BLACK SAILS NYCC Trailer Arrives
We’ve got the new trailer for Black Sails from New York Comic Con. The show is based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and follows Captain Flint and his crew. Since it is produced by Michael Bay I am sure there will be some explosive moments during the series, which has already gotten a greenlight for the second season. It airs on Starz in January 2014. Watch the trailer above and read on for more details.
Black Sails Press Release:
The eight-episode first season of “Black Sails” centers on the tales of Captain Flint and his men, and takes place twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic “Treasure Island.” Toby Stephens (Die Another Day) stars as Flint, the most brilliant and most feared pirate captain of his day, who takes on a fast-talking young addition to his crew who goes by the name John Silver. Threatened with extinction on all sides, they fight for the survival of New Providence Island, the most notorious criminal haven of its day – a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality.
“Black Sails” is executive produced by Michael Bay (Transformers, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) and his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, producers on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and Nightmare on Elm Street (2009). The series was created by showrunner and executive producer Jon Steinberg (creator “Jericho,” “Human Target”) and co-executive producer Robert Levine (“Touch”). It has already been greenlit for a second season.
