Make Captain Blood a woman, and Lucy Lawless could totally play her.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Take Barrowman's joie de vivre and Jackman's ability to play larger than life, and I think you have it.
Johnny Depp?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Depp might be able to, but I see him as too off-center to be the next Flynn. I do like the idea of Captain Blood as a woman, and Lawless might be able to do it.

Always Anti-fascist!
I never thought it would happen, but I'm sick of Johnny Depp.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oooh. Captain Blood remake!
Johnny Depp
Too fey.
Russell Crowe
Too broody/charmless
John Barrowman
Cannot act his way out of a paper bag.
Hugh Jackman
Hmmm. He's got the right build for it. And it's a UK-Australia co-production, so he's got a leg up there as well. He might have lost some star power though, what with the Viva Laughlin debacle and Australia getting panned critically.
Since someone mentioned Russell Crowe, maybe Paul Bettany? He certainly is charming enough, and he's got dramatic chops, too. Wee bit on a slender side, but he could probably beef up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Damian Lewis?

I think casting Lucy Lawless as a British doctor in the 17th century might take the movie less of an adventure romp and more of a science fiction piece.

Christian Bale?
ETA: Gerard Butler?

She doesn't have to be a doctor. Doctors daughter?
