a level of polish and passion arguably not seen in a Square Enix title since Final Fantasy X, including multiple mini-games and chase scenes to add variety to the hack and slash RPG fun.

Reports: Chow Yun-fat returns to native island in Hong Kong to promote tourism

Hollywood star Chow Yun-fat returned to his native island in Hong Kong to promote tourism, newspapers reported Wednesday.

"Lamma island has many scenic spots, such as the Cheung Po-tsai cave, the reopened Tin Hau temple, the seafood is delicious," Chow was quoted as saying in Ming Pao Daily News at a banquet hosted by the Hong Kong Tourism Board Tuesday.

Cheung Po-tsai is a famous Chinese pirate. Chow plays Cheung in the upcoming "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" _ the sequel to the 2003 hit, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."

Chow also celebrated his 50th birthday early, which falls on Wednesday, with banquet guests singing "Happy Birthday" in Japanese, English and Chinese, Apple Daily reported.

Chow also said he struggled with learning how to ride a horse for an upcoming movie, Ming Pao reported.

"I learned horse riding with 7 or 8-year-olds. They're very brave, they learn more quickly than I do. When I first started it was like riding on a boat, swaying. Now I can manage to command the horse to make a few steps," Chow said.
