Michael Bay is producing a Treasure Island prequel series for Starz
May. 3, 2012
Michael Bay and Starz will be unveiling a new television series entitled BLACK SAIL in 2014. The cable network ordered a full season of eight episodes for the pirate drama.
Michael Bay and Starz are going to go together like peanut butter and jelly. They both love three things: boobies, explosions, and action. The network has been the home to series SPARTACUS, TORCHWOOD, BOSS, and MAGIC CITY. All are very different genres but share the common thread of violence and nudity.
BLACK SAIL is being billed as a prequel to Treasure Island and is set twenty years before the book and follows a young John Silver when he joins the ranks of Captain Flint's rollicking band of pirates as they head to a pirate enclave, a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality,
So, much like SPARTACUS is a copy of 300 and MAGIC CITY is a copy of THE SOPRANOS and MAD MEN, I anticipate BLACK SAIL will be PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN with lots of naked ladies.
| Extra Tidbit: | SPARTACUS: Meh. BOSS: Very good. TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY: Decent. MAGIC CITY: I like it. You can't beat Jewish gangsters. |

Why bother?
Either way Bay is involved, so it'll be shit, because that's the rule.

This time instead of eavesdropping on Long John Silver by hiding inside a barrel of apples, Jim Hawkins will hide inside a barrel of big-titted dead hookers.

Literally.. it's a hell of a BLOODY SHOW! Sure there are other great shows e.g. Games of Thrones, Walking Dead which are also bloody fun but right now there's nothing on TV like Spartacus!
So just because it's a show with sword fighting and nudity then intermediately is the same as 300 and "MEH"? I believe the ratings tell a different story.
Actually I would say is closer to ROME, but that show ended quite some time now...

Reading your article one can assume you are against violence and nudity on TV, so it's Lazytown for you then?

As far as a prequel series to Treasure Island, I think it sounds dumb. I agree with whoever said just make it a standalone series without it being connected to Treasure Island.
