Spielberg To Adapt Crichton's last novel "Pirate Latitudes"
Thu, August 27, 2009
I'm a big fan of Spielberg but to be honest neither Tin Tin or Harvey interest me very much, so it was with great enthusiasm I read about this proposed pirate movie that the mighty beard may be making.
USA Today Reports:
The men who brought dinosaurs back to life in Jurassic Park are teaming up again, though it's a bittersweet reunion since one of them is no longer here.
Steven Spielberg is developing a film out of a posthumously published novel by the late Michael Crichton—Pirate Latitudes, an adventure story set off the coast of Jamaica in 1665.
Screenwriter David Koepp, who adapted Crichton's novels for Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, also has signed on to create the script. Spielberg plans to produce and is considering directing.
DreamWorks Studios describes the novel, set for release Nov. 24, as the story of "a daring plan to infiltrate Port Royal, one of the world's richest and most notorious cities, and raid a Spanish galleon filled with treasure."
"It's a mission movie, and we see it through the prism of what it might have been like to live on the island during that time," says Stacey Snider, Spielberg's partner in DreamWorks and the company's co-chair and CEO.
A Spielberg pirate movie and an adaption of the last book of the late great Michael Crichton? ? Double win in my view. The idea that this will be a swashbuckling adventure but also something of a Pirate "Heist" movie really appeals to me. I'll be picking the book up for sure and here's hoping the wheels of production move quickly on this and roll right over Harvey.
