Dreamworks has greenlighted another pirate movie to the big screen but this time it’s not a sequel to Disney’s “Pirates of the Carribean” series. Since Disney’s “Carribean” trilogy is all done and making no more sequels, Dreamworks decided to try to keep the pirate movies going.

Dreamworks will be bringing the legendary pirate “Blackbeard” to the big screen which is supposedly based on a true story. David Franzoni who wrote the films “Amistad” and “Gladiator” will be writing the script for “Blackbeard”.

No leading role for “Blackbeard” and no director has been signed yet, just writers and producers.

I never liked the “Pirates of the Carribean” trilogy. I hope they make “Blackbeard” a better pirate film.

Make “Blackbeard” a bloody and violent film instead of a family popcorn flick.

Who should direct and star in “Blackbeard”? I’d say give it to director Ridley Scott since Franzoni already worked with him in “Gladiator”, Ridley would make a great pirate movie.

As for who plays the role of Blackbeard himself, I’d say give it Hugh Jackman!
