Looking to stay savvy on Disney’s upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean sequel On Stranger Tides? If so, grab yourself a bottle of rum, kick off your boots, and prick up your ears as Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) spills on what the series has got up its puffy shirt sleeve next:

The mermaids Sparrow mentions are played by French actress Astrid Berges-Frisbey and Australian model-turned-actress Gemma Ward. The film also costars Ian McShane as the pirate Blackbeard, Penelope Cruz as Blackbeard’s daughter, and Geoffry Rush as Captain Barbossa.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is directed by Rob Marshall, the man behind such lavish productions as Memoirs of a Geisha, Nine, and the Oscar-winning musical Chicago.

Captain Jack Sparrow is one of Clatto’s 12 Heroes That Won’t Make You Feel Like An Asshole.

After its plans to showcase nine minutes of Piranha 3-D carnage at last week’s Comic-Con was sunk by event organizers, Dimension Films and director Alexandre Aja opted to instead premiere the gruesome footage at the Regal Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego.

A bootleg video of the teaser-trailer was smuggled out in the folds of a Comic-Con attendee’s gut and has now been leaked online. Now, be warned, the clip features numerous spoilers. But, it also provides a glimpse of Wild Wild Girls Kelly Brook and Riley Steele making out under water … nude. As Jigsaw would say, make your choice.

Check it out:

When the trailer screening was over, Aja was joined on stage for a Q&A session by stars Elisabeth Shue, Jerry O’Connell, Kelly Brook, Adam Scott, Hostel director-turned-actor Eli Roth, “Vampire Diaries” player Steven R. McQueen, Paul Scheer, and porn star Riley Steele.

Piranha 3-D centers on a spring break town terrorized by schools of prehistoric piranha set free by an underwater earthquake. Aja describes the film as a technically updated throwback to to the sensationalistic 3-D films many of us grew up with, promising a gratuitous amount of blood and boobs.

The film costars Ving Rhames (Day of the Dead), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Richard Dreyfus (Jaws), Dina Meyer (Saw IV), and Jessica Szohr (House at the End of the Drive).

Catch Piranha 3-D in theaters on Aug. 20.
