                                 Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Broken into two parts, the epic Blackbeard tells the tale of this famed pirate's 
travails through the South Seas, beginning in 1717. Blackbeard begins with Royal 
Navy Lieutenant Robert Maynard (Mark Umbers) vowing to capture Blackbeard (Angus 
McFayden), captain of the Queen Anne, in order to make the South Seas safer. 
Maynard goes undercover to get hired as Queen Anne's navigator, but not before 
falling in love with Charlotte (Jessica Chastain), the daughter of corrupt 
governor of West Indies' New Providence, Charles Eden (Richard Chamberlain). As 
Blackbeard's crew embark on a treasure hunt, Charles Eden is exposed as being a 
pirate in his own right, as he heads the campaign to purchase stolen booty from 
various villains. He also plots to kill Charlotte, whose 21st birthday will 
qualify her for an inheritance that Eden has selfishly hoarded. All the while, 
Maynard works towards busting Blackbeard, exposing himself to multiple 
life-threatening situations. Accurately rendered, this dramatized biography of a 
world-famous pirate feels darker than other pirate films, due to its inclusion 
of violent pirate clich┌s such as people walking planks, and rum-drunk pirates 
torturing each other. Blackbeard's melodramatic romance between Maynard and 
Charlotte detracts from the film's depiction of hard-edged pirate life, but 
there is enough piracy here to please.
