The unstoppable Ridley Scott has a new project in the works, and this time he’s brought Hugh Jackman along as his first mate. Together, the two are set to sail the seven seas in a new nautical adventure adapting one of the most beloved seafaring tales of all time. However, the film is looking for a movie studio to be its port of call.
According to reports, Jackman is set to star in a new adaptation of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel Treasure Island. Jackman will play iconic pirate Long John Silver in the film, which is looking for a studio home. Scott has traditionally worked with 20th Century, and did present the project to the studio; however, as 20th Century is now an arm of the Disney octopus, the studio did not want to release a pirate project that might compete with its blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which the studio intends to continue or reboot at some point in the future.
