A new movie has just received the green light to start pre-production. Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer behind such blockbusters as the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Armageddon, Top Gun, and Kangaroo Jack, will be producing the 200 million dollar sequel to Pirates of Silicon Valley. The tentative title of the sequel to the 1999 made for TV movie is ‘Pirates of Silicon Valley: Patents in Space’. The cast has yet to be revealed, and Jerry Bruckheimer is trying to keep his casting choices a secret for the time being. We do know that Bruce Willis is in talks to play Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, while Hugh Jackman is in talks to play Apple Chief Steve Jobs. Bruckheimer spoke with Macdiculous at a private media event where he told us, “I am going to take the story in a bit of a different direction than the first movie did. I mean, it was good, but there wasn’t enough fighting, gun fire, and things blowing up. In fact, there wasn’t one love scene! How can you have a good movie without a love scene? My new vision will take the feud between the two men into space for the ultimate showdown. Once in space, they need to rely on their own software to save their lives and make it back home…alive. It should be pretty good.” The movie is set to open in the Summer of 2008. The movie is also set to be a complete flop.
