Graydog Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Phillip Noyce looks to be hitting the water for the first time since his 1989 breakthrough "Dead Calm." The director, who recently vacated Columbia's "Edwin A. Salt," has signed to develop and direct "Captain Blood," Warner Bros.' long-gestating remake of the swashbuckling 1935 classic. The Academy Award-nominated pirate movie starred Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland and Basil Rathbone and was based on a novel by Rafael Sabatini. Set in the 1600s, it tells the story of a doctor who is convicted for treason against the King of England, sold into slavery and escapes to high seas as a pirate. (The book also was adapted in 1924 by the Vitagraph Co.) Warners made the film with First Nation Pictures and has been trying to develop a remake for decades. In the early '90s, Jonathan Hensleigh, Chuck Russell and Frank Darabont took stabs at scripts. A search for writers is under way. Bill Gerber is producing. Warners is developing as a possible U.K./Australia co-production. Matt Reilly and Elishia Holmes are overseeing for the studio. Noyce, repped by WMA, last directed 2006's "Catch a Fire." Jay A. Fernandez contributed to this report. Web Story Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Misson Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Warner Bros has a remake of *Captina Blood* in the Pipeline. I'm guessing that's a typo. Otherwise, it may be Gena Davis. (Which some people might like - I thought she was pretty wooden in her piratess role myself.) They should have me play the role. Peter Blood is a surgeon, you know. (Please to note: It is a joke. I would be absolutely hopeless, not to mention useless as an actor.)

Salty Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Sigh the only way they could make captian blood any better would be to colourize it........ i wish em luck in the making but with the past attempts at remakes it is a wait and see. Although you have to admit a "Captina Blood" would be fun Mud Slinging Pyromanic , Errrrrr Ship's Potter at ye service Vagabond's Rogue Potter Wench First Mate of the Fairge Iolaire Me weapons o choice be lots o mud, sharp pointy sticks, an string

Perhaps they can get Jessica Simpson, those might be rubber....rubber is good, no spinters!! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock!

Poopdeck Pappy Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 My top two choices to play Dr. Peter Blood (Errol Flynn is hard to replace). 1) Gerard Butler 2) Russell Crowe Of course the role will probably go to Tom Cruise; between him and CGI the remake will suck. BATTLESAIL
Ransom Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Sadly, I think Heath Ledger would have been a good choice. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Bilgemunky Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I definitely think this would be the job for a non-action hero type - no Gerard Butlers or such. Blood was a doctor, and a relectant pirate. He was about brains and honor - sort of the Dr. Ryan of the pirate world. Not that our speculations mean much - Hollywood will do what Hollywood will do. Personally, I think Captain Blood could make for a splendid remake. Now as to whether I have faith in Hollywood to actually do so, that's a different question I AM BILGEMUNKY

Misson Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 John Goodman or Steve Buscemi.

Graydog Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Denzel Washington or Will Smith Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Blackbead Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Will Ferrell or John C. Reilly. And who's going to play Levasseur? Steve Carrel! "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
Bilgemunky Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 If we're going down that road, then I have to put in a vote for Paul Reubens. I AM BILGEMUNKY
Red Bess Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 If we're going down that road, then I have to put in a vote for Paul Reubens. Blood was a doctor, and a relectant pirate. Too bad Don Knotts is dead. Ladies in Scarlet: Piratical Art and Accessories
Iron Bess Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 Too bad Don Knotts is dead. ROTDLMAO!!!!! (well said yer'self!) Or Bob Denver. At least he was already sea worthy!! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Tall Paul Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 My vote would be for Colin Farrell or Hugh Jackman, They both have the physicality that the role needs, and they are both capable of the lightness of touch that makes a good swashbuckler. Cpt "Tall Paul" Adams Colchester Historical Enactment Society (C.H.E.S.)
JoshuaRed Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Colin Ferrell would be great...anyone see In Bruges? Fantastic.
callenish gunner Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I was nudged into agreeing with the idea of Hugh Jackman and perhaps Liv Tyler in the Olivia DeHaviland role and perhaps Antonio Banderas as Levasuer .Michael York as Bishop ....just an idea
StrangeBayPirate Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 as long as we are just wishin for a good movie, my vote would go for Daniel Day-Lewis as Peter Blood Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum viditur
Lady Alyx Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 web page as the article says good luck filling his boots. I think Russel Crowe would be great for this part. Val Kilmer seems to be doing nothing much these days...hmmm. Hugh I don't see as a pirate at all. He is great in the musical Oklahoma..fine siging voice. Christian I don't see as a pirate either. Brad Pitt...nawww... Mathew is too busy getting into nudity trouble...lmao... ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Black Syren Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Hugh Jackman, Russel Crowe...hmm Val Kilmer? If it truly were Captina how about Angelina Jolie..I can see her as a Pirate.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
