1715. The Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean is at its apex. The former British colony of New Providence Island is now lawless territory, controlled by the most notorious pirate captains in history. The most feared among them is CAPTAIN FLINT.
But as the British Navy returns to these waters, threatening to exterminate Flint and his crew, another side of him emerges. Driven by deep, complicated, even romantic motives, Flint allies himself with the formidable ELEANOR GUTHRIE, daughter of the local smuggling kingpin who turns the pirates’ loot into profits. Together, they forge a plan to hunt the ultimate prize, and by winning it, stave off reclamation of their home to ensure their survival.
Arrayed against them are a series of opponents: rival captains, jealous of Flint's power; Eleanor's father, whose ambitions for the island conflict with his daughter’s; and a young sailor, JOHN SILVER, recently recruited onto Flint's crew, who will somehow manage to constantly undermine his captain’s agenda. Coming in January.
At first I was like: "YAY! A tv show with pirates and from Starz too!", but then that fucking name appeared in the middle of the screen: "MICHAEL BAY" and I just went "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!".
For a second I thought that was Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont) in the picture, which would have been better that great. But it still looks very promising
And we haven't had a pirates series yet (that I know of ), so it's original at least. A prequel to Treasure Island is a smart move, we know the important characters from the go and how the story will more or less unfold (like with Spartacus) but it still gives them enough freedom to include blood & tits as everyone kinda expects
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
