Nothing here that will threaten my well being around this place and it may be of interest to some of you swabs. We are starting to move in the production company and the FGW building is filled to the gunnels with art work models and plans for Pirates 2. A few of the cast have been asked to be ready for February shoot dates so.... looks like the tide is coming back in mates. Yo Ho Ho

While not official to the whole wide world as of yet.... It is official at Warner Brothers. (and since I have no confideniality aggrement with THEM.. heh, heh, PIRATE!) There WILL be a re make of Errol Flynns *Captian Blood* on schedule for 2010. Start your casting guesses mates. At this point the seas are wide open as they have no one in mind.

Given the spotty history of sequel movies, purhaps the poc producers should revamp the script to have all new characters instead of the same old cast as before. Personally I'd find that more interesting, and it gives the writers the freedom to excape the constraints of the same type cast personas. If your doing a poc movie should'nt it be filmed in the caribbean? Being authentic to the local is, I would think, important to carry the atmosphere of the movie. I'm sure lots of money will be spent producing it but is it that wise to reprise esentially the same thing again? you know good pirate vs bad pirate.

"The Princess Bride" was recently mentioned in the Pirate Film thread, and as a novice student of fencing, this got me wundrin' - What other movies have truly remarkable fencing scenes? I've heard rumor that the French film "Le Viol du Vampire" actually has a semi-nude fencing scene, which must be quite the sight, but I've yet to confirm the rumor for m'self. So what are other contenders might anyone for greatest fencing scene?

Via the"Fore Topsail" from author James L. Nelson newsletter: "The History Channel will be airing a show called Real Pirates of the Caribbean on July 9 at 8 pm (check local listings. I’m not sure what that means, but that’s what people always say). The documentary will cover the true history of piracy in the Americas, and features commentary by a number of well-know pirate experts, including James L. Nelson. In an effort to explode the myths of piracy, the authorities were placed on a set dripping with every pirate cliche in the book, including but not limited to rum casks, chests overflowing with jewels and coins, and sundry cutlasses and other weapons. Despite that min…

If you were making a pirate film, what would your film be like? What kind of music would you use? Would it be a swashbuckling romance, a light-hearted comedy or a high seas drama? Who would your leading man and leading lady be? What would the plot be?

Tonight I was able to see a screening of the new STARZ TV series “Black Sails”. I’ve been eagerly watching the trailers on facebook and through a twist of luck I managed to see the pilot episode in a theater on the big screen! My first impressions: This series requires “thinking” as it weaves a tale of intrigue. With a director behind it like Michael Bay you know you’re going to see some explosions (and you do!) but the detailed backstory and sub plots might be a bit much for your average viewer. Not as much action as you come to expect from Michael Bay but this isn’t a bad thing as the pilot sets up the characters and lets you know a lot has yet to be revealed. T…

I really admire some of the members signature "graphics" here at the pub. Somebody has put some serious time into them... so I thought I would have a little contest. I will take nominations this week for the top signature graphics, and then post a poll next week. The biggest vote getter will get a prize from my treasure chest. I am not sure what yet, but it could be anything from a T-shirt, a set of original buttons, a book, fabric for a costume etc..... On second thought, I will say that the dead line for "entries" is 20 February. That will give some folks that have been meaning to get a signature graphic together a chance (and maybe some motivation?. Good luck …

POTC 2 & 3 Rumors I just made up... * Due to personal health reasons, Gore Verbinski (director of the original Pirates of the Caribbean film) has resigned as director for the remaining POTC sequels. In his place, Disney has hired Kevin Smith (of “Clerks / Jay & Silent Bob” fame) to take the helm. * After days of hiding from the media circuit, Orlando Bloom has finally admitted that he truly doesn’t know what the difference between a wood elf and a pirate is. * The title of the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie will not be "Dead Man's Chest" as so eagerly anticipated. Instead, the theatrical release will simply be known as "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Wh…

I figure instead of cluttering the Columbia's Revenge thread with typing about Airship Pyrates at Burning Man, I'd start a new thread... Later, if there is enough interest and as it get closer to Burning Man, I'll post this in the events thread... Last year, I went to Burning Man with the Bomb Bay Tea Co. and had a blast. But unlike Pyrates that plan what they are going to do for an event a year in advance,... So far, no one is posting anything about what we are going to do this year.... So to get the ball rolling, I'm starting to work on my camp gear for an Airship Pyrate... So some of this will be "How I made it" posts, and hopefully discussions with others that wan…
