Capt. Flint Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 TalesoftheSevenSeas... I LOVE the idea of Kate Winslet being the fem fatale in a pirate flick. Personally I also wouldn't mind seeing Lucy Lawless in one also, i'm just not sure about her being a heroine or not. Then again, it would be too much type casting to make her a tough pirate. But,oooohhh, she sure could do a heck of a job at it. I bet Diane Lane could make a great pirate lass. As far as villians go, who would be better than Christopher Lloyd. I think he would be an incredible pirate fiend. Liam Neeson would be a fairly good pirate also I think..... just one pirates opinion.... aaaarrrgghhhhh.... The Capt.

Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Hey, not a bad direction there, Captain Flint! Some people we hadn't even considered. And I would just die to see Liam Neeson as a pirate.. purrrr "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scupper Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I think I have a tale to make in to a movie. An Irish lad of near 17 sails aboard a ship for a far away land to reclaim an estate left to his mother after her family's passing. On the way me are met with intrigue, deciept, greed and death. The lad must set sail to live. he grows into manhood and plots his revenge. After a shipwreck in high seas and a battle with slavers. the lad comandeers a vessel and becomes a pirate. In the end he seeks his revenge and goes on to live his adventures. throw in a rousing classical score, raging sea battle and a few all out hand to hand battles with a duel at the end. What say ye mates! Scupper "That's the navy for you. Rum in the scuppers today. Blood in the scuppers tomorrow."Thrist is a shameless disease. So here's to a shameful cure!"Loyalty, honesty and directness are traits I admire. Insecurity, snipes and disrespect I will not tolerate in the least."

moricktowain Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 If I were making a pirate film, I'd be doing a few things: 1. For the ladies, and the gay men, who see the film, plenty of male pirates wearing shirtless, mabey with vests. For the men, and the lesbian women, lots of wenches! 2. PLENTY of swordfighting. 3. A better display of life on board a ship while it's at sea, including showing some things they might have done to pass the time. 4. A scene where the pirates go to an island to dig up buried treasure. Just my two cents on the topic.

The WildHair'd Wench Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 As for my script. Well it would be the Romantic story of a French noble man, banished from home and travels to the Carribean. He meets up with some Pirates and joins their Crew. And then it would just be one Big Epic Battle Scene. Especially when his 1/2 brother Captain in the Royal Navey comes to bring him home. My story involves a French nobleman as well, however, he's more of an adventurer, by choice because he wanted to see the world. I think he is a cross between Oded Fahr as far as looks and Johnny Depp as far as personality for he's pretty flamboyant, but he's a very fierce fighter. The music would be more 1492 - I loved that soundtrack. I would sit at my computer writing listening to it in my headphones just to put me in the mood. I'm hoping to be done with it by Christmas. The story's written, just going through and correcting all the grammer and making sure everything gels time period-wise. I've been working on it since 1991 because I've added scenes taken scenes out. I probably have about 600 pages so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridget Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Mine would probably be a trilogy; The first movie: A group of overtly cute, silly pirates, with a few more serious members, battle against a group of piratical aristocrats, whom are attempting to raid the same city they were after, the aristocrats however are only after a legendary treasure in the towns museum, which the heroes agree to protect, for a price. The second: Our heroes falled their mission, and the aristocrats (hereafter aris.) stole the treasure, after looting everything they could in the panic, they set off to get a little payback, however they are caught in a storm, and become stranded on an island. While repairing the ship, a few of the stars go to explore the island, and find an ancient ruin, after navigating it, and fighting a particularly nasty machine golom, they find a relic similar to the one they lost earlier, they quickly seize it, and return to the ship, which has been repaired. Of course, their is more to it, and various scenes staring the aris. fill in some of the backstory of the treasures their after, and that the aris. already possess two. The Third: Unable to find the aris., the heroes decide to just raid a city to restock the ship, as they leave the ship however, the the crowd begins to burst in to flames, and one of the higher ranking (and most bishounen ) aris. emerges, bragging about the power of his relic. Shocked that he could do something so horrible (their raiders, but goody-goodys at heart. ) the pirates attack him, but he repels them with a wall of fire. In short order, he captures the entire ship, and reclaims their relic. The heroes escape their cell on the aris.'s ship, and battle through it, getting to the captains quarters. Inside the aris. Leader is gloating over his treasures, believing himself to be the most powerful being on Earth. Now being more familiar with magical attacks, the heroes fight against him, and manage to hold their own, Just as it seems they have the upper hand, he collapses to the ground, the evil bishounen from earlier calmly takes the relics from his hands and, after laughing a bit and explaining the true nature of the relics, fuses them together, and jabs the resulting gem into his forehead. After this, the heroes and aris. all begin to hallucinate their worst fears, deepest secrets, etc, and in the end face them, providing more backstory for the characters with less screen time, and developing some symphathy for the Aris. whom were just as appaled as the heroes over the evil bishies murder spree. When they break free of the illusions, the two crew team up and battle against the evil bishounen, whom holds his own quite well, but is eventuall overpowered. With a flash, he vanishes, and the roof of the room begins to cave in. The cast returns to the heroes ship, and watch in horror as the aris. ship morphs and collapses, becoming a gigantic mass with a huge version of the evil bishies face. At this point theirs a massive ship battle, with lots of cannons, and the bishie ship also uses organic claws, and a tri-elemental beam. After the battle, the evil bishie is destroyed, and the relics crumble to dust. I would also want more importance added to the relics, destroying them may have done more damage than good, perhaps throwing time or nature out of wack.

Redd Oktober Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Not sure what my story would be...but I would certainly try to give the art direction the look of being ripped right out of a Howard Pyle or N.C.Wyeth painting!

Peggy The Pirate Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 My film would involve Me, my fair galleon... a load of treasure and a curse. The makings of every great pirate film.

Tiny Tillie Sparks Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 *fires off cannon salute!* Greetings, sea dogs! I'm new here, as you can tell by having never seen hide nor hair o' me afore now, but I wanted to play. I'd like to see Keifer Sutherland (looking like he did in Disney's 3 Musketeers) vs. Antonio Banderas as the villian. And I bet they'd be okay in a movie, too. For wenches, I want Michelle Rodriguez and Eliza Dushku. Their tough and I bet the guys wouldn't cry about having to look at them, either. Then I'd really love a score consisting of late '80's-early '90's rock songs, but with an orchestra. A classical rendition of Welcome to the Jungle or ...And Justice For All would be undeniably kick ass. At least, I think it's undeniable - any objections?

Mr.Bubbles Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 i'd say that Rage Against the Machine and Led Zepplin would make for a nice muscial score but only if it was a modern day pirate movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
