A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey, there's going to be a remake of Captain Blood. . . now, who to cast for the Erroll Flynn role?
Hugh Jackman
20 years ago, I'd have put Harrison Ford in that role. Not now.
Russell Crowe, maybe? Not that I'm comfortable with him, but I can't think of anybody truly capable of taking on that joyful, larger-than-life persona in an action adventure hero.
Hugh Jackman
John Barrowman.
John Barrowman.
Now I am picturing captain Blood whipping out his penis!
This is sort of weird, but I think Keanu could play Captain Blood.
Take Barrowman's joie de vivre and Jackman's ability to play larger than life, and I think you have it.

Pirates of Penzance/Sophie's Choice era Kevin Kline. HMOG. Now? Offhand I really can't think of anybody. Sad, really.
Make Captain Blood a woman, and Lucy Lawless could totally play her. I always thought Lawless was the modern Errol Flynn, mediocre at acting, but a marvelous performer, great swagger, great sneer, great charisma and projected the impression of being relaxed of never taking it too seriously.
