Luke Arnold, actor: "Captain Jack Sparrow and Long John Silver would have understood each other".

by: Jacinto Antón for El País

The actor in the 'Black Sails' pirate series is also the author of the popular "Sunder City" series fantasy novels.

It's a thrill to be with the actor who has starred in a series that has kept you gripped for many hours in front of the screen. Luke Arnold (Norwood, Adelaide, 39) is a handsome, friendly Australian and a successful writer, but when you look at him and scrutinize his rare steel-blue eyes, you see great sails unfurled at sea, old galleons and the Jolly Roger, the pirate flag, fluttering menacingly at the top of a mast.

Arnold, who wears an earring in his left ear and sports the same beard and curly hair from the series, played a youthful and very handsome Long John Silver in Black Sails (four seasons, 2014-2017), the terrific prequel-twenty years earlier-to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. The series was about the Golden Age of piracy and was centered on Captain Flint and Long John Silver, with the appearance of other famous pirates and buccaneers such as Blackbeard, Jack Rackham, Charles Vane, or Anne Bonney. The actor is also the author of a series of very popular fantasy novels (**The Fetch Philips series, published by Gamon, which begins with The Last Smile in Sunder City) about a world inhabited by humans and legendary beings that have lost their magic. Something that certainly hasn't happened to him. The interview is -where else- at the Gigamesh bookstore in Barcelona.

**Interviewer: This idea of yours of a world in which magic has vanished and fairies, elves, wizards, gnomes, centaurs, mermaids, angels and vampires languish and wither is very powerful.

**Luke Arnold: I don't know where it came from, but it is a metaphor for our environment where illusion has been abandoned and cynicism rules.

Interviewer: The loss of magic as a force that moves the world and the need to look for alternative sources also suggests our energy crisis.

Luke Arnold: Absolutely, we are running out of resources and inaction makes us accomplices. The stakes are high and we must roll up our sleeves.

Interviewer: It's very good to mix fantasy and crime novels, a Raymond Chandler-like detective in a Tolkien magic scenario.

Luke Arnold: I like the imagery of the hardened and disillusioned researcher, and if you put it together with angels, witches, gnomes or unicorns…. But I'm not the first to make those mixtures, there's Terry Pratchett.

Interviewer: And Tim Powers, who by the way also wrote On Stranger Shores, a novel that mixed magic and pirates. The fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, the one with the mermaids, was partly based on it.

Luke Arnold: That gave it that special tone.

Interviewer: Are you very interested in pirates?

Luke Arnold: Oh, yes, I find what they represent very appealing, not the peg leg and the rum, but their broad concept of freedom. I'm not someone who puts a lot of stock in dates and historical concepts, but I love the evocations. Black Sails understood perfectly the evocative power of pirates and the idea that they were exiles from society, and took that idea to another level.

Interviewer: What was it like to be Long John Silver in the series?

Luke Arnold: It was an honor to participate in Black Sails and very exciting to play the role, I was very aware of the expectations of the character. I had read Treasure Island before and seen all the film and television adaptations. Long John Silver, who in the series is closer in age to Stevenson's Jim, is a tragic character with something pathetic, more complex than a conventional pirate. And that is reflected in Black Sails.

Interviewer: What would Captain Jack Sparrow think of Long John Silver?

Luke Arnold: They would probably get along well, they would make a good team. They are both great manipulators. They're not the toughest pirates, but, on the other hand, they use their imagination very well. And they both move in a moral gray area. Villains who can be charming.

Interviewer: How was the shooting?

Luke Arnold: A dream, the scripts were fabulous, and they gave you all the toys; boats, swords, costumes. We shot for four years in Cape Town, we all got very involved and enjoyed ourselves immensely. What I liked most were the long scenes, with a lot of dialogue, especially with Flint, it was like a dance between two men.

Interviewer: Without making a spoiler, there is a moment of revelation of Flint's past that is a real shock?

Luke Arnold: Toby Stephens, the actor who played him, was the only one who knew that. We were all shocked. There in that twist, we saw that the series was going to be very different from what was expected, it was very audacious.

Interviewer: Do you long for the sea and pirates?

Luke Arnold: I'm now doing Nautilus, a prequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, for Disney.

Interviewer: Wow! Will it be Ned Land?

Luke Arnold: No, neither Captain Nemo. I'll be a soldier chasing him. And I'll also be in a thriller. And I'm still writing, I really like the series of novels.

Interviewer: Did you have to learn a lot of fencing to play a pirate?

Luke Arnold: Well, I was precisely the one who had the most experience with the sword. I studied theatrical fencing and my first job was as a fight choreographer in an adaptation of Peter Pan.

Interviewer: A premonition.

Luke Arnold: Hahaha, yes, I also played Romeo, who has to fight.

Interviewer: Better for Mercutio fencing.

Luke Arnold: Right. And Hamlet, but maybe I'm over my head for this one, for the prince. The Shakespearean character I'd like to play above all is Henry V.

Stills / Photos / Screencaps from Turn

Hey! In preparation for Turn Week 2023, some of you may be looking for stills from the show to prepare posts, memes, images, what have you.

I’ll add the ones I use -- maybe reblog and add more sources if you can?

Fanpop has a lot of quality, high-res stills but only for Season 1 (also some gifs)

This fan site Farfarawaysite has great stills for S1-S4.

From @honorhearted: This site, as well! https://kissthemgoodbye.net/PeriodDrama/index.php?cat=169

Yes! Amazing! High quality images for S1-S4 available at The Movie DB (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/57276-turn-washington-s-spies/season/1) and thanks @georgios-kyriacos for finding them!

hey there! sorry for bothering you, but i was just wondering if you could share where you get your sources for doing edits? the page i used for shows and such hasn't updated for several months, so i'm just trying to find a safe source. only if you want to share. thanks. :)

Hi There!,

No problem, this is gonna be a long list.

Stills and Promo Shoots - Farfarawaysite x

Caps - Kissthemgoodbye: period drama x, the white queen x

Stills and Promo Shoots - FDB x

Stills, Promo Shoots and Caps - VK, pretty much search for the show or the actor in the show you want to look at and a fan page will show up with most of the above. My promo shoot page x

Stills and Promo Shoots - Flmweb x

Stills and Promo Shoots - CSFD x

Stills and Promo Shoots - Mediakklik x

Photographer or Production sites. If you know the stills or promo shoot photographer they normally have good outtakes and in HQ. Production company/companies or people part of the production normally have sites with these as well.

Also, I find googling an actor in a show you like for a fansite or a sosugary gallery you may find some results.

Same as above any search engine really I like to use Yandex sometimes, other occasions I may use yahoo. There are some other ones but they are not coming to me at the moment.

I make most of my caps from torrent downloads I have, the higher the quality the better for example my edits on @queencatherineparr were from a 2160p download whereas on some other shows you see on this blog or other blogs I run you can only get 720p or 1080p which are good but sharpening can be a bit more of a hassle. Lower than 720p is the absolute worse sometimes.

For some of these sites you may need right click on the page and do an inspect and go to network and reload the page, most images come up and you are able to open them in HQ.

I am gonna post this publically for anyone else that might want to know.

Thanks!.
