PIRATES IN THE BLUFF FILM

Zoe Saldana will lead The Bluff adventure

Netflix and director Frank E. Flowers are preparing a new historical adventure movie THE BLUFF and they have set Zoe Saldana as the lead. Apparently, several streaming services battled for the project set in the Cayman Islands in the 1800s in which Saldana plays Ercell, a Caribbean woman whose secret past is revealed when her island is invaded by vicious buccaneers. As Deadline writes, the intention is to blend visceral action and historical fiction to create a real action vehicle as the heroine fights against the atrocities committed by the pirates.  The movie will also have another strong female who is part of the vigilante campaign, and also the nasty lead pirate so stayed tuned for the casting updates for other of the leading roles.
