'Captain Blood' in space? Think 'Treasure Planet' or (gulp) 'Ice Pirates' | Hero Complex | Los Angeles Times: "When you think of classic pirate films, right at the top of the list is Captain Blood, which was released right after Christmas Day 1935 and captured the imagination of America. The film was nominated for five Oscars, including best picture and best director for Michael Curtiz (who would later win the trophy for 'Casablanca'), and it made a star of first-time leading man Errol Flynn.
It's a bit risky tampering with such esteemed Hollywood history, but that's just what's happening with talk of a remake.
Oh, and it's going to be set in outer space."
