Sea of Thieves, Movie?!

@quitespace1450

You think Rare is the one making it? 😂

I will be very surprised if it happens.

To buy the option to make a movie would be relatively cheap - making the movie not so much.
It would be very derivative of Pirates Of The Caribbean.

Might work as a Pirates Of The Caribbean spin off.

Marvel producer, links to Disney. Can they get Johnny Depp back?

A million Alpaca's was it not?

I think this movie could be a big hit, honestly, and can see it going in a couple ways.

1.) and most likely; the film is an adaptation of the Athena's Fortune novel. I think this is most likely because the story itself sets up lore for both how Ramsey/the Pirate Lord discovered and chartered the Sea of Thieves, but also how Larinna made her way to it as well. The tales that interweave on a chapter-by-chapter basis work nicely, and would fit as a film nicely I think.

I even came up with some fan-castings of the characters, though you'll notice there are many Black Sails cast members (that show is so peak):

Crew of the Magpie’s Wing

• Ramsey: Mark Ryan or Toby Stephens. Both from Black Sails as Gates and Cpt. Flint - Toby also narrates the Athena’s Fortune Novel and would kill it again.

• Rathbone: Ralph Fiennes

• Shan - Mads Mikkelsen

• Mercia - Penelope Cruz or Michelle Rodriguez

Crew of the Unforgiven

• Adelaide: Zoe Saldana

• Faizel: Dan Fogler

• Little Nedd: Tom Hopper

• Larinna: Jenna Ortega or Isabela Merced

Supporting characters/villains

• Gideon Graymarrow: Zach McGowan

• Eli Slate: Toby Stephens (I know lol, he’d be good in either main or supporting or Steven John Ward (Mihawk from Netflix One Piece)

• Briggsy: Jessica Parker Kennedy

• Sticher Jim: Anton Lesser

• Kraken (voice): Jack Black (haha)'

Conversely, they could go the route of an entirely new story, in a brand new character's eyes, as they make their way to the Sea of Thieves and go on an adventure of their own. Admittedly I am more hopeful of the first option.

@pc-monkfish How crazy would it be though, if Jack Sparrow returning to the big screen (even as a cameo) was not through a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, but Sea of Thieves? I'd go crazy, honestly.

And honestly? I could see it happening, since Disney allowed Rare to use the IP/Characters in their partnership.

My big cope is that we get some Tall Tales leading up to this movie.

OH and I keep forgetting; for a game that is "dying," it's odd to see them try to make a movie about it.

I think it would need to be a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
Bigger IP.
Johnny Depp would be definitely need to be cast to be viable. Even if it was just passing the baton to a younger generation.

Using Sea Of Thieves would be a neat way of getting access to a ton of lore, production design and potential story lines.

Honestly it’s a smart move. Rare probably isn’t the one footing the bill here, this is a Microsoft decision to invest in their IPs outside of game. It’s a strong signal that they’re not going to all of a sudden wrap up Sea of Thieves. However, it’s also kind of a decision that makes me question why excess resources aren’t somehow handed to development. Is it that game dev doesn’t need it for game dev? Or does Rare / Microsoft just make money off the IP? Who foots the bill for production etc. Very curious.

Really hoping Jack Black will be cast as the pirate lord
