In 1665, a fearless pirate captain's crew is stolen by the Dead Sea King, an undead being with numerous spells and monsters at his command. After he's saved from drowning by a female stowaway, the two of them find a new crew, and try to save the captain's men. All the while dealing with their own romantic/stormy relationship.

Good start, Dwayne & you have a ton of fun stuff to play with here! I would consider streamlining this a bit, first bearing in mind that a logline should be max two sentences. Consider, too, the following super helpful formula when writing your logline: (When) protagonist + inciting incident + (they must) obstacle + (or else) stakes.
ie: "When a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down."
I hope that's helpful & again, good start!
Thank you so much Angela. I truly appreciate yer wonderful and heartfelt advice, that's very sweet of you. And truthfully, I knew it was way too long when I posted it. But how do you take something with action, adventure, romance, foul monsters, humor, love, magic and a healthy handful of stout hearts and heroic souls, and pare it down to just two little sentences? I know, it has to be done...lol. It's just trying to figure out which parts to highlight and which parts to let speak for themselves when the time is right? But, I will find a way. But thanks again for yer helpful words. Much appreciated. Take care.

If the "Dead Sea King" is a fantasy element, that needs to be indicated.

Thanks Steve.
Cool title.
Thanks for that Sean. Much appreciated. The title is two-fold of course. To let interested parties know that the screenplay involves the sea, the undead, pirates of course, and mostly, adventure. Sorta peak their interest.
