The psychological thriller (tentatively titled "Ghost Ship") is based on the story of the 1921 wreck of the ill-fated, five-masted schooner, Carroll A. Deering, often called "The Ghost Ship of the Outer Banks." Word on the street is that Johnny Depp and Robert De Niro have both been cast in leading roles.

Shooting is scheduled to begin sometime in the fall, and islanders are already excited about the possibility of being cast as extras.

This month's Ocracoke Newsletter is the story of the Ocracoke Orgy. You can read it here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news032115.htm.
The link was quite enlightening. Both Robert DeNero and Johnny Depp donating their salaries to Ocracoke Alive would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs long as Johnny Depp doesn't revert to his Captain Jack Sparrow mode, this will work out fine. Seriously, this is a wonderful opportunity for the island and its residents and movies are great fun to watch being made.
ReplyDeleteWhat "fool"ish fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd what day is it today............?
ReplyDeleteVery funny. You didn't get me though...and as much as I like both of those actors, I hope a movie production never comes to Ocracoke!

I know that you always post an April Fools's prank, and yet EVERY year ... I fall for it! Maybe I need to put a sticky note on my monitor!
ReplyDeleteYou were quite believable on this one, Philip.
ReplyDeleteNot an April fools prank in 2008- I recall Richard Gere aboard the Hatteras/Ocracoke ferry filming NlGHTS IN RODANTHE.
So sorry. Charles was going to let his beard grow longer for a possible fall filming. LOL
ReplyDeleteOops I fell for it again . . lol!
