'Black Sails': Trailer For A Prequel To 'Treasure Island'

This new series from STARZ is set to air next year. The eight-episode first season takes place twenty years before Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic 'Treasure Island' and centres on Captain Flint and his crew. Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent) directs the first episode.

Flint, the most brilliant and feared pirate captain of his day, takes on a fast-talking young addition to his crew who goes by the name of John Silver, who has stolen a map to a Spanish Treasure galleon that Flint is after. Threatened with extinction on all sides, they fight against the British Royal Navy 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.
