a score o'moons ago, dread newman an' me were jawin', an' by turn betook th' topic o'cap'n Powers, bein' as i'd jus then read a couple o' his most good novels. an newman said ta me that i should tak a look at ol' Tim's book on dirty, rowdy, spooky pirates, On Stranger Tides. only i jus got ta readin' it a fortnight ago, which were a pity, for it were indeed a most mighty swashbuckling ghost story. i do recommen' it most heartily. vodun an' seabattles mak for action what never stops.

Just some weird rumors: heard that the next Pirates of the Carribean movie is going to be called "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides". And Tim Powers has mentioned SOMETHING about a movie development deal.

No idea if these events are related, but one may hope.

If true: wow!

I've got some decent confirmation of the rumors. Besides having seen it pop up at least once on a semi-journalistic outlet, I have a friend who has a copy of said novel signed by the Author which reads, in essence, 'Enjoy this novelization of a disney movie'. This was a few years back, so even then it seems he was dealing with Disney to make a movie out of the novel.

Tim Powers rocks, just in general.
