Spielberg + Crichton = Hit!
This is gonna be HUGE!
Dreamworks has purchased the rights to the late Michael Crichton's final manuscript entitled Pirate Latitudes, a film set in 1665 that centers around an plan to infiltrate Port Royal, Jamaica, one of the world's richest cities, and raid a Spanish galleon filled with riches.
Ocean's Eleven meets Pirates Of the Caribbean = $$$$$$$$
"Michael Crichton was one of our greatest storytellers, who expanded all of our imaginations with his books, films and television," said Steven Spielberg, who plans to produce and possibly direct the project.
Crichton completed the novel right before his passing last November - and former collaborator David Koepp will adapt it for the big screen.
Spielberg, Crichton and Koepp have teamed up on several acclaimed productions, including Jurassic Park and The Lost World.

Re: bonesneil – hahahah wow
The big question is:
Who will Spielberg cast as Captain Edward Hunter?
A certified box office moneymaker
or a well hung unknown?
I HATE JEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…e=mc2 h20 1+1=2. Is the math lesson over yet Perez?
Noooo. Spielberg needs fresher material than pirate lore.
Re: KDIZZLL – It's lovely to be Jewish, asshole.
Jurassic Park is one of my all time favorites so this should be interesting…
Anything Steven and Michael have done I've seen. And, I will see this. He died so young. RIP Michael.
You couldn't keep me away from any of the historical (even if fictional) period pieces. Pirates were the rock stars of their day.
Re: KDIZZLL – I'm not Jewish, but even I know you simply can't tar all Jews with the same brush. Jewish ideologies and practices vary as much as say, Christians ideologies do, from Christian right rednecks to quiet, peace loving moderates. Not all (very few) Muslims are terrorists, too. Perhaps you disagree with Zionism? Quit skimming the hate-surface, educate yourself further, and see what you come up with. Go, Speilberg. This looks great.
Yes, as long as 90% of it isn't CGI
Yes, I'll see it! Jurassic Park is my all-time favourite movie and one of my favourite books! Michael Crichton was an amazing writer!
R.I.P. Michael Crichton.
Sounds like a big-budget box office dump. Sure, it may sell tickets from the boomers, but I bet you anything it'll be so overproduced and tepid that it'll have no replay value much like all other movies from mid 90s - present. All they care about these days is suckering people into wasting their money on opening weekend.
They did the series ER as well. Not many people know, even though he is listed in the credits, that Speilberg was one of the creators and producers of the show.
Re: KDIZZLL – So with all of the wonderful input and insight you could give everyone on this blog site, you choose racial hate. It's easy to be a hater and hide behind a computer - huh?
hell yes!
i'm DEFINITELY going to watch it.

You can just go die, you little piece of shit.
