Richard Curtis is set to write and direct "The Boat That Rocked ", a new comedy about a pirate radio station based on a boat reports Filmstalker.
In the past in the UK, old pirate radio stations were situated on boats just sitting in international waters with enough juice to broadcast to mainland UK.
Curtis, the director of such films as "Love Actually" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" has described it as "Animal House" meets "Titanic".
