The biopic depicts Flynn's roust-about early life in Australia, before he became an internationally famed celebrity. In those days he was an adventurer, opium smuggler, gambler, street fighter, womanizer, and gold prospector. The film, based on Flynn's early autobiography "Beam Ends," was written for the screen by Large and Luke Flynn, who found the inspiration as a result of their travels through Australia in the footsteps of Luke's iconic grandfather. Film production will start next July in Australia with a budget of $12 million. The book's title refers to the last visible sign before a ship sinks. 澳大利亚男星托马斯·康奎尔将出演埃罗尔·弗林传记片。拉塞尔·穆卡希([天佑鲍比])执导该片,科里·拉奇、卢克·弗林等操刀剧本。该片故事设定在年轻的埃罗尔·弗林身上,不会提及他糜烂、臭名昭著的私生活,本片则讲述年轻弗林一系列惊心动魄、刺激的淘金过往。
