The Pirate Hunter Movie

[Gyp The Blood]

I've consistenly seen "unconfirmed" rumors that Nick Cassavetes (John Cassavetes' son) will be adapting and directing an film of Richard Zacks' Captain Kidd novel, The Pirate Hunter.

Has anyone else seen any conclusive word on this project?

I really enjoyed the book, and I think a film, in the right hands, could be one to look out for.

I also remember Cassavetes' name in connection with a film about Blackbeard, in particular Maynard's hunting & eventual defeat of Teach.

If anyone has any information on either of these projects, I'd love to hear it.

Hven't of of none jus' yet mate. however if you get wind of sucha rumor to be true I would like to know, give me a pm. I just finished readin that particular book meself and would interseted into seen a movie , being of course, such a movie would follow the book pretty close like. I have not read a Pirate novel before....That one being my first... and if it to be as true as I would be havin to believe, then it would suit me fine to stake claim here, being as i cannot find the proper thread to be doin' so, that If I had choose a pirate that I would be, It would be havin to be Robert Culliford, as according to Richard, He escaped the hangsmans noose to live a free man, after bieng a Pirate and stole William Kidd's ship not once, but twice, and then testified against the very man whom to which he had intentionally pirated., to save his own skin, and who also pled guilty to Piracy, but was allowed to go free on a technicallity, so to speak, after he testified against William Kidd, whom to which Richard Zacks claims to have proof of his innocence, as do others proclaim William Kidd was framed. that book sir, would indeed make an eexcellent movie.
