Universal to take on pirates!!
No, relax, this has nothing to do with Universal Pictures trying to take on Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with a Ricky Tomlinson fronted all singin’ all dancin’, swashbuckling Pugwash trilogy (although maybe it’s something they should think about! James Cameron’s next 3D epic perhaps?). Or sending Lady Gaga [...]
