Blackbeard is a 2006 American adventure-drama television miniseries based on the pirate Blackbeard, directed by Kevin Connor from a screenplay written by Bryce Zabel.[1] It premiered on Hallmark Channel on June 17, 2006. The miniseries was shot on location in Thailand and the town of New Providence was built on a coconut plantation, and includes many factual names and places, but it is essentially a fictional story since Blackbeard's most notable exploits took place in North Carolina.[2]

Plot


In the first quarter of the 18th century, Blackbeard, otherwise Edward Teach was seen as the most notorious and dangerous seafaring pirate of all, plying his trade around the West Indies and the eastern coast of England’s North American colonies in his ship Queen Anne's Revenge.[3] Blackbeard wreaks havoc looking for Captain Kidd's treasure, and his dark presence causes controversy in the port town of New Providence, especially for Governor Charles Eden and his adopted daughter Charlotte, who is being wooed by Lieutenant Robert Maynard.[3]


Cast



Production


Despite being about the miniseries, the serial is largely a remake of Captain Blood (1935). It was filmed by Living Films on location around Seattle, Washington,[3] and in Suratthani and Nakhon Si Thammarat in southern Thailand.[citation needed]


Home media


It was released on DVD by Echo Bridge Entertainment on July 11, 2006. It was later released in an international DVD edition re-titled Pirates: The True Story of Blackbeard, though by the writers own admission little of the screenplay was actually true.[4]
