Black Sails

"Pirates of the Caribbean" trifft auf "Die Schatzinsel" produziert von Michael Bay

Starttermin: ab Januar 2014 auf Starz

1715. The Golden Age of Piracy. New Providence is a lawless island, controlled by history’s most notorious pirate captains. The most feared - 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.

Wie der Trailer zeigt, bietet die Serie zumindest eine ganze Menge für die Augen. Ob "Black Sails" auch mit anderen Qualitäten (nein, Braini, damit sind nicht nur Brüste gemeint ) aufwarten und Starz eine derart kostspielig aussehende Serie unterhalten kann, wird sich zeigen müssen.
