Author of “On Stranger Tides” talks Pirates
As many of you know, when we saw the new title card for the upcoming Pirates movie, a lot of us were surprised that it seemed to be the name of a book that was about - hold your breath here - the Fountain of Youth.
At long last, we get some response back from the writer of the novel Tim Powers, as well as the writer of the screenplay Terry Rossio. Apparently Tim Powers was under a gag order not to tell anyone that he'd optioned the book, but now reveals that Disney bought the rights to the book three or four years ago. He explains that his tale of Blackbeard's journey really doesn't overlap in any way with Depp's Jack Sparrow character, so that part will probably be changed, but he imagined the Fountain itself and some of the storyline could be used. He also said that Barbossa was somewhat more like Blackbeard.
Terry Rossio said he'd had an idea a while back about Blackbeard and a journey to the Fountain of Youth, so they had to buy the book to make that ready. There's no word yet as to how the story will shape up for our heroes Sparrow and Barbossa.
I hope this time the adventure's a bit more light-hearted. I liked the first movie best, though I had no problem with the other two. We'll keep you up to date on this whenever there's news.
