WB should make a new version
after the sucses of POTC i think that WB should make a new version of the crimson pirate.
who do you think should play in the new version?
I guess the pause between the original posters date (Sep 2004) and my reply (April 2005) is enough of an answer: There is no contemporary actor who could replace Burt Lancaster even remotely as lead actor in a remake.
A remake of "Crimson Pirate" would be as pointless as the lousy flopped remake of the "Flight Of The Phoenix": You can't beat a classic!
I agree.
This movie is a classic that needs no remakes. "Pirates Of The Caribbean" makes one nice homage to the movie when Sparrow and Turner walk under water with a boat on top of their heads.
I agree too..
The magic of the crimson pirate can never be the same if a remake was made. And we must relyya hope that it never will be a new one. Or maybe if I succes as a director in the future and will be able to make it=)
In short.....you're ever so right!!!
Forgot the underwater gig?
Got's to git now, later!

I agree that no contemporary actor could replace Burt Lancaster in this movie. Burt Lancaster was a trained gymnast and acrobate before he was an actor. During the '30's he was a high wire and trapezee artist with his friend and frequent co-star Nick Cravat. They grew up together in NYC. My dad knew and worked with them in a travelling carnival for a few years during the depression. When the movie was first broadcast on tv my dad told me stories of their times then. They needed no stunt doubles for this movie!
