    Rob Cohen Takes To The High Seas For Modern Pirate Movie!

    DateWed, January 14, 2009

    Rob Cohen has not had the best of runs lately, after his success in the early 2000's with 'The Fast and the Furious' and 'xXx' he has not really had a hit since, his summer 2005 offering 'Stealth' was a critical and commercial bomb, and last years 'Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' failed to make it's budget back domestically but had a strong international run.

    Well despite this /film is reporting via 'Production Weekly' that he has a new film in the pipeline, from a script by Tony Puryea called 'The Sea Artist'. It's a tale of modern pircacy and is apparently picking up good buzz. Personally I think this has potential, Ive liked a few of Cohen's movies (The Skulls, Daylight. The Fast & the Furious) and I am sure this will be in the action thriller mould, there hasn't been a modern pirate movie of any note so this is a fresh chance for Cohen.

    No word on a start date or casting yet, or even what studio may pick it up, but Cohen gets his projects made so bank on seeing this one at some point.
