The script for the upcoming film was written by Jack Thorne. Scott will take the director's chair, while Jackman will play one of the key roles. According to foreign media reports, he may portray the legendary pirate Long John Silver. The film will be based on the classic adventure novel by Stevenson. The story follows young Jim Hawkins, who accidentally becomes the owner of a treasure map. Along with a crew, he embarks on a dangerous sea voyage, where he encounters the treacherous ship's cook, Long John Silver. The expedition turns into a deadly struggle for the treasure, unfolding on a deserted island. 'Treasure Island' has been adapted for the screen multiple times. The first sound version appeared in 1934, and in 1950, Disney released its own adaptation. Now Ridley Scott intends to present a modern interpretation of the classic story, transforming it into a large-scale adventure film. Hugh Jackman's casting as Long John Silver has already sparked great interest among film fans.
