Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Plot

I thought the Wiki project thingy was to build a COMPREHENSIVe guid to movies. This is really sketchy! I know you people seem to think it was a bad movie( and in my opinion, this is a very negative article,)but if it was that big a flop, it deserves better coverage for making movie history, savvy? jack SParra

It's Dog, not Dawg, look at the credits.

[edit] Soundtrack

John Debney's music for Cutthroat Island is considered one of the best swashbuckling scores and overall best film scores ever. Check the rave reviews in soundtrack.net. They should do an extensive article about the score, as it has been released in three CD's (four, I should say), two of them pretty much the same but with different covers and labels and an extended edition, with two CD's. The second has unused cues, a syntheziser demo and two tracks not by Debney but that were orchestrated by him (one of them was played in Renny Harlin's wedding with Geena Davis). Either way, they should make an article for it. It's importance is that although the movie was forgettable, the score is still remembered. A friend of mine, a specialist in film music, considered it "better than John Williams". That's gotta count for something Not even Pirates of the Caribbean surpassed it in spectacularity, as the later was more syntheziser based (as with most of Hans Zimmer's works). And Pirates gets a whole article for each soundtrack. That's just not fair --Surten (talk) 03:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Surten. And that brings me to the following:

[edit] Open Call

I'm writing this comment in all of the articles about special editions of soundtracks. I suggest to create an article (or a portal if it was needed) with a list of soundtracks that have been expanded in several and more complete editions, as I find interesting to see which scores have been succesful enough that many editions and much more complete versions have been released. Please reply if you agree with me or if there's already something similar. --Surten (talk) 03:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Surten

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cutthroat Island DVD cover.jpg

Image:Cutthroat Island DVD cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
