As we all know, Errol’s Captain Blood was astronomically successful. It made him a star. In recognition of the film’s greatness, eighty years later, it may finally be remade – in outer space! … Whatta ya’ think?!!

I don’t know. It’s almost a cliche. Actually, it IS a cliche to remake a movie and then add “…in space!” Spartacus…in space! High Noon…in space! Etc.
The truth is Captain Blood was a fictionalized version of Morgan the Pirate. The main difference is that Peter Blood is a doctor. But otherwise both were legendary pirates who ultimately became Governors.
Back when Arnold Schwarzenegger was at his box-office peak,(circa 1994) he seriously considered a Captain Blood remake and commissioned a painting depicting him in the role to help him decide. I guess he didn’t like the finished product.(Though I think it looks pretty good.)

Some things should just be left alone.
Let’s hope they don’t “clone” that one, twinarchers!
