Thanks everyone for your suggestions so far. It's nice to see you're all on the same page :)lol! Just so you guys know, I do want to find a happy middle ground between a complete fantasy with dandy boys running around and a realistic portrayal of pyrates. It's going to have some fantasy elements (with the success of POTC the investors would make me walk the plank if I didn't), but the pyrates themselves will be real mean and nasty, which all of you agree is a good thing. And a quick FYI to the guys and girls that mentioned it, I HATE the MTV style of fighting too. This is my third lower-budget action movie, and I'm all about using good stunt guys and letting the camera hang back and catch the action. Not sure how I feel about the "slutty" pirate girls. I'm leaning more towards making them a little more Anne Bonnay than a bunch of pirate wenches. But, maybe it will be a little bit of both. We're shooting in early March in Southern California. We haven't cast everyone yet, so keep those PMs coming. Thanks again, Leigh

I've just begun preproduction on a feature film about pirates. Since you guys are the core audience, I was just curious as to what you would like to see. I have plenty of ideas myself, as I am a huge pirate movie fan, but wanted to give you guys a chance to chime in before I start shooting. Thanks, Leigh Scottjava script:emoticon(' ')

So, I finally got the money to make the pirate movie I always wanted to. Not a lot of money, but enough to make something really cool. I'm based in Los Angeles but can move if need be. I need boats, actors and locations. Any ideas or help would be great! Thanks, Leigh Scott
