I'll check out another pirate movie, why not? Pirates, revenge, a guy named Captain Blood... sounds like it's all there to me.
So quit your *****ing.
For Example: The Maltese Falcon, The novel has been filmed three times in a span of ten years, twice under its original title:
The Maltese Falcon (1931), the first version, pre-Code production starring Ricardo Cortez and Bebe Daniels
Satan Met a Lady (1936), a light-comedy adaptation starring Bette Davis and Warren William, with Sam Spade becoming "Ted Shane".
The Maltese Falcon (1941) the third version, considered to be a film noir classic, starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet.
I have no problem remaking a movie in 2008 that was made in 1938. My problem is when you start remaking classic movies that are only 10,20,30,40 years old.
I mean certain movies shouldn't be touched. The Godfather I and II(they need to burn three and remake it), Star Wars the original Trilogy, Clockwork Organge, etc...
J-Son provided some examples and here's further one:
The original "Captain Blood" didn't star Errol Flynn, it stared J. Warren Kerrigan and was released in the early 1920s (1924 I believe). Michael Curtiz then directed the Errol Flynn version in 1935. I think it was remade some afterwards as well.
but again, I despise remakes, and I think that it's really sad that many struggling, creative writers can't break it into the business while others are just sitting around and mining a studio's vault for remakes. Sad. Really sad.
