In other news from the historical genre today, Deadline reports that Rosalind Ross will pen the script for BLACK SAM,  the true life story of vigilante pirate Samuel Bellamy! He was an impoverished colonist turned pirate who waged a year long war against British oppression in the early 18th century.

Despite his short career, Sam remains the wealthiest pirate in recorded history.
