Dutch director Roel Reiné will direct an episode of the HBO hit series Black Sails. It is the first time that Reiné has been asked for an American series. The producers approached the Dutchman after seeing the historical epic Michiel de Ruyter. The shooting will take place in Cape Town in January. Black Sails tells about a free port in the Caribbean where pirates held sway in the early eighteenth century.
The series has already won two Primetime Emmy Awards. The leading role is played by actor Toby Stephens, who is best known to the general public as the villain in the Bond film Die Another Day. A supporting role in the current season is played by the Dutch actor and former Waku Waku presenter Rob Fruithof.
