roytheodd Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 (source)Pirates pegged for CBS The buc stops at the Eye in '07 By JOSEF ADALIAN Shiver me timbers: CBS and Mark Burnett are hitting the high seas, teaming up for a pirate-themed reality adventure skein. Eye has greenlit production on approximately 13 episodes of the untitled project, which begins casting shortly with an eye on a summer 2007 premiere. Details of the project are being kept under wraps. What is known is that the action in the skein will take place on both land and at sea, suggesting the presence of ships and islands as central characters in the unscripted drama. It's also expected the skein will incorporate traditional reality elements such as competitions and elimination ceremonies. (Perhaps losers will have to walk the plank?) However, one person familiar with the details of the skein cautions the show will not simply be "Survivor" at sea, and will vary from Burnett's original Eye skein in many ways. A CBS rep confirmed the order and the pirate theme, but declined to discuss specifics. Burnett could not be reached for comment over the weekend. Mark Burnett Prods. is wrapping up its AOL-based competition "Gold Rush" this week, while continuing a Web-based promotion for "Flushed Away." Company's slate also includes "Survivor," "The Apprentice," "The Contender," "Martha" and the upcoming Steven Spielberg collaboration "On the Lot." Eye has not yet announced whether Burnett's "Rock Star" will return for a third season. I'll certainly check out the show. Don't know if I'll be a loyal viewer though.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I want to see them swab the deck and eliminations are done the drunken the sailor way. What do you do with a drunken sailor....... ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.

JohnnyTarr Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 done and done. I would do that. I just hope that it is just not a political thing like Survivor. It sounds very interesting though.

hurricane Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 It is a grand adventure - but you have to hav 7 weeks available to be on location next March and April. A casting assistant came through the Florida Pirate Fair and spoke to us. It's great for those without a job or have extremely flexible working arrangements... -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Rogue Mermaid Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I downloaded the application and was all for giving it a try, until I found out that you need a passport just to apply. I don't have one and I can't afford to drop $97 on a passport I might never use again. Especially since this is just the first round when they are taking a zillion applications to narrow down to 400. I would be more positive about it if there wasn't so few paychecks before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sage Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Ahoy! A friend of mine at Mark Burnett Productions asked me to pass on more info: "CBS and Mark Burnett Productions are currently casting a reality show which gives people the opportunity to be Pirates for a month while competing for prizes and cash! The casting director is searching for outgoing, strong-willed adventure seekers who are physically and mentally adept and adaptable to new environments. They also look for people with interesting lifestyles, jobs, backgrounds, histories and personalities. Everyone who applies should be ready to have the time of their lives! If you are interested in applying, you should be completely comfortable living on land and sea, as you will most likely be living on a combination of a boat and an island in a remote location for about 30 days. While on the adventure, you will be competing for a pot of up to $1 million dollars along with other booty and prizes! Anyone interested must be at least 21 years old and be a US citizen eligible for a US passport. If you are interested in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, please send an e-mail with some basic information about yourself (such as name, age, occupation, hometown, etc) to piratescasting@hotmail.com . Please be sure to mention you were referred by Captain Sage and Pyracy.com. With the referral, you will be able to apply directly to the Casting Director rather than blindly sending in a tape and application to CBS. This project is very time-sensitive and applications are due very quickly. If you are interested, don't hesitate in contacting piratescasting@hotmail.com as soon as possible. Remember, they are looking for people with great water skills and big personalities. Anybody who can sail, fish, row, or swim has an advantage in this competition. If you know somebody else who would be great, please feel free to pass this on to them.
