Written by Robert Chapin

It is the late 1600's, an age when pirates ruled the seas with a bloodthirsty reputation. Led by their captain, MORGAN LASSITER, a band of pirates have captured an English crew and are rowing them ashore to a remote tropical island. Among the captured English crew is CAPTAIN EDWARDS and his beautiful daughter ELIZABETH. Also among the English crew is ANDREW SELKIRK.  An outcast among his own crew, he is the only son of an infamous and legendary pirate. Upon reaching the island, Morgan explains that a vast treasure is buried somewhere on the island, and that Captain Edwards knows where it is. Edwards refuses to talk, forcing Morgan's men to brutally torture and kill members of the English crew. Andrew manages to escapes the pirates, and soon becomes the only hope of rescuing the English crew, along with his secret love, Elizabeth, before time runs out. In an age when heroes became legends, he's one man against impossible odds, fighting the most treacherous villians history has ever known. His only chance is his skill as an expert swordsman, and faith in his own PIRATE'S BLOOD.

   

MANHUNT
(in development)

The ultimate conflict in the war between the sexes...

When your average, single noncommittal male CHRISTOPHER BENNETT is drawn into a brief but passionate relationship with the alluring KATHARINE, three simple words "I love you" will mean more than a testimony of commitment and affection, they will mean the difference between life and death. When Katharine finds evidence of Christopher's past unresolved relationships, she accuses him of lying to her when he told her those three simple words. Christopher only makes matters worse when he tries to remedy the situation with another three words, just as familiar, and just as deadly -- "let's be friends". Determined to teach Chris a lesson he won't forget, Kathy holds Chris to the one promise he ever made to her -- a picnic in the desert. In the middle of the harsh and lifeless desert, Kathy suddenly produces a shotgun instead of sandwiches informing Chris "this ain't gonna be no picnic". She then produces a bullet for every girl Chris ever slept with, lied to, or cheated on. This is how many chances he's got, he's got sixty seconds, start running... While blaming Chris for every atrocity ever commited towards womankind, Kathy tracks Chris across the endless desert -- the perfect arena for the battle of the sexes where the greatest equalizer is a single shotgun. In this action/adventure desert chase, dramatic tension is combined with a near-lethal dose of black comedy as Chris must somehow come to term with the truth of Kathy's accusations, face the reality of past relationships, find his way out of the desert, and end this deadly game called "MANHUNT. "
