Project based on Michael Crichton's final novel
Never having read the novel I would assume the story involves a supra genius historian who has a diabolical plan to create a time machine to bring murdering, pillaging, raping, evil bastards from the late 17th and early 18th century and employ them in a family friendly amusement park ride. Hmmmmm.... But something goes terribly wrong and the murdering, pillaging, raping, evil bastards end up murdering, raping and pillaging. Was I close? Will Dustin Hoffman play a pirate captain.
Okay - I read the synopis at MichaelCrichton.com and it sounds like a pretty standard buccaneer tale. While the title is Pirate Latitudes, I think the main character would be considered a buccaneer or a privateer and not a pirate. Might have to add this to my reading list.
I was just thinking the other day that the story of François l'Olonnais would make a great movie. It would probably need to be directed by Quentin Tarantino to really put a shine on the murdering, pillaging, raping, torturing, evil bastard.
