>>221166224Will Jackman sing professional pirate in this?
>Ridley Scott
If it's Ridley, it's gonna have fucking spaceships because, after all, were any of us alive back then to confirm there WEREN'T spaceships?
>>221166224Long john silver is one of literatures most iconic characters and so far the best big screen version we had was Tim Curry
>>221166267Disney already owns the concept of Treasure Island with spaceships.
>Ridley Scottenough already
>>221166224>Script by “Adolescence” writer Jack Thorne.So it's gonna be toxic masculinity garbage
>>221166224>Script by “Adolescence” writerME OWN FOOKIN SON, A BLOODY PIRATE
>>221166258spbp>>221166270>the best big screen version we had was Tim Currywrong
>two charisma vacuums and a geriatric director for a whimsical pirate adventurewhat could go wrong?
>>221166224Great, a remake of some old shit once again.
>>221166402>two charisma vacuumsyou're a charisma vacuum, they're not
>>221166427>a remakeIt's an adaptation, dickhead.
>>221166402>Hugh Jackman>charisma vacuumNow this is advanced contrarianism.
>>221166431>you're a charisma vacuum, they're not
>>221166224>Script by “Adolescence” writer Jack Thorne.One would think he is too busy masturbating over footage of native Britons being beheaded by his pets to write scripts.
>>221166224Don't they have young actors in Hollywood that they cast a 30 year old to be a cabin boy?
>>221166224Barf
>>221166224Why wont Ridley just fucking die already
>scottohnononono
>Island
>>221166491He's still a young spry 28
>>221166445The only thing i'd watch is a remake of Pirates, the 2000s porn film, but only with twinks this time.
>>221166598it's the porn blockbuster, right?
>Aw hell Jim, I could never harm you! You're honest and brave and true! You didn't learn that from me.No adaptation will ever top this, and a fucking muppet movie had no reason to be kino of this caliber
>>221166491No, thanks to unions. It's why you had old, fat Scarlett Johannsen cast as mercenary in latest Jurassic World.
>>221166617Yeah, it was the most expensive porn to produce at the time.
>>221166491The entire appeal of the character is he is a 13 year old boy in over his head
>>221166224Old man needs to fucking retire already, HE SUCKS
>>221166224stfu Ridley go produce another season of Raised by Wolves instead
>>221166316ME OWN SONIN BARBOSSA'S CREW
>>221166224First Adam Driver now Jacob Elordi, why does Ridley keep casting these ugly flavor of the month actors?
>>221167057Heeeeeh
>hugh jackman in another pirate thingwill he sing smells like teen spirit again?
>>221166224>>221166270>>221166445>>221166491>>221166590Friendly reminder that picrel is not only the best Treasure Island adaptation ever made but it’s also one of the better movies ever made.Noted charismatic dumbshit blowhard Charlton Heston plays a perfect LJS and Christian Bale is perfect as young Jim. Literally every role in this movie is filled with the perfect actor. It’s exactly what it needs to be.
>>221167369Better than the Muppets Treasure Island?
>>221167369CastCharlton Heston as Long John SilverChristian Bale as Jim HawkinsOliver Reed as Billy BonesChristopher Lee as Blind PewRichard Johnson as Squire TrelawneyJulian Glover as Dr LiveseyIsla Blair as Mrs HawkinsClive Wood as Captain SmolletNicholas Amer as Ben GunnJohn Abbott as JoyceJames Cosmo as RedruthJames Coyle as MorganMichael Halsey as Israel HandsMichael Thoma as HunterPete Postlethwaite as George MerryRobert Putt as Job AndersonJohn Benfield as Black DogRichard Beale as Mr ArrowBrett Fancy as Young TomSteven Mackintosh as DickBill Sloan as Scarface
>>221167369I think I've seen this as a kid
>>221167458>muppetsI get that they’re fun but grow the fuck up.Or possibly tits or GTFO
>>221166745>at the time.Surely nothing has eclipsed it since? There's no dvd market anymore, hence no budgets.
>>221167481>Nicholas Amer as Ben GunnAbsolute golden performance. Robert Louis Stevenson would have loved this movie.
>>221166649>a fucking muppet movie had no reason to be kino of this caliberthe muppets are pure kino up until brian henson sold out to disney in 2004.
I don't see how anyone could ever do better than the miniseries starring Harry Potter.
>>221167678He was checked out by 1999. I hate to say it but Muppets in Space is kinda ass.
>>221167369>Christopher Lee as Blind PewKino
>>221167132embarrassingly bad
>Elordi eyed to play Jim Hawkins.?
>>221167565Fuck you nigger Muppets Treasure Island is one of the best movies ever made
>>221167984
>>221167481why the fuck have i not heard of this till now. pete postlethwaite alone makes this worth a watch
>>221168632It's a random TV movie and there's several adaptations of Treasure Island that are very famous. Pretty easy for it to be overlooked. I've seen almost the entirety of Christian Bale's filmography and even I didn't realize this film existed until this thread because it's listed as a TV role.
>>221166584the 70s anime is ten times better than the skiffy disney slop
>>221167587>Surely nothing has eclipsed it since? There's no dvd market anymore, hence no budgets.That's a question to ask Chatgpt kun.But i don't want to ask her, i don't want her to think i'm a coomer.
>>221166224Wtf Elordi as a teenage boy ? No fucking way.
>>221166224Jacob Elordi is so boring.
My favorite is always the 1934 version
>>221166224What was the last good movie Ridley Scott made?
