John Malkovich is Blackbeard in NBC's 'Crossbones' (Trailer)
The great John Malkovich makes his recurring network television debut in NBC's Blackbeard drama on May 30th in Crossbones. The legendary character actor known to chew some scenery plays the infamous pirate on a mission to find treasure with the help of a clever physician (Richard Coyle).
Neil Cross, the creator of the brilliant BBC series Luther, impressed Malkovich with his script and got him to commit to a network series for the first time in his long-storied and varied career. The show will share the seas with Starz' Black Sails about pirates also scouring New Providence Island for treasure.
In this just released trailer for the show it seems there'll be plenty of drama, intrigue and action. Check it out:
It's 1715 on the Bahamian island of Santa Campana, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard (John Malkovich), reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown and part marauder's paradise, this is a place like no other on Earth - and a mounting threat to international commerce.
Teach/Blackbeard has set his sights on the world's first longitude chronometer, a device that will change society, sea-trade and global business. In a massive attack on an English vessel, Blackbeard attempts to steal the device; however, Tom Lowe, an English spy working undercover as the ship's surgeon, destroys the chronometer before it can fall into his hands. Taken as prisoner to Santa Campana Island, Lowe must find a way to reassemble the precious device, all while trying to unfold Blackbeard's plan... a plan that includes a threat to the English throne even worse than pirates.
From the award-winning creator of "Luther," Neil Cross, and award-winning executive producers Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald ("Gladiator," "Men in Black") comes an extraordinary action adventure with an unexpected moral center where one can't be sure whether the pirates or the British crown are the villains. One-hour drama.
