Filming for Pirates of the Caribbean 5 could be delayed, all thanks to a bit of monkey business in Australian quarantine.
One of the film's crucial characters, Jack the capuchin monkey, will be stuck in quarantine for more than a month unless the movie's producers can convince local authorities to relax their strict biosecurity laws.
Jack, who is the cheeky and bad-tempered offsider to Geoffrey Rush's character Captain Hector Barbossa, has appeared in all four previous Pirates instalments and is usually played by two specially trained monkeys.
